Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions located at the beginning of the manual. All hoods require the choice of a remote, in-line, or integral blower. Use only Thermador

blowers with Thermador ventilation hoods. All blower models are sold separately. See the Ventilation Planning Guide for recommended blowers. Contact Customer Service for additional options. WARNING To avoid risk of burn, turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food. DO NOT use all heating elements or gas burners simultaneously at high settings for a prolonged period (max.15 minutes). If the hood is located over a gas cooktop, operate the hood at maximum setting whenever three or more gas burners are being used. DO NOT operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. All hood models are rated for 120 VAC, using a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker; see the Installation Instructions for more details. When connected to a GFCI-protected supply, the Pro Hoods are suitable for use in damp locations that are protected from outside weather conditions and not subject to saturation with water and other liquids, but can be subject to moderate degrees of moisture. Refer to local codes, NEC/CEC, and or the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for additional information.

A second press dims the lights. A third press turns the lights off. An 0 –100% light slider in Home Connect app allows additional control to obtain the perfect level of light.

• The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.

• Use the lower speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.

• Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be prevented when possible.

• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.

• Regular use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.

• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.

• For optimal performance, the width of the hood should equal that of the cooktop or rangetop or exceed it by 3 inches on either side. Install these hoods only with Thermador blowers. (h) CONNECT Home Connect™ This function allows the user to connect the hood with a mobile device. (i) RH LAMP Right Heat Lamp (PHxxGWS only) Independently controls the right infrared heating lamp, turning the light on or off. U Control Tone To turn the control tone off or on, hold the FILTER and LIGHTS button for 3 seconds.

• Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Thermador to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall. How Long the Warranty Lasts Thermador warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of seven hundred and thirty (730) days from the date of purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, "As Is", or "B" stock appliances. Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy During this warranty period, Thermador or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Thermador will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Thermador’s sole discretion, for an additional charge).
