Venting requirements

Venting system must terminate to the outside.

Do not terminate the vent in an attic or other enclosed space.

Do not use four-inch (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.

Do not use plastic vent.

Vent system needed for installation is not included.

Determine which outside venting method needs to be used. It is recommended that the vent system be installed before installing the hood.

NOTE: If a non-vented (recirculating) installation is desired, follow instructions on Page 5.

The length of the vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the vent system should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around exhaust hood. For the most efficient and quiet operation, it is recommended that the range be vented vertically through the

roof through 7" (17.8 cm) round vent system.

Figures 1 and 2 show common venting methods and what types of materials are needed.

Recommended vent length

Use 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) round vent with a maximum length of 60 ft (27.9 m) for vent system. For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system. See the examples on the next page.

RH4830, RH4836 specifications

The Whirlpool RH4836 and RH4830 are innovative range hoods designed to elevate the cooking experience by combining sleek aesthetics with advanced technology. Both models are part of Whirlpool's commitment to quality and performance, featuring impressive engineering and user-friendly functionalities tailored for modern kitchens.

The Whirlpool RH4836 is a 36-inch wall-mounted range hood that stands out with its contemporary design and powerful performance. It is equipped with a powerful blower that effectively eliminates smoke, grease, and odors from the kitchen. The high airflow rate ensures that the cooking area remains fresh and clean, making it an essential addition for avid cooks. With multiple fan speeds, users can easily adjust the ventilation according to their cooking needs, ranging from a gentle breeze to robust suction when dealing with more intense cooking processes.

In contrast, the Whirlpool RH4830 is a 30-inch version that delivers similar features in a more compact size. This model is perfect for smaller kitchens or where space is at a premium. Both hoods include bright LED lighting that illuminates the cooktop area, enhancing visibility and aiding in the cooking process. The energy-efficient LED lights consume less power compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, contributing to overall energy savings.

A notable feature shared by both models is their easy-to-clean filters. The aluminum mesh filters efficiently trap grease and can be removed for quick cleaning, ensuring the hoods maintain optimal performance and hygiene. The range hoods also have a modern, stainless steel finish that not only adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen but also ensures durability and resistance to staining and scratching.

Whirlpool has equipped both the RH4836 and RH4830 with the convenient auto shut-off feature, which automatically turns off the ventilation after a specified time, ensuring energy efficiency and minimizing waste. Additionally, both models operate quietly, allowing for an unobtrusive cooking environment even on higher settings.

In summary, the Whirlpool RH4836 and RH4830 range hoods present an impressive blend of functionality, style, and modern technology, making them ideal choices for homeowners looking to enhance their kitchen's efficiency while maintaining a clean and fresh atmosphere. Whether you opt for the larger RH4836 or the more compact RH4830, both models promise reliability and performance, reaffirming Whirlpool's reputation as a leader in kitchen innovation.
