Asked 7 years ago by Hood.
- Answer Hi Hood, there is not set distance from the wall. If you prefer you can mount the hood flush with the wall. We hope this helps!

QuestionI have 12' tall ceilings, will the duct extend to my ceiling?
Asked 8 years ago by Mel.
- Answer No it will not without extension. You can raise the hood a few inches more, however; raising the fan hood itself too high will not look properly in line with cabinets.. Many people do not have them extend all the way. That is ok. Some will build a fancy cheap drywall box to blend in with a crown around the cabinets on each side and extending parallel across the sofit box.

QuestionWhat is the noise level (decibels) of this fan?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Can't tell you db noise levels, but I can tell you that you have to really listen for it on the low setting. Even the medium setting is pretty quiet. I checked out the air flow (blast?) before attaching the venting, and it really moves some air even on the lowest setting.

QuestionWhen this unit is powered on and you remove the grease traps from the bottom of it, should the blower motor be blowing IN to the kitchen or should it be sucking air OUT?
Asked 8 years ago by Brian.
- Answer Hi Brian, Depending on how one vented the Hood, then it is possible for the blower motor to be recirculating. For information on how to change the air direction, please go to http://www.whirlpool.com/digitalassets/MLPDF/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%20W10836364.pdf.

QuestionIs this hood fingerprint resistant? I ordered the oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher all in fingerprint resistant and want to make sure it matches in color.
Asked 6 years ago by Desminer.
- Answer No, it is not finger resistant. But unlike a fridge or dishwasher there is no need to touch the canopy or the chimney during the normal day to day use so the finger resistant quality is not that important. It needs some cleaning around the knobs once in a while.

QuestionHow far down from the ceiling does the electrical wires need to be?
Asked 8 years ago by DJ.
- Answer Wiring is directly connected to hood at the top of the slope. So as long as it fits behind the cover and reaches the motor you should be fine. Keep in mind the big hole you need for the exhaust hose also.
