Thermador

UCVM36XS

• Powerfully Quiet® ventilation system – accepts integral, inline, or remote blowers to tailor installation and keep operation ultra‑quiet so ventilation is heard less while cooking.

• Masterpiece® design coordination – matches Thermador Masterpiece cooktops and ovens for a cohesive, premium built‑in kitchen aesthetic.

• 15-inch telescopic downdraft design – rises 15" from the countertop to capture heat, smoke, grease, and steam, then retracts completely for an unobstructed view when not in use.

• Blends seamlessly into countertop – low-profile design hides inside the cabinet, preserving open sightlines and a clean, minimalist look in island or wall installations.

• Sleek electronic touch control panel – smooth, glass-like touch controls provide precise operation and are easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth.

• 3 fan speed settings – offers multiple ventilation levels so you can match airflow to light simmering, everyday cooking, or high-heat searing.

• Automatic Mode fan adjustment – detects cooking conditions and automatically adjusts fan speed to help maintain effective ventilation without constant manual changes.

• Delay Shut Off function – keeps the fan running for about 10 minutes after cooking ends to clear lingering smoke and odors from the kitchen.

• Powerful performance at low noise – engineered for efficient capture of cooking byproducts while maintaining low sone ratings at lower speeds for quieter operation.

• Flexible discharge configuration – allows multiple ducting options (side, front, or rear) to adapt to different cabinet layouts and maximize under‑counter space.

• Convertible ducting / recirculation capability – can be installed as ducted to the outside or, with an optional recirculation kit, used in recirculating mode for homes where exterior venting is not feasible.

• Compatible with integral, inline, or remote blowers – supports various blower types (sold separately) so you can choose the right combination of power, placement, and sound level.

• Dishwasher-safe grease mesh filters – multi-layer aluminum cassette filters remove easily and can be cleaned in the dishwasher for simple maintenance.

• Easy-to-remove front filter panel – front panel comes off quickly for access to filters and also acts as a splatter shield to help protect interior components.

• Clean filter reminder indicator – check-filter light illuminates after a set number of operating hours to remind you when it’s time to clean the grease filters.

• Stainless steel construction – durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel finish complements modern appliances and stands up to everyday cooking.

• Designed for Thermador cooktop pairing – sized and styled to integrate with Thermador gas, electric, or induction cooktops for an optimized cooking and ventilation system.

• Suitable for wall or island installations – versatile design supports placement behind cooktops on perimeter counters or kitchen islands.

• Space-saving under-cabinet design – installs within base cabinetry, freeing overhead space for open shelving, lighting, or architectural features instead of a traditional hood.

• Optional recirculation kit for non-vented setups – accessory kit (sold separately) allows filtered air to be returned to the room when exterior ducting is not available, recommended for induction or electric cooktops.

• Optional charcoal filters for recirculation – replacement charcoal filters (sold separately) help reduce odors when the unit is used in recirculating mode.

• Gas cooktop seal kit compatibility – optional gas cooktop seal kit (sold separately) enables safe, effective use with certain gas cooktops when required by installation conditions.

• Cassette-style aluminum frame filters – robust cassette design with aluminum frame provides reliable grease capture and long-term durability.

• No overhead lighting required – downdraft configuration eliminates the need for a bulky overhead hood and integrated lights, ideal for kitchens using separate ceiling or task lighting.

• ADA-friendly potential when properly planned – touch controls at counter level can be easier to reach than overhead hoods when installed to appropriate accessibility guidelines.

• Compact overall depth – slim 2 3/4" body depth (excluding internal ducting and blower) helps fit into standard base cabinets with thoughtful planning.

• Helps protect cabinetry and surfaces – effective capture of steam and grease reduces buildup on nearby cabinets, walls, and countertops, helping maintain finishes over time.

• Improves indoor air quality while cooking – removes airborne grease particles, smoke, and odors from the cooking area to create a more comfortable kitchen environment.
