Range Hood Safety; Location Requirements; Installation Instructions; Install Range Hood - Whirlpool GXI6536DXS2 Installation Instructions And Use & Care Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
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.
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.
3. Use caulk to seal all openings.
4. For vented installations only: Using a jigsaw or keyhole
saw, cut a 81/2 '' (21.6 cm) diameter hole for the vent duct.
5. Attach the upper horizontal support bracket with 4 - 5 x
45 mm wood screws.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
5. 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.
6. Tape template in place on the ceiling at the marked
centerline.
7. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and
duct hole locations on the ceiling.
NOTE: Mounting hole locations should be into the ceiling
support structure.
Remove the template.
8. Drill 4 - ¾e" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper
horizontal support.
A. Upper horizontal support
1. Position the 4 vertical supports (A) with the notches at the
bottom and attach to the range hood using 16 - 4 x 8 mm
screws.
2. Attach the horizontal support (B) using 8 - 4 x 8 mm screws.
