UCVP36XS

• Masterpiece® Series design – coordinates with Thermador Masterpiece® cooktops for a cohesive, premium built‑in look in modern kitchens.

• Powerfully Quiet® ventilation system – accepts integral, inline, or remote blowers so you can tailor installation to reduce noise while maintaining strong ventilation performance.

• 36" downdraft ventilation width – sized to pair with most 36" cooktops and ranges for effective coverage across the full cooking surface.

• 18-inch telescopic downdraft rise – ventilation tower rises a full 18" from the countertop to capture heat, smoke, grease, and steam from tall pots and high-output burners.

• Retractable, space-saving design – retracts flush into the countertop when not in use, preserving open sightlines and maximizing workspace.

• 3-stage fan speed settings – three selectable fan speeds let you match airflow to light simmering, everyday cooking, or more intensive searing and frying.

• Automatic Mode fan control – built-in sensor detects cooking temperatures and automatically adjusts fan speed for hands-free ventilation.

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

• LED light bars with multi-level brightness – white LED lighting with two or more intensity levels provides bright, energy-efficient illumination over the cooktop.

• “Light of the party” LED ambiance – vivid LED lighting enhances visibility for cooking while contributing to a modern, upscale kitchen atmosphere.

• Sleek electronic touch control panel – smooth, flat touch controls are easy to operate and wipe clean with a damp cloth, with no protruding knobs.

• Dishwasher-safe grease filters – removable mesh cassette filters can be placed in the dishwasher for quick, thorough cleaning and long-term performance.

• Multilayer cassette filter design – multilayer construction increases grease capture efficiency while maintaining strong airflow through the downdraft.

• Front filter panel with splatter shield – sleek removable front panel helps block splatters and directs rising vapors into the downdraft intake.

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

• Convertible ducted/recirculating operation – can be installed to vent outdoors or, with an optional recirculation kit, filter and return air back into the kitchen.

• Flexible discharge design – multiple discharge configurations (side, front, rear, or down) and several duct diameters help maximize cabinet space and fit challenging layouts.

• Compatible with remote and inline blowers – supports external blower options to move the motor away from the cooking area and further reduce sound levels.

• External motor configuration – motor is located outside the downdraft body, allowing for quieter operation and more flexible installation planning.

• High-performance airflow capability – designed to pair with powerful Thermador remote blowers (sold separately) to handle high-BTU cooktops and heavy-duty cooking.

• Blower sold separately – allows you to choose the appropriate CFM and blower type (integral, inline, or remote) for your specific duct run and cooking style.

• Recirculation kit option – optional charcoal filter kit enables non-vented installation for induction or electric cooktops where exterior ducting is not feasible.

• Charcoal filter compatibility – optional charcoal filters help reduce odors in recirculating installations for fresher indoor air.

• Gas cooktop seal kit requirement – dedicated seal kit (sold separately) is required when pairing with gas cooktops to ensure safe, proper downdraft performance.

• Suitable for wall or island applications – engineered for installation behind cooktops in both wall and island configurations for design flexibility.

• Built-in, flush-mount installation – installs directly into the countertop behind the cooking surface for a clean, integrated appearance.

• Authentic stainless steel finish – brushed stainless steel exterior complements a wide range of premium appliances and resists everyday kitchen wear.

• Wide sones range for high power – higher sones at maximum speed reflect strong airflow capability for demanding cooking tasks.

• Designed for Thermador cooking systems – optimized to work as part of a complete Thermador cooking suite, especially with high-output Masterpiece® cooktops.

• Non-ENERGY STAR configuration – prioritizes strong, responsive ventilation performance over ENERGY STAR certification requirements.
