INTRODUCTION
GENERALDESCRIPTION
The complete Universal Cook‘n‘Vent®
System consists of the ventilator intake and a blower. See Fig. 1. The blower is either an integral
(mounted on the vent intake in the cabinet under the cooktop) or a remote (roof or outside wall mounted).
When a remote blower is used, a duct transition 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. (see Table
1.)
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 any residential 30-inch, 36-inch or 45-inch
model (Thermador or other) gas or electric cooktop. It is not intended to be used with any professional
style cooktop or range.

STEP 1
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Carefully follow the planning procedures listed below.
See Figure 2.
A. Determine whether a remote or integral blower will
be used. Remote blower installation requires 5
wires plus a ground wire to run from the
Cook‘n’Vent® to the blower.
E. Provide "make-up air" to installation location to
improve performance and prevent problems, such as
fireplace chimney downdrafts.
F . Investigate potential ductwork routes and choose
the shortest possible route from the unit to an
outside wall or roof. For guidance, typical ducting
installations are shown in figures 3 through 6.
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,
recessed ceiling lights, and traffic patterns which may
affect performance.
G. Determine whether the chosen route of ducting
will meet vent system performance require-
ments. To do this, measure the duct lengths
needed and determine specific fittings required.
Enter this data in the spaces provided in Table 1.
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.
H. Follow the duct installation guidelines in Table 2.

TABLE 2. DUCT WORK INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
•
Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.
• Use only duct work constructed of materials that
are acceptable by the applicable codes. All duct should
be 26 gauge or heavier to minimize flex due to air flow.
•
Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air
flow efficiency.
• If the VTR1000Q is used, then a 10" diam. round
duct to match the inlet ring is required or a transition
to a 10" diam. is necessary from other duct sizes.
• If the VTR600R is used, then a 8" diam. round duct
to match the inlet ring is required or a transition to a
8" diam. is necessary from other duct sizes.
•
Back to back elbows and "S" turns significantly
reduces air flow and are not recommended.
•
A short straight length of duct at the inlet of the
remote blower gives the best delivery.
•
Transition to round duct as close to the

• Do not exhaust more than one vent into a single
duct run.
• Thermal breaks, such as a short section of
nonmetallic duct, should be used in areas of extreme
cold.
•
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.
• Always use an appropriate roof or wall-cap with
damper. Laundry type wall caps should never be
used.
•
Where local codes permit, plastic pipe (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.
STEP 2
such as Surell™ and Corian®, be sure to follow the
countertop manufacturer's instructions regarding mini-
mum corner radii, reinforcement of corners, etc.
PREPARE COUNTERTOP CUTOUT
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.
For overhead cabinet and cooktop side clearances
consult cooktop Installation Instructions.

INSTALLATION WITH A
THERMADOR COOKTOP
(FIGURE 7 AND TABLE 3)
For all installations, verify cutouts will clear the inside of
the front countertop support rail. (See cutout depth in
Figure 2). The front and rear cutouts must be straight
and parallel to the front edge of countertop and the
rear backsplash or wall. Assure that the side cutouts
are square to the front and rear cutouts. All illustrations
and dimensions are based upon standard 24" deep by
36" high American style base cabinets with 25"
countertops.
Provide an opening in the countertop as specified in
Table 3. Make sure the distance from the front of the
countertop to the front of the cutout is not less than
dimension "SB." Verify that the available flat countertop
is greater than dimensions "OW" by "OD." Make
certain the backsplash thickness does not exceed
dimension "BT".

inside the intake.
A. Install the ductwork and remote blower (if used) in
accordance with the ductwork routing plan devel-
oped in Step 1.
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.
B. Make sure that the installation complies with all
installation 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
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.
Refer to Figure 1. Fasten support legs to cabinet
floor.

VTR1000Q, refer to Installation Instructions with
that model.
D. Place the cooktop in countertop opening with the
rear edge of cooktop overlapping the front edge of
the vent. Make sure rear edge of cooktop does
not bind against front of snorkel. Follow the
manufacturer's installation instructions for installing
the cooktop.
STEP 5
INSTALL ELECTRICAL SERVICE
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).
This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply
cord having a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized
parallel 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
appliance and away from heat generated by the cooktop.
Access should not be obstructed by blower, cabinet work,
ductwork or electrical/gas utilities for the cooktop. All
power for the vent system (including the remote blower,
if used) is supplied via the cord to the intake unit. The
outlet must have its own dedicated branch circuit from
the main service panel.
Do not plug vent cord into receptacle until Step 8.
