It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Check your ceiling height and the 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.
WARNING
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 wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24"
(61.0 cm) for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of 27"
(68.6 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested
maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of
the hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.
3. Tape template in place, aligning the template centerline and
bottom of template with hood bottom line and with the
centerline marked on the wall.

Prepare Location
5. Drill ³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws are
being installed into wood.
6. Install the 2 - 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave a ¹⁄₄"
(6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw
head to slide range hood into place.
Vent Cover Bracket Installation
7. Attach vent cover bracket to wall flush to the ceiling using
2 - 5 x 45 mm screws.
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 1¼" (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 ½" 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.
See the "Assistance or Service" section to order.
