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.
Assemble Range Hood
1. Install transition on top of hood (if removed for shipping) with
2 - 3.5 x 9.5 mm sheet metal screws.
2. Position the 4 vertical supports (A) with the notches at the
bottom and attach to the range hood using 16 - 4.2 x 8 mm
screws.
3. Attach the horizontal support (B) using 8 - 4.2 x 8 mm screws.
4. Attach a second set of vertical supports (A) and set the
vertical height (B). See “Installation Dimensions” in the
“Location Requirements” section to help determine the

Install Range Hood
Non-Vented (recirculating) Installation
1. Attach the air deflector to the upper horizontal support using
4 mounting screws.
2. Measure the length of 6" (15.2 cm) duct needed to connect
the transition to the deflector.
NOTE: Vent should fit up inside the deflector 1" (2.5 cm)
minimum.
3. Install vent between the transition and the deflector.
NOTE: To make vent installation easier, temporarily remove
the deflector from the chimney support bracket and replace
after vent section is in place.
4. Seal all connections with vent clamps. Continue with “Range
Hood Installation” in this section.
