Installation Requirements
Wolf cooktop ventilation hoods are recommended for
use with Wolf induction, electric, and gas cooktops and
integrated modules. For ranges and rangetops, a Wolf pro
ventilation hood is recommended.
These hoods have a telescopic chimney ue. A ue extension is available through an authorized Wolf dealer.
Installation of the cooktop hood should be 24"
(914) from the bottom of the hood to the countertop.
36"
Wall and island hoods require an internal, in-line, or remote
blower assembly, avail able through an authorized Wolf
dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
Consult a qualied HVAC professional for specic installation and ducting applications.

For wall hoods, locate the electrical supply within the
shaded area shown in the illustration below. Allow a
minimum 12"

Ducting
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, use only metal ducting.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a qualied HVAC professional
for specic installation and ducting applications.
Cooktop ventilation hoods accommodate a 6"
(152) round
duct. Use only rigid metal ducting.
A straight, short duct run is most effective and will ensure
proper performance. If the duct run exceeds 50'
(15 m), a
higher CFM blower may be required to maintain proper air
ow. A remote blower installed on a short duct run may
increase the potential for noise.
Internal and in-line blowers require a roof or wall cap. Connect ducting to the cap and work back towards the hood.
Use sheet metal screws and aluminum tape or high temperature duct tape to seal joints between ducting sections.
Cooktop hoods include a backdraft damper. Local codes
may require the use of an additional backdraft and/or
make-up air damper. Contact your local HVAC professional
for specic requirements.
A make-up air damper is available through an authorized
Wolf dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a
showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of re and to properly exhaust air,
be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air
into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl
spaces, or garages.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of re and electrical shock, only
install this range hood with remote blower models
rated a maximum of 3A suitable for use with solid state
speed control or internal blowers manufactured by
Wolf, “Blower—300 CFM” or “Blower—600 CFM”.

WALL HOOD
IMPORTANT NOTE: The hood is wired for an internal
blower. If an in-line or remote blower will be used, refer to

If an internal blower will be used, install the blower prior
to mounting the hood. Refer to page 8 for internal blower
installation.
1 Mark the centerline for the location of the two mounting
holes using dimensions shown in the chart and illustration below. Additional wall framing is recommended
in this location. If wall framing is not available, the use
of wall anchors is recommended. Install the mounting
1
screws so there is approximately
/4" (6) gap between
the screw head and the wall. Position the two mounting
brackets for the chimney ue, then install using two
mounting screws per bracket. Refer to the illustration
below.
