Chimney Extension Kit for Wall Hoods by Whirlpool
Chimney extension kits help to ensure your new Whirlpool wall hood fits at just the right height, creating proper ventilation for your kitchen. This is crucial to any home's safety and hygiene—whether you're a master chef, a once-a-week meal prepper or just learning how to cook, smoke and fumes are always a part of crafting foods. Scrambled eggs can send grease flying, while a burnt steak can spell disaster for dinner (and send smoke up in the air). That's when you'll need your wall hood to be at the correct height.
The Perfect Height
This chimney extension kit is made for high ceilings taller than 9 feet high and ensures the chimney reaches the height of the ceiling. That's all to safely vent grease, smoke and other fumes out of your home. Otherwise, toxic airborne chemicals could cause potential damage while grease can stick to surfaces in the home and make cleaning difficult. With this chimney extension kit installed, you'll be able to use your Whirlpool range beneath with no fear of poor ventilation. Before diving in and attempting to install yourself, check the Installation Guide ahead of time to see if it's within your capabilities.
