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.

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 flue. A flue extension is available through an authorized Wolf dealer.

Installation of the cooktop hood should be 24" (610) to 36" (914) from the bottom of the hood to the countertop.

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 find a showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com.

Consult a qualified HVAC professional for specific installation and ducting applications.

Electrical Requirements

Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.

For wall hoods, locate the electrical supply within the shaded area shown in the illustration below. Allow a minimum 12" (305) Romex® wire for connection. For island hoods, locate the electrical supply on the ceiling inside the top of the hood. Allow a minimum 6' (1.8 m) Romex® wire for connection. A separate circuit servicing only this appliance is required.

Ducting

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ducting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a qualified HVAC professional for specific 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 flow. 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 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, 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 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—300 CFM" or "Blower—600 CFM".

Installation

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 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 screws so there is approximately 14 " (6) gap between the screw head and the wall. Position the two mounting brackets for the chimney flue, 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 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.
4 Mount the electrical box to the wall using the screws provided.
5 Insert the power supply from the home and the cord provided into the electrical box.
6 Make electrical connections and install the cover.
7 Insert the plug into the receptacle on the top of the hood.
8 Secure the upper chimney flue to the mounting brackets using the screws provided. Refer to the illustration below. Place the lower chimney flue over the upper, then lower until it rests on the hood.

ISLAND 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 centerline for the location of the four mounting holes using dimensions shown in the illustration below. Use the template provided to mark the mounting support locations, then use a 1¼" drill bit to create a hole for the electrical power supply.
2 Place the four mounting screws into the ceiling, then position the support frame on those screws. Once the support frame is in place, tighten the screws.
3 Determine the desired height of the support frame and adjust the height by removing the four screws. Once the desired height is achieved, reinstall and tighten the screws.
4 Place the damper on the support frame then attach ducting to the damper.
