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.
