This manual provides the proper installation instructions for
two styles of Thermador, PH Series Professional® Wall
Hoods:
* Five 27”-depth models, with widths of 30”, 36”, 42”, 48”,
and 54”. This model series features brushed stainiess-
steel canopy with halogen lamps and heat lamps.
* Three 24’-depth models, with widths of 30”, 36”, and
48”. This model series features brushed stainless-steel
canopy with halogen lamps.
All hoods require the choice of an Integral Blower
(VTN630C and VTN1030C), Inline Blowers (VTI610D and
VTI1010D), or a Remote Blower (VTR630D, VTR1030D,
and VTR1330E). All blower models are sold separately.
All Hood models are rated for 120 VAC, using a 30 Amp

(, Important Safety Instructions (Continued)
If required by the National Electrical Code (or Canadian
Electrical Code), this appliance must be installed on a
separate branch circuit.
Installer — show the owner the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance.
Destroy the packaging after unpacking the appliance.
Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Never modify or alter the construction of the appliance. For
example, do not remove, panels, wire covers or anti-tip
brackets/screws.
Grounding Instructions:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections
and grounding must comply with all applicable codes.
WARNING:
Improper grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an
extension cord. If the power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install an outlet near
the appliance.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this
fan with any solid-state speed control devices.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
AND INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
This ventilator assembly must be installed with blower
models VIN630C, VTN1030C, VTR630D, VTR1030D,
VTR1330E, VTI610D, or VTI1010D. Other ventilator
blowers cannot be substituted.

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer (Thermador Customer Service at
800-735-4328).
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at
service panel and lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
4. 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 manufacturer's 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
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
N To properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings,
attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
8. Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
WARNING:
Lamp holder might be hot. Disconnect from
power before servicing.
CAUTION:
For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or
vapors.

For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight
run or as few elbows as possible.
Do not use flex ducting.
COLD WEATHER installations should have an
additional backdraft damper installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and a non-metallic 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.
Hood installation height above a cooktop or range can
vary. To obtain the necessary installation height above
a Thermador Professional Cooktop or Range, consult
the appliance's installation manual.
* For indoor grill installations, Thermador
recommends a minimum of 36" clearance and
remote and inline blowers only (VTR630D,
VTR1030D, VTR1330E, VTI610D, or
VTI1010D).
Remote blowers require a five wire installation.
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. Consult
your HVAC professional for specific requirements in
your area.
Refer to Remote Control Installation Instructions if
applicable.

Wall Mount Installation
Figure 3 shows a typical installation of the hood with a duct
cover. Accessory 6” and/or 12” duct covers are used to fill
the space between the hood and ceiling.
The installation height shown in Figure 3 is 36"; however, it
is necessary to follow the cooking appliance
manufacturer’s installation instructions for proper hood
height. One 6" duct cover has been used in this installation.
Add or subtract duct covers as appropriate to
accommodate ceiling height and recommended hood
height. The duct cover structure is supported by the hood.
NOTICE:
The hood could incur some damage from heat if a
Professional Series Range or Cooktop is operated with
multiple burners at high settings under a hood that is
installed at minimum clearances.

1. After the hood installation height has been determined,
draw a horizontal line at a distance above the cooktop
equal to the recommended hood installation height
plus 15-1/2”. This line is the mounting location of the
wooden bracket shipped with the hocd.
2. Find the centerline of the cooktop. Draw a vertical line
along this centerline up to the horizontal line drawn in
Step 1.
3. The hood is mounted to the wall using a wooden
bracket shipped with the hood. Remove the bracket
from the hood by removing two shipping screws. Mark
the center line of the bracket.
4. Locate one stud on either side of the cooktop
centerline to use for mounting the wooden bracket as
shown in Figure 4.

Cabinet Installation
The hood can be installed under a cabinet by supporting
the hood from the top.
Note:
The cabinet must be structurally joined to the wall studs to
support the weight of this hood.
Figure 11 shows the four (4) screw holes labeled “K” used
for mounting the hood to the bottom of the cabinet.
Make sure both knockouts have been removed.
Note:
This figure depicts
tap hole and screw
hole locations only.
See Figure 2 on
page 4, for overall
hood dimensions.
Figure 11: Tap Hole and Screw Hole Locations
1. In the base of the cabinet, drill 1/8" tap holes (See
Dimension A in Figure 11 and in Table). Screw in
four (4) #10 x 1" screws (provided with hood) leaving
1/4" exposed.
2. Ifthe hood is installed for vertical discharge, use
Figure 12 to create clearance holes for passage of the
transition and conduit (See Dimension B in Figure 12
and in the Table.)
