Installation Instructions

Installation Considerations

Clearances and requirements

The wall hood requires the ducting to be vented to the outside. It cannot be used in conjunction with a recirculation unit.

Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or range can vary. To obtain the necessary installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or range, consult the appliance's installation manual.

NOTICE: The hood could incur some damage from heat if a Thermador Professional

series range or rangetop is operated with multiple burners at high settings under a hood that is installed at minimum clearances while the hood is turned off.

Hood Width

The hood width should be no less than the width of the cooking surface. For proper performance, the housing must cover the entire cooking surface.

For proper performance, the hood must be centered horizontally above the cooking surface. Where space is not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase capture area.

Distance From Cooking Surface

The installation height ranges from a minimum height of 30'' (762 mm) to a suggested maximum height of 40'' (1,016 mm); however, it is necessary to follow the cooking appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions for proper hood height.

Unit Weight

This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure and support must be provided in all types of installations. When calculating the load for the housing support system, be

sure to consider the weight of the ventilation unit.

*Follow cooking appliance manufacturer’s recommendations.

Blower Motors

Integral, In-line and Remote blowers are available through your authorized Thermador® dealer. For local dealer information, visit the Find a Dealer section of our website at www.thermador.com.

The blower performance options will vary in cubic feet per minute (CFM) and is dictated by the cooking surface, the volume of air that needs to be moved and the length of the duct run. Refer to the “Blower Motor Installation” section for detailed blower motor information.

Support Structure

Due to the weight of the hood, make sure the wood mounting bracket is attached to all available wall studs.

Framing must be fastened together and to ceiling joists to provide enough structural strength to support the weight of the hood and internal blower, if applicable.

Wall framing should be, at minimum, made of 2"x 4" lumber. Proper structural support is required to accommodate the weight of the hood.

Electrical Requirements

The unit requires a 120V AC, 60Hz. 15A branch circuit. The VTR1330 blower in conjunction with a PHxxGWS requires a 20 amp circuit breaker. The hood should only be connected to a dedicated circuit (with ground) that has been installed according to relevant regulations.

When connected to a GFCI-protected supply, Thermador Professional

hoods are suitable for use in damp locations that are protected from outside weather conditions and not subject to saturation with water and other liquids, but can be subject to moderate degrees of moisture (such as an outdoor covered patio or lanai area). Refer to local codes, NEC/CEC, and or the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for additional information.

Check your local building codes for proper method of installation. In the U.S., this unit should be installed in accordance with applicable local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1-02.

 WARNING

The appliance must be grounded.

NOTE: The 25 ft. Remote and In-line Blower Extension Cable accessory (EXTNCB25W) will only work for distances up to 25 ft. The accessory cable must be purchased separately. DO NOT use more than one Blower Extension Cable per installation.

Electrical Data

Data, including the model and serial number, is located on the product data rating label inside the appliance, visible after removal of the filter frame (see “Product Data Rating Label”).

Page. 10

Ductwork Preparation

Discharge Direction

The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a duct or directly through the outside wall into the open.

Ducting Recommendations

Proper performance is dependent upon proper ducting. Local building codes may require the use of make-up air systems when using ducted ventilation systems greater than specified cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.

DO NOT USE FLEXIBLE DUCT; it creates back pressure/ air turbulence and reduces performance. Always install a metal vent cover where the ductwork exits the house. Hood must be vented to the outside of building only.

COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

MAKE-UP AIR: Local building codes may require the use of make-up air systems when using ducted ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.

To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air in spaces with walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.

The unit cannot be used in conjunction with a recirculation unit.

Thermador recommends not exceeding 50 ft (15.24 m) equivalent of duct.

Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible. Elbows and transitions fittings reduce air flow efficiency. Back to back elbows and “S” turns give very poor delivery and are not recommended.

A short, straight length of duct at the inlet of a remote blower gives the best delivery.

Hoods are supplied with a 10" (254 mm) transition. A locally supplied transition is required for other sizes.

Use the “Equivalent Duct Lengths for Commonly Used Transitions” table to compute permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.

Choosing the Correct Blower

It is recommended to use only Thermador blowers with Thermador ventilation hoods. See the Ventilation Planning Guide for recommended blowers. Contact Customer Service for additional options (see the back page for contact information).

IMPORTANT: Cutting off a connector to the appliance, blower, or to the extension cable kit will void the warranty.

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.

Integral Blowers

These blowers are integrated into the hood at the time of installation.

Remote Blowers

Depending on preference and ducting situation, these blowers can be mounted on the roof or exterior wall of the home. An exterior installation may be more appealing to reduce noise in the kitchen.

In-line Blowers

To minimize noise in the kitchen, these blowers are mounted along the duct line anywhere between the kitchen and the exterior wall. If there is easy access to duct line (in an attic, for example), this may be an appealing option.

25 ft. Remote and In-line Blower Extension Cable

The 25 ft. Remote and In-line Blower Extension Cable (EXTNCB25W) is available to connect the hood to the Inline and Remote Blowers for distances up to 25 ft. Accessory cable must be purchased separately. DO NOT use more than one Blower Connector Cable per installation.

Hood Transition

Discharge Direction

The hood can be mounted on a wall or suspended from a cabinet. Both vertical and horizontal discharge are possible with either mounting method.

Vertical Discharge Transition

The hood is shipped ready for vertical discharge.

The transition supplied with the hood connects to standard 10-inch round duct. The figure shows the transition connected for vertical discharge.

Horizontal Discharge Transition

The transition supplied with the hood connects to standard 10-inch round duct. The figure shows the transition connected for horizontal discharge.

1. To change to horizontal discharge, move the

discharge cover to the top of the hood. Use a 3/8'' nut driver to remove the (4) 3/8'' hex nuts from the plate.

Assembly of the Transition

Hoods are supplied with a 10" (254 mm) round transition. A locally supplied transition is required for other sizes.

The supplied transition mounts to the top or rear of the hood, depending on the discharge direction.

A minimum height clearance of 8-3/8'' (212 mm) is needed above the hood for transition mounting.

2. Depending on direction of discharge, align mounting

holes at base of transition with the mounting holes of the ½'' (13 mm) flange located at the top or rear of the hood.

3. Fasten transition to hood using four (4) 1/4'' (6 mm)

sheet metal screws included with hood.

Note: Screws must not hinder damper operation.

4. Seal connection between transition and hood with aluminum tape. DO NOT use duct tape. Ensure that

the connection is completely sealed.

5. Remove tape holding damper closed.

Wall Mount Installation

Blower Motor Installation

Blower and Circuit Breaker Ratings

9 CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this range hood only with the blowers listed in the Ventilation Planning Guide.

NOTE: Cutting the plug of the blower will void the warranty or eligibility for return or exchange.

All blower models are sold separately. Use only Thermador blowers with these ventilation hoods. See the Ventilation Planning Guide for recommended blowers. Contact Customer Service for additional options.

All hood models are rated for 120V AC installed with a blower listed in the table above, using a 15 amp dedicated circuit breaker. The VTR1330 blower in conjunction with a PHxxGWS requires a 20 amp circuit breaker.

Blower selection will vary based on the volume of air that needs 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 (refer to “Ductwork Preparation”).

Integral Blower Installation

Integral Blower models are integrated into the hood at the time of installation. Integral Blowers should be installed after the hood is mounted to the wall.
