INTRODUCTION

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. (see Table

1.)

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.

STEP 1

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 5

wires plus a ground wire to run from the
Cook‘n’Vent

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.

®

to the blower.

E. Provide "make-up air" to installation location to

improve 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.

H. Follow the duct installation guidelines in Table 2.

TABLE 2. DUCT WORK INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.

• Use only duct work constructed of materials that

• Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air
flow efficiency.

are acceptable by the applicable codes. All duct should
be 26 gauge or heavier to minimize flex due to air flow.

• Back to back elbows and "S" turns significantly
reduces air flow and are not recommended.

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

• Transition to round duct as close to the
Cook‘n’Vent® as possible. In order of preference,
use

1st. 10" round duct
2nd. 8" round duct
3rd. 7" round duct
4th. 3-1/4" x 14" duct
5th. 3-1/4" x l0" duct
6th. 6" round duct

• The use of flexible metal round duct should only
be used when no other duct fitting exists. Limit use
to short lengths and do not crush when making
corners.

• Where local codes permit, plastic pipe (PVC­schedule 40 pipe or ABS pipe 7" or 8" diameter) can
be used in areas of high ground moisture and in slab
floors to eliminate future rusting.

• If the VTR1000Q is used, then a 10" diam. round
duct to match the inlet ring is required or a transition
to a 10" diam. is necessary from other duct sizes.

• If the VTR600R is used, then a 8" diam. round duct
to match the inlet ring is required or a transition to a
8" diam. is necessary from other duct sizes.

• Use sheet metal screws as required to support the
duct weight, and seal all joints with duct tape.

• Be certain that the duct work does not interfere
with floor joists or wall studs.

• Do not exhaust more than one vent into a single
duct run.

• Thermal breaks, such as a short section of
nonmetallic duct, should be used in areas of extreme
cold.

• Always use an appropriate roof or wall-cap with
damper. Laundry type wall caps should
used.

STEP 2

PREPARE COUNTERTOP CUTOUT

For installation of the Cook'n'Vent® with a Thermador
cooktop, refer to Part A and Figure 7. For installation
with another brand of cooktop, refer to Part B and
Figure 8.

For all installations, verify cutouts will clear the inside of
the front countertop support rail. (See cutout depth in
Figure 2). The front and rear cutouts must be straight
and parallel to the front edge of countertop and the
rear backsplash or wall. Assure that the side cutouts
are square to the front and rear cutouts. All illustrations
and dimensions are based upon standard 24" deep by
36" high American style base cabinets with 25"
countertops.

When installing laminated or solid surface countertops

such as Surell™ and Corian®, be sure to follow the
countertop manufacturer's instructions regarding mini­mum corner radii, reinforcement of corners, etc.

For overhead cabinet and cooktop side clearances
consult cooktop Installation Instructions.

A. INSTALLATION WITH A

THERMADOR COOKTOP

B. INSTALLATION WITH ANOTHER BRAND OF COOKTOP (Figure 8)

The installer will need to have the cooktop installation
instructions available to complete the installation. All
cooktop dimensions should be verified through measure­ment prior to cutting the countertop:

CCW = Cooktop Cutout Width
CCD = Cooktop Cutout Depth
COW = Cooktop Overall Width

COD = Cooktop Overall Depth
with the above dimensions confirmed, determine the
cutout size as follows:

1 . Find the cutout width, (CW):

If CCW is smaller than the UCV cutout width
then:

2 . Calculate the cutout depth, CD:

Determine the cooktop overhang (CO)
CO = (COD-CCD)/2 (Assumes front and rear
cooktop overhangs are equal) Calculate the cutout
depth, (CD):

CD = COD - CO+1

3 . Determine setback (SB) distance from

front of countertop to front of cutout. SB is

specified in the installation instructions shipped
with the cooktop.

4 . Backsplash thickness must not exceed BT

as calculated below:

BT = 24
(Provides
backsplash.) A negative value for BT means
countertop is too small for the installation.

5 . Verify that the available flat countertop

has a width greater than OW and a depth
greater than OD.
OW depends on the installation:

UCV30: OW equals the greater of COW or 30".
UCV36: OW equals the greater of COW or 36".
UCV45: OW equals the greater of COW or 45".
