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.
