Thermador VCIN36JP Installation Instructions - Page 12

Electrical Requirements The unit requires a 120V AC, 60Hz. 15A branch circuit. The hood should only be connected to a grounded socket that has been installed according to relevant regulations. If possible, place the grounded socket directly behind the chimney paneling. Attach the grounded socket as close to the appliance as possible and in an accessible location. • The grounded socket should be connected to its own circuit. • If the grounded socket is no longer accessible following installation of the hood, make sure that an electrical switch is permanently installed for turning off the appliance. When connected to a GFCI-protected supply, THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL® custom insert 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 (such as an outdoor covered patio or lanai area). Refer to local codes, NEC/CEC, and or the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for additional information. Check your local building codes for proper method of installation. In the U.S., if there are no applicable local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, Current Issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1- B149.1 and .2 - Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes. The appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a wire that allows the electric current to escape. This appliance has a cord with a ground wire and grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. WARNING: The appliance must be grounded. Choosing the Correct Blower A variety of interior and exterior blower options (Remote, Inline or Integral) are available for THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL® custom insert series hoods. If the unit you have selected does not have a blower included, one must be purchased separately. Use only THERMADOR® blowers with THERMADOR ventilation hoods. See Table 5: Blower & Circuit Breaker Ratings on page 11, for recommended blowers. Contact Customer Service for additional options (see the back page for contact information). 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-Àow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible (refer to "Ductwork Preparation" on page 7). For indoor grill installations, THERMADOR recommends a minimum of 36" (914 mm) clearance to the bottom of the ventilation unit and Remote or Inline blowers only. Integral Blowers These blowers are integrated into the hood at the time of installation (included with the VCIB model units). Remote Blowers Depending on preference and ducting situation, these blowers can be mounted on the roof or exterior wall of the home. An exterior installation may be more appealing to reduce noise in the kitchen. Inline Blowers To minimize noise in the kitchen, these blowers are mounted along the duct line anywhere between the kitchen and the exterior wall. If there is easy access to duct line (in an attic, for example), this may be an appealing option. Electrical Data: Data, including the model and serial number, is located on the product data rating plate inside the appliance, visible after removal of the filter frame (see Figure 40 on page 29).
