PLEASE READ ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING.
IMPORTANT: Save these instructions for the local electrical inspector's use.
INSTALLER: Please leave these Installation Instructions with this unit for the owner.
OWNER: Please retain these instructions for future reference.
SAFETY WARNING: Disconnect power by removing plug from receptacle before installing or
servicing this unit.
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow
the heating equipment manufacturers guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the Na-
tional Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.
E. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
F. Caution — To reduce risk of fire and 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.
G. WARNING - USE ONLY METAL DUCT WORK.
H. Install this ventilator in accordance with all require-
ments specified by the manufacturer of your cooktop.
I. DO NOT USE THIS VENT WITH ANY SOLID-
STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Carefully follow the planning procedures listed below. See
Figure 2.
A. Determinewhetheraremoteorintegralblowerwillbe
used. Remote blower installation requires 4 wires
plus a ground wire to run from the Cook‘n’Vent®
to the blower.
B. Make sure adequate cabinet and counter space has
been provided for unit service if required.
C. Minimize cross drafts created by adjacent open win-
dows, doors, air conditioning, old heating vents, re-
cessed ceiling lights, and traffic patterns which may
affect performance.
D. For gas cooktop installations make sure that a mini-
mum 10 square inch opening is provided in the toe-
kick or other cabinet area. Inadequate ventilation of
the cabinet below the cooktop may result in flame
outage when operating the vent system.
E. Provide "make-up air" to installation location to im-
prove performance and prevent problems, such as
fireplace chimney downdrafts.
F. Investigate potential ductwork routes and choose the
shortestpossibleroute fromthe unitto anoutsidewall
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The complete Universal Cook‘n‘Vent®
Systemconsists of the ventilator intake and a blower. See
Fig.1. Thebloweriseitheranintegral(mountedonthevent
intakeinthe cabinetunder thecooktop) oraremote(roofor
outside wall mounted). When a remote blower is used, a
ducttransition is mounted on the ventilator intake in place
of the integral blower to connect the intake to the ductwork.
The duct transition must be purchased separately.
The integral blower or duct transition can be mounted in
different positions on the intake to route ductwork to avoid
cabinet, building framing, utilities, etc. Important: To
allow for cleaning access, locate blower in the position
closest to the duct outlet.
The Universal Cook‘n’Vent® System is available in 30-
inch, 36-inch and 45-inch models, with countertop trim in
either stainless, black, or white. It is intended for use with
anyresidential30-inch,36-inchor45-inchmodel(Thermador
or other) gas or electric cooktop. It is not intended to be
used with any professional style cooktop or range.

Page 3
orroof.Forguidance,typicalductinginstallationsare
shown in figures 3 through 6.
G. Determine whether the chosen route of ducting will
meet vent system performance requirements. To do
this, measure the duct lengths needed and determine
specific fittings required. Enter this data in the spaces
provided in Table 1. The total equivalent length of
duct used must not exceed 85 feet with integral
blower,or70feet with remote blower. Iftheinitial
calculation exceeds this limit, replan the installa-
tion by reducing the number of fittings, increasing
duct sizes, shortening duct lengths, etc., until this
important requirement is met.
H. Follow the duct installation guidelines in Table 2.

TABLE 2. DUCT WORK INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.
• Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air flow
efficiency.
• Back to back elbows and "S" turns significantly re-
duces air flow and are not recommended.
• Ashort straightlengthofductattheinletoftheremote
blower gives the best delivery.
• TransitiontoroundductasclosetotheCook‘n’Vent®
as possible. In order of preference, use
1st. 10" round duct
2nd. 8" round duct
3rd. 7" round duct
4th. 3-1/4" x 14" duct
5th. 3-1/4" x l0" duct
6th. 6" round duct
• The use of flexible metal round duct should only be
used when no other duct fitting exists. Limit use to
short lengths and do not crush when making corners.
• Wherelocalcodespermit,plasticpipe(PVC-schedule
40 pipe or ABS pipe 7" or 8" diameter) can be used in
areas of high ground moisture and in slab floors to
eliminate future rusting.
• Use only duct work constructed of materials that are
acceptableby the applicable codes. All duct should be
26 gauge or heavier to minimize flex due to air flow.
• Theremote blower requires a 10" diameter round duct
tomatchthe inletring, soa transitiontoa10"diameter
is necessary from other duct sizes.
• Use sheet metal screws as required to support the duct
weight, and seal all joints with duct tape.
• Be certain that the duct work does not interfere with
floor joists or wall studs.
• Do not exhaust more than one vent into a single duct
run.
• Thermalbreaks, such as ashortsectionof nonmetallic
duct, should be used in areas of extreme cold.
• Always use an appropriate roof or wall-cap with
damper.Laundry type wallcapsshould never beused.
For installation of the Cook'n'Vent®with a Thermador
cooktop, refer to Part A and Figure 7. For installation with
another brand of cooktop, refer to Part B and Figure 8.

The installer will need to have the cooktop installation
instructions available to complete the installation. All
cooktop dimensions should be verified through measure-
ment prior to cutting the countertop:
CCW = Cooktop Cutout Width
CCD = Cooktop Cutout Depth
COW = Cooktop Overall Width
COD = Cooktop Overall Depth
with the above dimensions confirmed, determine the cut-
out size as follows:
1. Find the cutout width, (CW):

(CD): CD = COD - CO+1

MOUNT VENT & COOKTOP
A. Removegreasefilters and any packing materials from
inside the intake.
B. Set the vent intake into rear of countertop opening.
Carefully lower it into position so that the flanges on
the rear sides and edges fully support the unit hanging
from the countertop.
C Loosely fasten lower support legs to vent. Hold the
unit against the rear of the countertop opening, and,
with it in vertical position, slide the brackets down to
meet the bottom of cabinet and fasten to cabinet with
hardware provided. Then tighten brackets on vent.
Referto Figure1. Fasten supportlegsto cabinetfloor.
D. Place the cooktop in countertop opening with the rear
edgeofcooktopoverlappingthefrontedgeofthevent.
Make sure rear edge of cooktop does not bind
against front of snorkel. Follow the manufacturer's
installation instructions for installing the cooktop.
STEP 4
INSTALL DUCTWORK
(REMOTE BLOWER - if used)
A. Install the ductwork and remote blower (if used) in
accordance with the ductwork routing plan developed
in Step 1.
B. Makesurethattheinstallationcomplieswithallinstal-
lation guidelines in Table 2. Check the opening where
ducting passes through the outside wall or roof has
been properly flashed and sealed to prevent leakage.
C. If using integral blower model VTN600CVR proceed
to Step 5.
D. IfusingremoteblowermodelVTR600RorVTR1000Q,
refer to Installation Instructions with that model.
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.
(InCanada,installationmustbeinaccordancewiththeCAN
1-B149.1and.2-InstallationCodesforGasBurningAppli-
ances and/ or local codes).
Thisapplianceisfactoryequippedwithapowersupplycord
having a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized paral-
lel blades). IT MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A MATING
GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE, CONNECTED TO
A CORRECTLY POLARIZED 120 VOLT CIRCUIT.
The receptacle should be located under the countertop so
that the 30 inch long power cord from the vent will reach it.
See Figure 9. The cord should be routed beneath the appli-
ance and away from heat generated by the cooktop. Access
shouldnotbeobstructedbyblower,cabinetwork,ductwork
or electrical/gas utilities for the cooktop. All power for the
vent system (including the remote blower, if used) is sup-
plied via the cord to the intake unit. The outlet can usually
be extended from another kitchen outlet or have its own
circuit from the main service panel.
Do not plug vent cord into receptacle until Step 8.
