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.

CHOOSINg THE CORRECT BLOWER

A variety of interior and exterior blower options (Remote, Inline or Integral) 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.

Integral 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.
