IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
c) When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
Ducting
WARNING
Use only metal ducting.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a qualified HVAC professional for specific installation and ducting applications.
The hood accommodates 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 airflow. 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. Use sheet metal screws and aluminum tape or high temperature duct tape to seal joints between ducting sections.
The hood includes 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 specific requirements.
A make-up air damper is available through an authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer information, visit the find a showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire 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-600 CFM".
Ducting
RECIRCULATING APPLICATION
The hood with an internal blower, can be installed in a recirculating application. The air discharge must be a minimum of 40^ (1016) from every side of the hood. Refer to the illustration below.
Ductwork and vent cover are not provided.
A recirculation kit, available through an authorized Wolf dealer, is required.
Recirculating application
Filter Removal
To access the grease filters, pull down the front edge of the bottom panel of the hood and allow it to rotate downward.
To remove the filters, refer to the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not operate the ventilation hood without the grease filters.
Filter removal
Installation Requirements
Install the hood 36" (914) to 84" (2134) from the bottom of the hood to the countertop.
The hood requires a 600 CFM internal or in-line blower assembly, or a 600 CFM or 1200 CFM remote blower assembly, available through an authorized Wolf dealer.
Consult a qualified HVAC professional for specific installation and ducting applications.
Electrical Requirements
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
Locate the electrical supply within the shaded area shown in the illustration below. Allow a minimum 12^ (305) wire (Romex) for connection. A separate circuit servicing only this appliance is required.
