IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY WARNING: Before ser­vicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at the service panel and
lock service disconnecting means to
prevent power from being switched
on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be
locked, attach a tag to the service
panel to indicate power has been
switched off for maintenance.

WARNING - TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PER­SONS, OBSERVE THE FOL­LOWING:

A. Installation work and electrical wir-

ing must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes & standards, in­cluding fire-rated construction.

B. Sufficient air is needed for proper

combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. 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 En-

gineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.

C. When cutting or drilling into wall or

ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.

D. To properly exhaust air, be sure to

duct air out side. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls,
ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or ga­rages.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, use only metal ductwork.

CAUTION - For General Ventilat­ing Use Only. Do Not Use To
Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive
Materials And Vapors.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Recommended for use only over conventional domestic gas and electric ranges, and

use with an approved Thermador Hood.

I. INSTALLATION:

1. Remove and discard shipping bracket (attached to mo­tor mounts and inlet collar). Check to see if blower
wheel turns freely. Do not replace top until installation
is complete.

2. Provide a square cutout through the roof (or wall) as
shown by the dashed lines, or cut a round hole to fit duct
with a separate hole for electrical conduit as shown by
solid lines in Fig. 1.

3. Install the remote ventilator with the discharge pointing
down slope as shown in Figures 3 and 4. Follow standard
roofing procedures. Install the ventilator so the dis­charge edge is on top of the shingles and the rear edge
is underneath the shingles.

NOTE: The unit must be sealed between the roof (or
wall) and the underside of the flange with roofing mastic
to prevent leaks. For installation on a flat roof, or roofs
with a pitch less than 1-1/2" in 12", install ventilator on
the curb as shown in Fig. 2. Position the curb on flat roofs
so that the discharge (low) end points away from
prevailing wind.

3. Connect ventilator to the exhaust system with 8 inch
dia. duct for VTR600R and 10" dia. duct for VTR1000Q
and VTR1400Q. Use adjustable elbow to adjust to roof
angle. Tape all joints to prevent air leaks.

4. Connect ducting in the inlet to the ventilator with duct
tape.

5. Clearance to combustible material is 0".

II. FOR WIRING TO ALL APPROVED

KITCHEN VENTILATION TIPS

6. WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. Cooking Appliances such as Ranges, Cooktops, Barbe­cue Units, Grills, etc., require adequate ventilation. Hood
should be large enough and Cooking Appliances located
so that the Hood overhangs the Cooking Surface as much
as possible.

2. Consult a Competent Kitchen Designer or Ventilation
Engineer for proper Hood size and C.F.M. requirements.

3. Provide make-up air input to the kitchen so exhausted air
is not drawn through furnace unit or down fireplace
chimney.

4. Locate the Cooking Area for minimum cross drafts, away
from doors and windows, etc., when possible.

5. For best performance duct runs should be as short and
as straight as possible. Where turns are necessary, keep
turning radius as large and as smooth as possible.

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high set-

tings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when cooking flaming foods.

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appro-

priate for the size of the surface element.
