Installation Preparation

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.

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.

30” – 40” (762 – 1,016 mm)

to Countertop

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.

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.

Model	Weight
VCIN36JP	60 lb (27.22 kg)
VCIN48JP	73 lb (33.11 kg)
VCIN54JP	82 lb (37.20 kg)
VCIB36JP	96 lb (43.54 kg)
VCIB48JP	111 lb (50.35 kg)
VCIB54JP	122 lb (55.34 kg)
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 3: Unit Weight with Blowers

English 6

Ductwork Preparation

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 use metal ductwork with a minimum diameter of 6” (150 mm).

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.

If using a 10" (254 mm) duct, THERMADOR® recommends not exceeding 150 ft (46 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.

Transitions, elbows and wall or roof caps are all factors that will add more static pressure, therefore increasing your equivalent duct run. For example, assume you have 30 ft (9.2 m) of straight 10" (254 mm) duct with two 90° elbows and an outside wall cap. To calculate the equivalent straight duct run pressure, you would add 12 ft (12.7 m) for each elbow, and 5 ft (1.5 m) for the outside wall cap, increasing your equivalent total run from 30 to 59 ft (9.1 to 17.9 m).

Use Table 4 on page 8 to compute permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.

NOTE:

Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths.

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 40 on page 29).

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.

Use only THERMADOR® blowers with THERMADOR ventilation hoods. See Table 5: Blower & Circuit Breaker Ratings on page 11, 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 7).

For indoor grill installations, THERMADOR recommends a minimum of 36" (914 mm) clearance to the bottom of the ventilation unit and Remote or Inline blowers only.

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.
