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 6. Below are examples of Outside Top Exhaust and Outside Back Exhaust duct system layouts. Note the position of the microwave oven relative to the duct system.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

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

	DUCT PIECES		LENGTH x USED =	EQUIVALENT NUMBER LENGTH
		Roof Cap	24 Ft. x (1) =	24 Ft.
		12 Ft. Straight Duct (6" Round)	12 Ft. x (1) =	12 Ft.
		Rectangular-to-Round 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.

DUCT PIECES		LENGTH x USED =		EQUIVALENT NUMBER LENGTH
	Roof Cap	24 Ft. x (1) =		24 Ft.
	12 Ft. Straight Duct (6" Round)	12 Ft. x (1) =		12 Ft.
	Rectangular-to-Round 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 possibleductwork installation.
	DUCT PIECES LENGTH* x USED = LENGTH		EQUIVALENT NUMBER
		Wall Cap	40 Ft. x (1) = 40 Ft.
		3 Ft. Straight Duct(31⁄4" x 10" Rectangular)	3 Ft. x (1) = 3 Ft.
		90° Elbow	10 Ft. x (2) = 20 Ft.
	Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests andreflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.Total Length =		63 Ft.

DUCT PIECES LENGTH* x USED		= LENGTH	EQUIVALENT
	Wall Cap	40 Ft. x (1) =	40 Ft.
	3 Ft. Straight Duct ( 314'' × 10'' Rectangular )	3 Ft. x (1) =	3 Ft.
	90° Elbow	10 Ft. x (2) =	20 Ft.
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 3 14 " 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 314 " 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 duct pieces.

DUCT PIECES LENGTH x USED =		EQUIVALENT NUMBER EQUIVALENT LENGTH
	Rectangular-to-Round on 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.
	Straight Duct 6" Round or 1⁄4"3x 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.

Carton

Foam

3Pull the carton up and off the microwave oven.
4The mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the microwave oven. The plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting the microwave oven to the wall.
5Set the microwave oven upright. Remove and properly discard plastic bags and foam.
6 Open the microwave oven door and remove the plastic sheet and tape from inside the microwave oven door. Remove the tape covering the turntable hub.

B FINDING THE WALL STUDS

Wall Studs

Center

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

A. Stud finder.

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.
3 The center of any adjacent studs should be 16" or 24" from this mark. Draw a line down the center of the studs.

IMPORTANT: The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

C DETERMINING MOUNTING PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

Plate Position – flat bottom cabinet

Mounting Plate Tabs Touching the Cabinet Bottom At least 30", up to 36"

Plate Position – recessed cabinet bottom

Mounting Plate Tabs Touching the Back Frame of the Cabinet 30" to Cooktop

Plate Position – cabinet with front overhang

Mounting Plate with Tabs Below Cabinet Bottom the Same Distance as the Front Overhang Depth 30" to Cooktop

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

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

If the cabinets have a front overhang, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave oven level.

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, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

D ALIGNING THE MOUNTING PLATE

30" Hole A Draw a Vertical Line on Wall from Center of Top Cabinet Hole B Hole C Area E Notch Hole D

CAUTION

Wear gloves to avoid cutting edges.

1 Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30" wide space.
2 Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear wall. Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are touching the bottom of the cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinets with front overhang. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.
3 While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C, and D (see illustration above/actual plate marked with arrows). Four holes must be used for mounting.

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw a fifth circle to line up with the stud. It is important to use at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave oven.

Set the mounting plate aside.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Can cause

injury or death. Take care to not drill into electrical wiring inside walls or cabinets.

4 Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 316 " hole for wood screws. For holes that don't line up with a stud, drill a 58 " hole for toggle bolts.

NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
