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 1W' (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 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.
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.
