Whirlpool UXT5536AAS Manual

■

The grounded 3 prong outlet is to be located inside the 
cabinet above the range hood at a maximum distance of 
33

⁷⁄₁₆" (85.0 cm) from where the power cord exits the hood. 

See illustration.

NOTE: For vented installations, 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.

1. For vented installations, determine which venting method to 

use: roof or wall. 

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

covering over that surface.

3. Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood and set it upside 

down onto covered surface.

4. If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each 

side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.

Cut only one 1

¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole. See 

Step 2 for wiring hole location instructions.  

1. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall 

and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.

2. To wire through top: 

Mark a line distance “A” from the left of the centerline on the 
underside of the cabinet. Mark the point on this line that is 
2" (5.0 cm) from back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.0 cm) diameter hole 
through the cabinet at this point.

For a grounded, cord-connected range hood: 

This range hood must be grounded. In the event of an 
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric 
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. 
This range hood is equipped with a cord having a grounding 
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into 
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: 

Improper grounding can result in a risk of 

electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions 
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to 
whether the range hood is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too 
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the 
range hood.
