Thermador PH54 - Manual (Page 6)

The hood installation height is the user’s prefer-
ence. Figure 2 shows a typical installation of the
hood with a duct cover. Accessory 6” and/or 12” duct
covers are used to fill the space between the hood
and ceiling.
The installation height shown in Figure 2 is 36". One
6" duct cover has been used in this installation.
Add or subtract duct covers as appropriate to
accommodate ceiling height and desired hood
height. The duct cover structure is supported by the
hood.
1.
After the hood installation height has been
determined, draw a horizontal line at a distance
above the cooktop equal to the desired hood
installation height plus 15-1/2”. This line is the
mounting location of the wooden bracket
shipped with the hood.
2. Find the centerline of the cooktop. Draw a
vertical line along this centerline up to the
horizontal line drawn in step 1.
3. The hood is mounted to the wall using a wooden
bracket shipped with the hood. Remove the
bracket from the hood by removing two shipping
screws. Mark the center line of the bracket.
4. Locate one stud on either side of the cooktop
centerline to use for mounting the wooden
bracket as shown in Figure 3.
5. Align the top of the wood bracket along the
horizontal line drawn in Step 1. Align the
centerlines of the bracket and cooktop.
6. Drill a 3” deep 1/8" tap hole through the wooden
bracket, drywall, and into the stud.
7. Use 2 or 3 (#14 x 3”) screws to attach the
bracket to the wall as shown in Figure 3. For
support of longer hoods, use three studs.
Countersink the heads to prevent interference
with the hood.
8. On the wood bracket mark the locations used to
hang the hood according to Figure 4 (next page).
9. Drill a 1/8" tap hole through the wooden bracket
and drywall. These (#8 x 5/8") screws do not
need to go into the studs.
10. Drill a 1/16" tap hole for the 2 (#8 x 5/8") screws
into the wood bracket leaving 1/4" of each screw
exposed for hanging the hood.
