The Thermador UCVM30XS downdraft ventilation system integrates directly into the countertop to maintain clean, unobstructed sightlines in the kitchen. Its telescoping vent rises 15 inches during cooking to capture heat, smoke, steam, and grease-laden air at the source, then retracts seamlessly below the countertop when no longer in use.
Installed directly behind a compatible cooktop, the downdraft vent remains concealed beneath the countertop when not in use. At the touch of a button, the telescoping chimney rises 15 inches to position the intake closer to pots and pans for more effective ventilation.
The downdraft system is designed to work with a compatible Thermador blower, sold separately. Choose from a 600 CFM flexible blower or 600 or 1,000 CFM in-line or remote blowers to customize airflow performance and motor placement for your installation.
Three manual fan speeds provide ventilation for a wide range of cooking styles, while Automatic Mode monitors cooking temperatures and adjusts blower speed as needed to efficiently remove smoke, steam, and odors.
The Powerfully Quiet® ventilation system supports multiple blower configurations, including in-line and remote options that position the motor away from the cooking area. This design helps reduce perceived noise while maintaining powerful ventilation.
With up to six venting configurations, the system can be ducted toward the front, rear, bottom, or either side to accommodate a variety of cabinetry layouts, existing ductwork, and installation requirements for wall or island cooktops.
A 10-minute delay shutoff continues ventilation after cooking is complete to help remove lingering steam and odors. A filter-clean reminder illuminates after 40 hours of operation to simplify routine maintenance.
The removable front filter panel also serves as a splatter shield. Multi-layer grease filters are dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and convenient.
The downdraft system can be configured for either exterior venting or recirculating operation using the optional UCVRECIRC recirculation kit. Recirculating installations are intended for electric or induction cooktops. A separate sealing kit is required when installing with a gas cooktop.
