When buying a luxury car, performance,
styling and design are important considerations, but what’s under the hood is just as
important. A luxury brand is only as good
as its performance. It’s the same with kitchen ventilation products. Design is important
and can help tie together the look of
a fantastic kitchen, but performance —
literally, what’s under the hood — makes all
the difference.
Viking ventilation systems not only subdue even the most pungent cooking aromas
— silently — but they look fantastic doing
it. When you specify Viking for your clients,
you’re not just specifying a premium, luxury
brand. You’re specifying legendary performance for clients who appreciate Viking
not just as a product, but a way of life.
Design solutions for every kitchen
The Viking Professional Series of ventilation products offers the classic Viking
look — commercial and stylish, while the
Designer Series complements any Viking
kitchen with a sleek, modern design. Both
styles are designed to be complementary.
They mix and match well. A Designer hood
looks great above a Professional range, and
vice versa. The combination may be just
the subtle detail to put the final touch on a
kitchen design.
Between the two styles, you have the
largest choice of finishes in the industry.
In the Professional Series there are 14
finishes, including stainless, white and
black, as well as a full range of vibrant
colors. The Designer Series features

Another option is a built-in custom
ventilation system. The Viking Professional
custom ventilator systems feature heavy-duty
construction, professional-type design and
styling in a unit that easily installs into almost
any custom hood application.
Functional solutions for every kitchen
Viking offers wall hoods and island hoods,
and chimney options for every range, rangetop or cooktop. The 18”H. Professional
hoods are designed to provide the capacity for larger ranges with interior or exterior
ventilators. The 12”H. and 14”H. Designer
hoods complement the sleeker lines of the
Designer Series. The 10”H. interior-power
wall hoods allow replacement of most
older, low-performance hoods with minimal
cabinet alteration.
In addition, VersaVent™ rear downdrafts
are available for rangetops or cooktops in
either island or wall applications where an
overhead hood is not practical or desired
(as long as the rangetop does not have a gas
grill or wok).
Sometimes exterior ventilation isn’t an
option. In that case, a Viking recirculating
conversion kit is the best solution. It directs
air out of the canopy and away from the
cooking area. Kitchens don’t smell like kitchens when you remove cooking byproducts
and odors with charcoal filters. And no
outside ducting means you’ll create clean air
with easy interior installation.
Hood features for every kitchen
Specifying Viking means that thoughtful
design ensures that nothing gets between
your clients and the cooking experience.

Halogen lights provide better lighting efficiency. A dimmer on the lights allows custom
settings, while a separate on/off switch allows
the homeowner to save the settings. A heat
sensor turns the ventilator on full power when
cooking temperature reaches uncomfortable
levels. On Designer Series models, a delay
feature can be set so that the ventilator shuts
off on its own 10 to 30 minutes later. Heat
lamps are standard on all 18”H. Professional
Series wall hoods. All the hood configurations
feature easy cleanup.
Power for every kitchen
Ventilators are rated in CFM units, which
stands for cubic feet of air moved per minute.
In general, the ventilation industry follows the
100 to 1 rule when determining how much
CFM is needed — in other words, for every
100 BTU of heat generated by the cooking
appliance, the blower should move 1 CFM of
air. For instance, a gas range with four 15,000BTU burners should be equipped with at least
a 600-CFM ventilator.
Ventilators are available with both interior
power and exterior power kits, with some models only available with interior power. All Viking
ventilators are astonishingly quiet for the power
they pack. The interior power units range from
300 to 1,200 CFM. Exterior power units range
from 900 CFM to a high of 1,500 CFM.
Ventilation for every kitchen
In order to maintain quality standards,
Viking ventilator kits must be used with Viking
hoods; use with non-Viking kits voids the
product warranty. There is one ventilator and
one duct run for any size hood/ventilator
combination. It’s best to keep the duct run as
short as possible. All Viking ventilators, with
the exception of the 1,500-CFM units, are
designed for 50 feet as the maximum run. The
1,500-CFM units can handle up to 75 feet.
Please note, when laying out the duct run, the
general thought is that every 90-degree turn is
equal to 5-10 feet in a straight run.
An unbeatable combination of style
and performance
When you specify a Viking ventilation
system, your client won’t just have a legendary
brand in the kitchen, but also the performance
to match. They’ll be proud of how the hood
looks, and they’ll delight in the performance
of what’s under the hood.
