Installation Preparation
Installation Considerations
The custom insert unit is designed for installation inside a custom-built hood assembly. It is for ducting 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.

Figure 1: Typical Hood Installation
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.
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.
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 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
When calculating the load for the housing support system, be sure to consider the weight of the ventilation unit.

IMPORTANT:
The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit and blower. Installer must account for weight of any materials of construction when calculating the total dead weight load of installation, including but not limited to: wall, tile, mortar, plaster, brick, finishes, partitions, and other similarly incorporated architectural and structural items. It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.
Table 2: Unit Weight with Blowers
English 5
Blower Motors
VCIN models are shipped without the blower motor. Internal, 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 will vary in size 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 “Blower Motor Installation” on page 10 for detailed blower motor information.
Backsplash
Optional stainless steel backsplashes are available for purchase in widths to match all custom insert hoods through your authorized THERMADOR® dealer. For local dealer information, visit the Find a Dealer section of our website at www.thermador.com.
Ductwork Preparation
Discharge Direction
The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a duct.
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 speci¿ed cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air movement. The speci¿ed 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.
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.
For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house, into the garage or into any enclosed space). The unit cannot be used in conjunction with a recirculation unit.
THERMADOR® recommends not exceeding 50 ft (15.24 m) 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) round transition. A locally supplied transition is required for other sizes.
Use Table 3 on page 7 to compute permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.

Electrical Requirements
The unit requires a 120V AC, 60Hz. 15A branch circuit.
The hood should only be connected to a grounded socket that has been installed according to relevant regulations. If possible, place the grounded socket directly behind the chimney paneling. Attach the grounded socket as close to the appliance as possible and in an accessible location.
•The grounded socket should be connected to its own circuit.
•If the grounded socket is no longer accessible following installation of the hood, make sure that an electrical switch is permanently installed for turning off the appliance.
When connected to a GFCI-protected supply, THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL® custom insert 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., if there are no applicable local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, Current Issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1- B149.1 and .2 - Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes.
The appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a wire that allows the electric current to escape. This appliance has a cord with a ground wire and grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING
The appliance must be grounded.
Electrical Data
Data, including the model and serial number, is located on the product data rating plate inside the appliance, visible after removal of the filter frame (see Figure 39 on page 23).
Choosing the Correct
Blower
A variety of interior and exterior blower options (Remote, Inline or Integral) are available for THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL® Custom Insert series hoods. If the unit you have selected does not have a blower included, one must be purchased separately.
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).
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-Àow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible (refer to “Ductwork Preparation” on page 6).
Integral Blowers
These blowers are integrated into the hood at the time of installation (included with the VCIB model units).
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.
Inline 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.
