HOOD EXHAUST

NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 11.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES		EQUIVALENT LENGTH x NUMBER USED =			LENGTH
	Roof Cap		24 Ft.		x (1)
	12 Ft. Straight Duct (6" Round)	12 Ft. x (1) =			12 Ft.
	Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adaptor*	5 Ft. x (1) =			5 Ft.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.Total Length =					41 Ft.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES		EQUIVALENT LENGTH* x NUMBER USED =			LENGTH
	Wall Cap	40 Ft.	x (1)	=	40 Ft.
[WKKIO]	3 Ft. Straight Duct (31⁄4" x 10" Rectangular)	3 Ft.	x (1)	=	3 Ft.
	90° Elbow	10 Ft.			x (2)
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.Total Length =					63 Ft.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT. Read the following carefully.

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3 14 " x 10" rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 314 " x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

DUCT PIECES		EQUIVALENT LENGTH	NUMBER USED =			LENGTH
	Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adaptor*	5 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
	Wall Cap	40 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
	90° Elbow	10 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
	45° Elbow	5 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
	90° Elbow	25 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
	45° Elbow	5 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
	Roof Cap	24 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
[SH88]	Straight Duct 6" Round or 1⁄4" & 10" Rectangular	1 Ft.	x	( )	=	Ft.
Total Ductwork =						Ft.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.

1 PLACEMENT OF THE MOUNTING PLATE

A. REMOVING THE MICROWAVE OVEN FROM THE CARTON

1 Remove the installation instructions, filters, glass tray, mounting plate, and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the foam protecting the front of the oven.
2 Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides. Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto the top side. The oven should be resting in the foam.

3 Pull the carton up and off the oven.
4 Set the oven upright. Remove and properly discard plastic bags and foam packing.

B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS

1 Find the studs, using one of the following methods:

A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which locates nails.

OR

B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.

2 After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud. Then place a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be 16" or 24" from this mark.
3 Draw a line down the center of the studs. THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

DETERMINING MOUNTING PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

Plate Position – beneath flat bottom cabinet

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" wide space. Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom of the cabinet

Plate Position – beneath framed recessed cabinet bottom

Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" space.
Tape the Rear Wall Template onto the wall matching the centerline and touching the bottom cabinet frame.

Plate Position – beneath recessed bottom cabinet with front overhang.

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave installation. Remove the decorative trim to install the microwave properly and to make it level.

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.

If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back or side frame, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave level.

1 Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2 Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3 For this type of installation with front overhang only, align the Rear Wall Template with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

D MARKING THE MOUNTING HOLES

OPTION 1: USE PAPER REAR WALL TEMPLATE

CAUTION

Wear gloves to avoid cutting fingers

on sharp edges.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Take care to not drill into electrical wiring inside walls or cabinets.

This Rear Wall Template serves to locate the mounting holes for the bottom mounting plate and to locate the horizontal exhaust outlet.

1. Use a level to check that the template is positioned accurately.
2. Locate and mark at least one stud on the left or right side of the centerline.

NOTE: It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave.

1. Mark the hole location on the wall using the template at holes A and B. Mark at least one hole location in area C that lines up with the location of a stud. A minimum of three holes must be used for mounting.
2. Drill holes in the marked locations. Where there is a stud, drill a 3/16" hole for wood screws. For holes that do not line up with a stud, drill 5/8" holes for toggle bolts.

NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE AT THIS TIME

1. Remove the template from the rear wall.

D MARKING THE MOUNTING HOLES OPTION 2: USE METAL BRACKET AS TEMPLATE

NOTE: Refer to step C "DETERMINING MOUNTING PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET on page 8 for aligning instructions.

STEP 1: Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" space.

Pure architectural line drawing of a symmetrical structure with no text, numbers, or symbols

STEP 4: Installer uses a level to draw a horizontal line that connects the two marks made with the stamped slot in the bracket.

STEP 2: Installer uses bracket to make 2 marks. First mark is made by using the stamped slot in bracket. Second mark is made on the outside edge of bracket.

STEP 5: Installer places the mounting bracket on the wall as shown in the picture. Draw circles on the wall at holes A and B. Draw at least one circle in area C. At least one circle MUST line up with a wall stud.

Place bracket within the lines created in previous steps.

STEP 3: Installer moves bracket to the other side of the cabinets and makes 2 more marks. Marks are the same as STEP 2, just opposite side.

STEP 6: Set mounting bracket aside and drill holes at all marked locations. If there is a stud, drill a 3/16" hole for wood screws. For holes that do not line up with a stud, drill a 5/8" hole for a toggle bolt.

5 Locate the two "knockout" plates, on the rear oven panel, near the top of the oven.

Using tin snips, carefully cut the web area from the two holes side-by-side (that secure the knockouts to the oven). Cut all four webs on both rear knockouts; this will allow the ventilation fan airflow to exhaust out the rear of the oven.

CAUTION

Be sure to trim the sharp

edges from the openings after removing the knockout plates.
