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.
Grounded electrical supply 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.
This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops with a maximum total rating of 60,000 BTUs or less.
The range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
For non-vented (recirculating) Installation see "Non-vented (recirculating) Installation" in "Install Range Hood" section. Recirculation Kit Part Number W10680067 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.
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.
* Vented installations only
** Non-vented (recirculating) installations only
Minimum distance "C": 24" (61 cm) from electric cooking surface, 27" (68.6 cm) from gas cooking surface
Suggested maximum distance "C": 36" (91.4 cm)
The chimneys can be adjusted for different ceiling heights. See the following chart.
Vented Installations | ||
Minimum ceiling height | Maximum ceiling height | |
Electric cooking surface | 7' 8" (2.34 m) | 9' 10" (3 m) |
Gas cooking surface | 7' 11" (2.41 m) | 9' 10" (3 m) |
Non-Vented (Recirculating) Installations | ||
Minimum ceiling height | Maximum ceiling height | |
Electric cooking surface | 7' 8" (2.34 m) | 10' 3" (3.12 m) |
Gas cooking surface | 7' 11" (2.41 m) | 10' 3" (3.12 m) |
NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling or soffit heights depending on the distance "C" between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface. For higher ceilings, a Stainless Steel Chimney Extension Kit Part Number W10688278 is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.
For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow 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.
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.
This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof.
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.
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, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille. To order, see the "Assistance or Service" section.
NOTE: If codes permits, wall venting can be an option for 2-story homes.
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
Example Vent System
The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).
1 - 90° elbow | = 5 ft (1.5 m) |
1 - wall cap | = 0 ft (0 m) |
8 ft (2.4 m) straight | = 8 ft (2.4 m) |
Length of system | = 13 ft (3.9 m) |
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.

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.
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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
For optional power cord kit installations, follow the instructions supplied with the power cord kit. See the "Assistance or Service" section for information on ordering.
NOTE: Use only with range hood cord connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model range hood.
NOTE: Remove the film from the duct covers.
NOTE: To get the most efficient use from your new range hood, read the "Range Hood Use" section.
The range hood is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area. For best results, start the hood before cooking and allow it to operate several minutes after the cooking is complete to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen.
The hood controls are located on the front side of the canopy.
The On/Off light button controls both lights. Press once for on and again for off.
The Blower Speed buttons turn the blower on and control the blower speed and sound level for quiet operation. The speed can be changed anytime during fan operation by pressing the desired Blower Speed button.
The Blower Off button turns the blower off.
The switch controls the ambient lighting.
NOTE: When the Ambient Lighting is placed in the Auto setting, a sensor will automatically sense if it is dark in the area around the range hood. The Ambient Lighting will turn on and stay on until it senses there is enough light in the area around the range hood, or the Ambient Lighting switch is placed in the On or Off position.
Clean the hood and grease filters frequently according to the following instructions. Replace grease filters before operating hood.
To avoid damage to the exterior surface, do not use steel wool or soap-filled scouring pads.
Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.
Cleaning Method:
The charcoal filter is not washable. It should last up to 6 months with normal use. Replace with Charcoal Filter Kit Number W10412939.
To replace charcoal filter:
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire and shock when used for recirculation, use conversion kit:
