• Whirlpool® under-cabinet design – installs neatly beneath cabinetry to provide effective cooktop ventilation without taking up extra space.
• Whirlpool® FIT system – helps reduce measuring, cutting and trim so the hood is designed to be a perfect fit in standard 30" cabinet cutouts.
• LED Task Lighting – bright, long-lasting LED lighting makes it easier to clearly see pots, pans and food on the cooktop while you cook.
• Full-width grease filters – wide coverage filters help capture more grease and cooking residue across the entire width of the cooktop.
• Dishwasher-safe grease filters – removable metal filters can be placed in the dishwasher for quick, convenient cleaning and reuse.
• 2-speed, 270 CFM motor class – offers two fan speeds so you can choose the right level of ventilation for light simmering or high-heat searing.
• Effective smoke and odor removal – 270 CFM exhaust capacity helps quickly clear smoke, steam and cooking odors from the kitchen air.
• 4.7 sones at low speed – provides a defined sound level at low fan speed so you know what to expect for everyday, quieter ventilation.
• Up to 7.1 sones at high speed – delivers stronger airflow when needed, with a higher sound level appropriate for heavy-duty cooking.
• Flexible ventilation options – convertible design supports exterior venting or recirculating installation when outside ducting is not available.
• Exterior or recirculating venting – can be ducted vertically to the outside or used with recirculation filters to return filtered air back into the kitchen.
• Vertical 7" round duct configuration – designed for vertical venting through a 7" round duct, simplifying planning for new or replacement installations.
• Top exhaust vent location – vent outlet on the top of the hood aligns with many existing duct runs for easier replacement of older hoods.
• Axial blower design – axial fan helps move air efficiently through the hood and duct system for reliable performance.
• BTU threshold up to 55,000 BTU – engineered to provide appropriate ventilation performance for cooktops and ranges up to 55,000 BTU total output.
• Rocker switch controls – simple, durable rocker switches on the front panel make it easy to control fan speed and lighting.
• Front control location – controls positioned at the front of the hood allow quick access without reaching over hot burners.
• Single-setting LED task light – one lighting level provides consistent, even illumination over the cooking surface.
• Standard 30" width – sized to fit most 30" ranges and cooktops, ideal for common kitchen layouts and replacements.
• Low-profile canopy height – shallow hood height helps maintain sightlines and a more open feel under cabinets.
• Under-cabinet mounting – installs directly to the underside of wall cabinets for a built-in, integrated appearance.
• Convertible ventilation type – supports both ducted and non-ducted configurations to match different home and building requirements.
• LED lighting energy efficiency – LED technology uses less energy and lasts longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, reducing replacement frequency.
• White finish – neutral white color coordinates with a wide range of appliance finishes and kitchen styles.
• Plastic vent and internal components – lightweight vent materials help simplify installation and resist corrosion from moist air.
• Back vent fan location – fan placement at the back of the hood helps streamline airflow path to the top exhaust outlet.
• Two fan speed options – choose low speed for everyday cooking or high speed for frying, boiling and grilling.
• Standard 120V electrical connection – plugs into typical household power (hardwired) for straightforward electrical setup.
• LED night visibility – task light can be used independently of the fan to provide soft illumination of the cooktop area when not cooking.
• Helps reduce grease buildup – filtration and airflow help limit grease accumulation on cabinets and surrounding surfaces.
• Improves indoor air quality – removes airborne particles, steam and odors generated during cooking to keep the kitchen more comfortable.
• Supports ADA-compliant installation – design can be installed to meet applicable accessibility guidelines when properly configured.
• Star-K certified – meets Star-K requirements, making it suitable for use in kosher kitchens that follow specific guidelines.
• 1-year limited warranty – backed by a manufacturer’s limited warranty for parts and labor for added purchase confidence.
• Ideal for replacement projects – 30" common size, vertical 7" round duct and FIT system make it well-suited for upgrading older under-cabinet hoods.
• Helps protect cabinetry – by capturing steam and grease, the hood helps reduce moisture and residue exposure on nearby cabinets.
• Simple, easy-to-clean surfaces – smooth exterior and removable filters are designed for quick wipe-downs and routine maintenance.
