KitchenAid KWCS100WSS, KWCS160WSS Dimension Guide
30" (76.2 cm) and 36" (91.4 cm) Wall-Mount Canopy Range Hood
PRODUCT MODEL NUMBERS
KWCS100W KWCS160W
Electrical: A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
This canopy range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or through the wall.
A 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.
Rear discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
For non-vented (recirculating) installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) installation by fitting the charcoal filters and the diverter to the range hood. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the vent slots in the lower chimney.
