User Manual Range Hood

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

■ Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood to determine the best routing for the vent duct.

■ 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 the exhaust vent.

■ Range hood is to be installed 24" (61 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.

■ Remove film from metal surfaces as needed prior to assembly.

■ Check your ceiling height and the range hood height maximum before you install 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. Place two 3" (7.6 cm) high spacers (not included) onto the covered surface.

4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered spacers.

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 the 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 of holding 80 lbs (36.6 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 1 /2" (1.3 cm) conduit and wires or 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 or home power supply cable 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.

3. For vented installations only: Using a jigsaw or keyhole saw, cut a 61 /2" (16.5 cm) diameter hole for the vent duct.

4. Attach the upper horizontal support bracket with 4 - 5 x 45 mm wood screws. NOTE: Upper horizontal support screws must be into a ceiling support structure capable of holding 80 lbs (36.6 kg).

Install In-Line Smart Kit - Optional

NOTE: Your range hood can work with either an internal or an inline (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. See the “Assistance or Service” section to order.

Assemble Range Hood.

1. Install transition on top of hood (if removed for shipping) with 2 - 3.5 x 9.5 mm sheet metal screws.

2. Position the 4 vertical supports (A) with the notches at the bottom and attach to the range hood using 16 - 4.2 x 8 mm screws.

3. Attach the horizontal support (B) using 8 - 4.2 x 8 mm screws.

4. Attach a second set of vertical supports (A) and set the vertical height (B). See “Installation Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section to help determine the desired dimension for vertical height “B.” Secure with 16 - 4.2 x 8 mm T20® screws.

Install Range Hood

Non-Vented (recirculating) Installation

1. Attach the air deflector to the upper horizontal support using 4 mounting screws.

2. Measure the length of 6" (15.2 cm) duct needed to connect the transition to the deflector. NOTE: Vent should fit up inside the deflector 1" (2.5 cm) minimum.

3. Install vent between the transition and the deflector. NOTE: To make vent installation easier, temporarily remove the deflector from the chimney support bracket and replace after vent section is in place.

4. Seal all connections with vent clamps. Continue with “Range Hood Installation” in this section.

Range Hood Installation

1. Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood assembly and attach it by snapping the vertical supports to the spring clips in the upper horizontal support bracket that is mounted to the ceiling. NOTE: The range hood assembly must be held in place while you are installing the screws in the next step.

2. Install 16 - 4.2 x 8 mm screws and tighten to secure.

Connect Vent System

1. Install vent system.

2. Push the duct over the exhaust outlet. Seal all connections with vent clamps.

3. Use caulk to seal all openings.

Make Electrical Connection
