SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR
GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT
USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR
EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS OR VAPORS.
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
B. Before installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, dis-
connect power cord.
C Installation work and electrical wiring must be done
by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes & standards, including fire-rated construction.
D. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow
the heating equipment manufacturers guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.
E. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
F. Caution — To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
G. WARNING - USE ONLY METAL DUCT WORK.
H. Install this ventilator in accordance with all require-
ments specified by the manufacturer of your cooktop.
I. DO NOT USE THIS VENT WITH ANY SOLID-
STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The complete Universal Cook‘n‘Vent
®
System consists of the ventilator intake and a blower. See
Fig. 1. The blower is either an integral (mounted on the vent
intake in the cabinet under the cooktop) or a remote (roof or
outside wall mounted). When a remote blower is used, a
duct transition is mounted on the ventilator intake in place
of the integral blower to connect the intake to the ductwork.
The duct transition must be purchased separately.
The integral blower or duct transition can be mounted in
different positions on the intake to route ductwork to avoid
cabinet, building framing, utilities, etc. Important: To
allow for cleaning access, locate blower in the position
closest to the duct outlet.
The Universal Cook‘n’Vent® System is available in 30-
inch, 36-inch and 45-inch models, with countertop trim in
either stainless, black, or white. It is intended for use with
any residential 30-inch, 36-inch or 45-inch model (Thermador
or other) gas or electric cooktop. It is not intended to be
used with any professional style cooktop or range.
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Carefully follow the planning procedures listed below. See
Figure 2.
A. Determine whether a remote or integral blower will be
used. Remote blower installation requires 4 wires
plus a ground wire to run from the Cook‘n’Vent
to the blower.
B. Make sure adequate cabinet and counter space has
been provided for unit service if required.
C. Minimize cross drafts created by adjacent open win-
dows, doors, air conditioning, old heating vents, recessed ceiling lights, and traffic patterns which may
affect performance.
D. For gas cooktop installations make sure that a mini-
mum 10 square inch opening is provided in the toekick or other cabinet area. Inadequate ventilation of
the cabinet below the cooktop may result in flame
outage when operating the vent system.
E. Provide "make-up air" to installation location to im-
prove performance and prevent problems, such as
fireplace chimney downdrafts.
F. Investigate potential ductwork routes and choose the
shortest possible route from the unit to an outside wall

or roof. For guidance, typical ducting installations are
shown in figures 3 through 6.
G. Determine whether the chosen route of ducting will
meet vent system performance requirements. To do
this, measure the duct lengths needed and determine
specific fittings required. Enter this data in the spaces
provided in Table 1. The total equivalent length of
duct used must not exceed 85 feet with integral
blower, or 70 feet with remote blower. If the initial
calculation exceeds this limit, replan the installation by reducing the number of fittings, increasing
duct sizes, shortening duct lengths, etc., until this
important requirement is met.
H. Follow the duct installation guidelines in Table 2.
