Electrical Requirements; Choosing The Correct Blower - Thermador PROFESSIONAL VCIN36JP Manual De Instalación

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
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.
WARNING
The appliance must be grounded.

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.
It is recommended to use only THERMADOR blowers with
THERMADOR ventilation hoods. See the Ventilation
Planning Guide 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- ow exhaust, use a straight run or as few
elbows as possible (refer to "Ductwork Preparation" on
page 6).
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.
