INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

■

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 or 27" (68.6 cm) min. for gas cooking 
surfaces to suggested maximum of 36" (91.2 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, or non-vented.

3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place 

covering over that surface.

4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.

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 lbs (36.6 kg).

Remove the template.

4. Drill 4 - 

³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper 

horizontal support. 

1. Determine the required location for the home power supply 

cable and drill a ½" (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 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.

3. For vented installations only: Using a jigsaw or keyhole 

saw, cut a 6½" (16.5 cm) diameter hole for the vent duct.

4. Attach the upper horizontal support bracket with 4 - 5 x 

45 mm wood screws.

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 lbs (36.6 kg).

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.
