DOWNDRAFT

FEATURES & BENEFITS

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

Full-face filters combine a filter with a splatter shield in one easy- to-remove, dishwasher-safe element. These filters 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 flow 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.

With a sleek and modern design, this wine storage unit perfectly blends into any kitchen or entertainment area, providing both functionality and style.

One of the standout features of the UCVM36FS is its capacity to hold up to 36 standard wine bottles. This makes it an ideal choice for wine collectors and social hosts alike, allowing users to store a diverse collection of their favorite vintages. The adjustable shelves are crafted from natural wood, which not only adds a touch of elegance but also helps to cradle bottles and reduce vibration, a key aspect of wine preservation.

It offers precise temperature settings, ranging from 4°C to 18°C (39°F to 65°F), ensuring that each type of wine can be stored at its ideal temperature. The dual-zone temperature management technology allows for separate settings for red and white wines, ensuring optimal conditions for both.

Another innovative technology featured in the Thermador UCVM36FS is its advanced cooling system.

Additionally, an efficient filtration system protects the wine from external odors and flavors, thus preserving its original taste and quality.

The UCVM36FS also incorporates a no-vibration design. Vibration can disturb sediments in wine, affecting flavor and quality; therefore, Thermador has engineered this model to operate with minimal vibrations. Furthermore, the energy-efficient LED lighting illuminates the interior without generating excess heat, allowing for easy viewing and selection of wines while remaining energy conscious.

A key characteristic of the Thermador UCVM36FS is its customizable design. The unit features a stainless-steel door with a glass panel, offering an elegant display of your wine collection while ensuring UV protection, which shields wines from harmful light exposure.
