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.

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 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.
