The Thermador UCVM30XS downdraft ventilation system integrates directly into the countertop to preserve clean, unobstructed sightlines in the kitchen. Its telescoping vent rises 15 inches during cooking to capture heat, smoke, steam, and airborne grease at the source, then retracts seamlessly below the countertop when no longer in use.
Integrated telescoping design
Installed behind a compatible cooktop, the downdraft vent remains concealed beneath the countertop when not in use. At the touch of a button, the telescoping vent rises 15 inches to position the intake closer to pots and pans for more effective capture of smoke, steam, and cooking vapors.
Customizable ventilation
The system is designed to pair 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 ventilation performance and motor placement to suit your installation.
Three fan speeds with Automatic Mode
Three manual fan speeds let you match ventilation performance to your cooking needs. Automatic Mode monitors cooking temperatures and adjusts blower speed automatically to efficiently capture smoke, steam, and odors without constant adjustments.
Powerfully Quiet® system
The Powerfully Quiet® system supports multiple blower configurations, including in-line and remote models that position the motor away from the cooking area. This flexible design helps reduce perceived noise while maintaining powerful ventilation.
Flexible venting options
With up to six venting configurations, the system can be ducted toward the front, rear, bottom, or either side to accommodate a wide range of cabinetry layouts, existing ductwork, and installation requirements for wall or island applications.
Delay shutoff and maintenance reminder
A 10-minute delay shutoff continues ventilating after cooking is complete to help remove lingering steam and cooking odors. A filter-clean reminder illuminates after 40 hours of operation to simplify routine maintenance.
Easy-to-clean filters
The removable front filter panel also serves as a splatter shield. Multi-layer grease filters are dishwasher safe, making routine cleaning quick and convenient.
Ducted or recirculating installation
The downdraft system can be configured for either exterior venting or recirculating operation with 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.
