Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Have a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the
installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances
specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating
plate is located behind the left filter 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.
This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops with a
maximum total rating of 65,000 BTUs or less.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.
The canopy hood is factory-set for venting through the roof or
wall. For non-vented (recirculating) installation, see “For nonvented (recirculating) installation only” in the “Connect Vent
System” section. Recirculation Kit Part Number W10692908 is
available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor.
All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy hood will be
installed must be sealed.
For Mobile Home Installations
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
Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or latest edition, or with local
codes.

Venting Requirements
(Vented Models Only)
■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, 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.
Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:
■ 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 clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ 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.
■ 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 airflow 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 specified CFM of air
movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your
area.
Venting Methods
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)
version, using a Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal filters
and a deflector). To order, see the “Assistance or Service”
section.

Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with 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.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire 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 specified on the model/serial rating plate.
The model/serial plate is located behind the filter 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.
Example Vent System
The following example falls within the maximum recommended
vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).
1 - 90° elbow= 5.0 ft (1.5 m)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
■ Check your ceiling height and the 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 flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
5. Drill ³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws are
being installed into wood.
6. Install the 2 - 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave a ¹⁄₄"
(6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw
head to slide range hood into place.
Vent Cover Bracket Installation
7. Attach vent cover bracket to wall flush to the ceiling using
2 - 5 x 45 mm screws.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24"
(61.0 cm) for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of 27"
(68.6 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested
maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of
the hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.
3. Tape template in place, aligning the template centerline and
bottom of template with hood bottom line and with the
centerline marked on the wall.
A. Centerline
B. Fastener locations
C. Mounting height reference (hood bottom line)
4. Mark centers of the fastener locations through the template
to the wall.
IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood. If there
is no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports
may be required.
Remove the template.
A. Ceiling
B. Wall
C. Centerline
Complete Preparation
1. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the vent
system. Install the vent system before installing the hood. See
“Venting Requirements” section.
2. Determine the required height for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
3. Run the home power supply cable according to the National
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and
ordinances. There must be enough ½" 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.
4. Use caulk to seal all openings.
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 fire and electric shock, install this
range hood only with the In-Line Smart Kit manufactured by
Whirlpool, part number W10692945.
For installation see the In-Line Smart Kit installation instructions.
