ELECTRICAL

SPECIFICATIONS

Be

sure

your

Thermador

Hood

is

properly

and

grounded

Installation,

electrical

FULL

13

-INCH

RISE

With

an

over

13

-inch

intake,

the

UCVM

rises

well

above

even

the

tallest

pans.

This

protects

against

splatters

when

cooking

and

provides

better

performance

in

capturing

steam

and

smoke

—even

from

the

front

burners.

DOWNDRAFT

RECIRCULATION

OPTION

Downdraft

recirculation

is

now

available

for

island

or

wall

applications.

Combine

the

performance

of

the

UCVM

Downdraft

with

the

odor-

and

grease

-capturing

filters

in

the

Recirculation

Module

for

the

perfect

ventilation

combination

for

anywhere

in

your

kitchen.

Full

-face

filters

combine

a

filter

with

a

splatter

shield

in

one

easy

-

to

-remove,

dishwasher

-safe

element.

These

fi

lters

maximize

grease

capture

without

affecting

airflow.

INSTALLATION

CONSIDERATIONS

The

information

in

this

design

guide

provides

key

features,

product

dimensions,

cutouts

and

installation

specifications.

Before

installing

a

Thermador

Downdraft

Hood,

be

sure

to

verify

the

cutout

dimensions

and

electrical

connections.

Also,

always

consult

with

the

installation

manual

packed

with

the

product

for

complete

details

before

installing.

Thermador

Downdraft

Hoods

may

be

installed

in

a

wall

or

island

behind

a

Thermador

non-professional

gas,

electric

or

induction

cooktop

to

create

a

convenient

cooking

center.

Refer

to

the

appropriate

section

for

additional

specifications.

HOOD

WIDTH

Downdraft

ventilation

units

should

be

the

same

width

as

the

cooking

surfaces

they

are

ventilating.

CHOOSING

THE

CORRECT

BLOWER

A

variety

of

interior

and

exterior

blower

options

(Remote,

Inline

or

Integrated)

are

available

for

Thermador's

Downdraft

Hoods.

If

the

unit

you

have

selected

does

not

have

a

blower,

one

can

be

purchased

separately.

Blower

selection

will

vary

based

on

the

volume

of

air

that

needs

to

be

moved

and

the

length

and

location

of

the

duct

run.

For

long

duct

runs

with

multiple

turns

and

bends,

consider

using

a

more

powerful

blower.

For

the

most

efficient

air

fl

ow

exhaust,

use

a

straight

run

or

as

few

elbows

as

possible.

Remote

Blowers

(VTR

Series)

Depending

on

your

preference

and

ducting

situation,

these

blowers

can

be

mounted

on

the

roof

or

exterior

wall

of

your

home.

An

exterior

installation

may

be

more

appealing

to

reduce

noise

in

the

kitchen.

Inline

Blowers

(VTI

series)

To

minimize

noise

in

the

kitchen,

these

blowers

are

mounted

along

the

duct

line

anywhere

between

the

kitchen

and

the

exterior

wall.

If

you

have

easy

access

to

your

duct

line

(in

an

attic,

for

example),

this

may

be

an

appealing

option.

Integrated

Blowers

(VTN

series)

These

blowers

are

purchased

separately

and

integrated

into

the

hood

or

onto

the

downdraft

unit

at

the

time

of

installation.

This

option

allows

you

to

select

your

ideal

hood

with

the

exact

power

you

require.
