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.
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.
Figure 1: Typical Hood Installation

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

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.
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.
WARNING:
The appliance must be grounded.
