Sure! Here are the step-by-step instructions for installing the Whirlpool WVU7130JS 30-inch Vented 300-CFM Under-Cabinet Hood:
1. Gather all the required tools and parts listed in the instruction manual before starting the installation.
2. Determine the location for the range hood. It should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and heating vents.
3. Make sure to comply with the installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate located inside the range hood. Consult the cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions for any specific cutout requirements.
4. Ensure that you have a grounded electrical supply. Follow the electrical requirements section in the manual for proper wiring and connections.
5. Decide on the venting method - roof or wall. The vent system must terminate to the outdoors and should not be terminated in an attic or enclosed area. Use a 6" or larger round metal vent or a 3¼" x 10" rectangular metal vent. Avoid using flexible vent as it can reduce performance.
6. Install the vent system according to the selected venting method. Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system and make sure there is a minimum of 24" of straight vent between any elbows.
7. Once the vent system is installed, you can proceed with installing the range hood. Remove the grease filters and determine the final location by centering it beneath the cabinet.
8. Mark the location of the 4 keyhole mounting slots on the underside of the cabinet. Drill pilot holes and install the mounting screws, leaving about 1/4" space between the xxxx heads and the cabinet.
9. Run the home power supply cable according to the electrical requirements and make the necessary connections in the terminal box of the range hood.
10. Lift the range hood into its final position and slide it onto the mounting screws. Tighten the screws to secure the range hood in place.
11. Connect the ventwork to the hood, ensuring all joints are sealed with clamps for a secure and airtight fit.
12. Check that the back draft dampers work properly and that all exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk to minimize heat loss and gain.
13. Reinstall the grease filters and check the operation of the range hood fan and light.
That's it! Your Whirlpool WVU7130JS 30-inch Vented 300-CFM Under-Cabinet Hood should now be properly installed and ready to use. For more detailed instructions and diagrams, please refer to the instruction manual provided with the product.
