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 or 27" (68.6 cm) min. for gas cooking
surfaces to suggested maximum of 36" (91.2 cm) above the

2.
Determine the required location for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1/2"(1.3 cm) diameter hole for wire access.
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.
1. Disconnect
power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, or non-vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
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.
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.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
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 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 Ibs (36.6 kg).
Remove the template.
4. Drill 4 - 3/le" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper
horizontal support.
A. Upper horizontal support
IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood. If there
is no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports
may be required.The ceiling support structure must be
capable of holding 80 Ibs (36.6 kg).
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.
See the "Assistance
