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.

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
In-Line | Remote Blower Wiring on page 9.
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 center line for location of 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 screws
1
so there is approximately
/4" (6) gap between the screw
head and wall. Position the two mounting brackets for
the chimney ue, then install using two mounting screws
per bracket. Refer to the illustration below.

2 Place the mounting tabs over the mounting screws. Use
the leveling adjustment screws to ensure the hood is
level. Refer to the illustration below.
3 Mount the electrical plate to the wall using screws
provided.
4 Place the backdraft damper on the round discharge then
install 6"
(152) round metal ducting (not provided) to the
damper and seal with aluminum tape.
5 Make wiring connections. Refer to page 9.
6 Once wiring connections are complete, secure the upper
chimney ue to the mounting brackets using screws
provided. Refer to the illustration below. Place the lower

locations, then use a 1
/4" drill bit to create a hole for the
electrical power supply.
2 Place four mounting screws into the ceiling, then posi-
tion the support frame on those screws. Once the support frame is in place, tighten screws.
3 Determine the desired height of the support frame and
adjust the height by removing four screws. Once the
desired height is achieved, reinstall and tighten screws.
4 Place the damper on the support frame then attach
ducting to the damper.
5 Slide the upper chimney ue onto the support frame and
attach to the support frame using screws provided. Refer
to the illustration below. Slide the lower chimney ue
over the upper and temporarily secure in this position
using adhesive tape.
6 Raise the hood to the support frame and connect the
hood to the support frame with four screws provided.
Refer to the illustration below.
7 Insert the two prong connector from the hood into the
receptacle on the support frame.
8 For internal blowers, install the blower. For remote
blowers, continue to step 9.
9 Make wiring connections. Refer to page 9.
