Default Use of Flaps in the Pattern

For an ASW20:

Thermal flap on downwind.

Landing flap on final.



What does the manual recommend for your glider?

OOPs Ship is a Ventus C and the manual talks only about approach flap position which I take to be on Final. It recommends Landing flap or thermal flap. I Wonder why do you use thermal flaps on downwind ?
