Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Have a qualied technician install the range hood. It is the
installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances
specied on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial rating
plate is located behind the left lter on the rear wall of the vent
hood.
Canopy hood location should be away from strong draft areas,
such as windows, doors and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.
Because of the size and weight of this island hood, the chimney
support must be securely attached to the ceiling.
■ For plaster or drywall ceilings, the chimney support must be
attached to joists. If this is not possible, you must build a
support structure behind the plaster or drywall. The support
structure must be able to support 100 lbs (45.4 kg).
This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops with a
maximum total rating of 78,000 BTUs or less.
The range hood is factory set for venting through the roof.
For non-vented (recirculating) installation, see “Non-vented
(recirculating) Installations” in “Assemble and Install Range
Hood” section. Recirculation Kit Part Number W10692909 is
available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor.
All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be
installed must be sealed.

The installation of this range hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24
CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such
standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and

Venting Requirements
■ Vent system must terminate to the outside, except for non-
vented (recirculating) installations.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
■ Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do
not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■ The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall
cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the
range hood.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
■ Use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight
vent between the elbows, if more than 1 elbow is used.
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
■ The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air ow and a thermal break should be installed
to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of
air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your
area.
Venting Methods
This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof.
An 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent
creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To
vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
A
Wall cap
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating)
version, tting a charcoal lter and the deector. Fumes and
vapors are recycled through the top grille.

■ A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A, fused electrical circuit is
required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
Connect the aluminum wiring using special connectors
and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to
aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's
recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection
must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring
practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the appliance as specied on the model/serial/rating plate.
The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the left lter
on the rear wall of the range hood.
■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA
Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and
ordinances.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A
Prepare Location
■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
the range hood is installed.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling for exhaust vent.
■ Range hood is to be installed 24" (61.0 cm) min. for electric
cooking surfaces, 27" (68.6 cm) min. for gas cooking
surfaces, to a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above
the cooking surface.
■ Check your ceiling height and the range hood height
maximum before you select your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall,
or non-vented.
3. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered
surface.
3. For vented installations only: Using a jigsaw or keyhole
saw, cut a 6½" (16.5 cm) diameter hole for the vent duct.
Install In-Line Smart Kit - Optional
NOTE: Your range hood can work with either an internal or an
in-line (external) blower motor system. An optional In-Line Smart
Kit (purchased separately) allows the blower motor that comes
with this range hood to be installed in a location other than
inside the range hood cavity.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of re and electric shock, install
this range hood only with the In-Line Smart Kit manufactured by
Whirlpool, W10692945.
For installation see the In-Line Smart Kit installation instructions.
See the “Assistance or Service” section to order.
Assemble and Install Range Hood
1. Install transition on top of hood (if removed for shipping) with
2 - 3.5 x 9.5 mm sheet metal screws.
B
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the
range hood will be installed, considering the requirements for
ceiling support structures. See the “Location Requirements”
section. Make sure the range hood is centered over the
cooking surface.
2. Tape template in place on the ceiling at the marked
centerline. The line for the front of the range hood should be
parallel to the front of the cooktop.
3. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and
duct hole locations on the ceiling.
NOTE: Mounting hole locations should be into a ceiling
support structure capable f holding 100 lbs (45.4 kg).
Remove the template.
4. Drill (4) 3⁄16" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper
horizontal support
Complete Preparation
1. Determine the required location for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1/2" (1.3 cm) diameter hole for wire access.
2. Run wire through the home power supply cable according
to the National Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local
codes and ordinances. There must be enough 1/2" conduit
and wires from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box
to make the connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
2. Mark with a pencil the hole locations for screws and duct on
the ceiling.
