Frequently Asked Questions - TOR24SS Thor

How to install the Thor TOR24SS microwave oven?

Installation requires two people. First attach the mounting plate to the wall using toggle bolts and at least one lag screw into a stud. Use the back wall template to mark holes. Drill holes in the upper cabinet for the power cord and support screws. Hang the oven on the plate, pivot it toward the cabinet, and secure it with the mounting bolts. Refer to the complete manual for detailed steps.

What are the exact dimensions of the appliance?

The required width between cabinets is 61 cm (24 in). The oven height is approximately 43.5 cm (17 1/8 in). The maximum depth of adjacent cabinets for proper door opening is 38.1 cm (15 in). Total weight with load can be up to 54.3 kg.

How to vent air to the outside?

The unit supports exterior venting through the top or rear. Use a metal duct round 15.2 cm (6 in) or rectangular 8.3 x 25.4 cm (3.25 x 10 in). The total equivalent length must not exceed 42.7 m (140 ft). Attach the provided vent adapter and connect it to the house duct.

How to use recirculation mode?

For recirculation, the fan must be oriented forward (follow rotation instructions on page 17). Install the provided charcoal filter by removing the damper on the top of the oven. Change this filter every 6 to 12 months depending on use.

How to clean the grease filters?

The grease filters are washable. Remove them and wash by hand or in the dishwasher. Let them dry completely before reinstalling. It is recommended to clean them regularly to maintain hood efficiency.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, depending on frequency of use. It is used only in recirculation mode to absorb odors.

What is the required electrical power?

The oven requires a separate branch circuit of 120 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 A or more. The plug must be three-prong with grounding. The outlet should be located directly inside the cabinet above the unit.

Can I install this microwave oven alone?

It is strongly recommended to have two people for installation due to the weight (up to 54 kg) and the need to handle the appliance at height. A two-person installation reduces the risk of falling and damage.

Why is grounding mandatory?

Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock in case of short circuit. The power cord has a ground wire and a three-prong plug. Never cut off the grounding prong and plug into a properly grounded outlet.

What to do if the microwave door does not open fully?

Check that the depth of adjacent cabinets does not exceed 38.1 cm (15 in). If they are deeper, the door may hit. Also ensure that the appliance is installed level and that the mounting screws are not too tight.

GENERAL INFORMATION

HOOD EXHAUST

Note: Read the 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.

All ductwork must be metal. DO NOT use plastic duct. Check that all connections are made securely.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

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

	DUCT PIECES	EQUIVALENT LENGTH X NUMBER USED	EQUIVALENT LENGTH

	12 ft. Straight Duct (6" Round)	12 ft (3.7 m) x 1	12 ft (3.7 m)
	Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adapter*	5 ft (1.5 m) x 1	5 ft (1.5 m)
	Total Length		41 ft (12.5 m)
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirement for good venting performance with any vent hood.

OUTSIDE REAR EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

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

	DUCT PIECES	EQUIVALENT LENGTH X NUMBER USED	EQUIVALENT LENGTH
	Wall Cap	40 ft (12.2 m) x 1	40 ft (12.2 m)
	[γ224]3 Ft. Straight Duct (31⁄4" x 6" Round)	3 ft (91.4 cm) x 1	3 ft (91.4 cm)
	[ccxx]90° Elbow	10 ft (4 m) x 2	20 ft (6.1 m)
	Total Length		63 ft (19.2 m)
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirement for good venting performance with any vent hood.

Note: Rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used. Care should be taken to align the exhaust with the space between the studs or the wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

*IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adapter 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet (42.7 m).

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

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 connect with a standard 3^1/4 x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transiting adapter must be used. Do not use less than a 6" (15.2 cm) diameter duct.

MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 1/4"x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

ELBOWS, TRANSITIONS, WALL AND ROOF CAPS, ETC.

Elbows, adapters, wall and roof caps, etc. present additional resistance to air flow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections. The chart on the right shows the approximate measurement of equivalent length of some typical ductwork parts.

Use the values in the chart for calculating total ductwork, which should be less than 140 equivalent feet (42.7 m). Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.

IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adapter 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.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE

IMPORTANT: Do not grip or use handle during installation. If filler blocks are not used, outer case damage may occur from over tightening screws.

Note: If your cabinet is metal, use the nylon grommet around the power cord hole to prevent cutting of the cord. We recommend using filler blocks if the cabinet front hangs below the cabinet bottom shelf.

When mounting the microwave oven, thread power cord through hole in bottom of top cabinet. Keep it tight throughout steps 1 - 4. Do not pinch cord or lift oven by pulling cord.

1. Lift microwave, tilt it forward and hook slots at back bottom edge onto four lower tabs of mounting plate.
2. Rotate front of oven up against cabinet bottom.
3. Attach the microwave oven to the top cabinet.
4. Insert two cabinet mounting bolts (1/4" x 3" / 0.6 x 7.6 cm) through outer top cabinet holes. Temporarily secure the oven by turning the screw at least two full turns after the threads have engaged. (It will be completely tightened later.) Be sure to keep power cord tight. Be careful not to pinch the cord, especially when mounting flush to the bottom of cabinet.
