Fresh Air Intakes
V E N T I L AT I O N C O N S I D E R A T I O N S
The front of your Wolf gas rangetop must be
clear of any obstruction. For proper operation
and servicing, a clear area of at least 36" (914)
in front of the rangetop is recommended.
Your kitchen must provide an adequate supply
of fresh air to assure proper combustion and
ventilation. For the gas rangetop, fresh air
intakes are located below the bullnose and
control knobs. Never block the fresh air
intakes, as they provide air required for proper
operation. Refer to the illustration below.
Due to the high volume of ventilation air
required, a source of outside replacement air is
recommended. This is particularly important
for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A
qualified HVAC contractor should be consulted.
Keep combustibles such as solvents,
cleaning fluids, mops and rags, away from
the area surrounding all gas appliances.
V E N T I L AT I O N O P T I O N S
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is recommended that
you operate the Wolf gas rangetop with a Pro
ventilation hood. Contact your Wolf dealer for
details.
Pro Wall Hood –
22" (559), 24" (610) or 27"
(686) depths and 30" (762) to 66" (1676)
widths in classic stainless steel.
Pro Island Hood –
36" (914) to 66" (1676)
widths in classic stainless steel.
Pro Hood Liner –
available in widths to
accommodate 30" (762) to 60" (1524) hood
shells.
All Pro ventilation hoods have welded seams,
sealed halogen lighting and removable, dishwasher-safe stainless steel filters.
Blower requirements may vary due to length
of duct work and number of angles. The basic
recommendation is 1 CFM per 100 Btu/hr.
Always consult your HVAC professional for
more concise blower requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When installing a ventilation hood, refer to the specific requirements
of the hood for the minimum dimension to
