B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS

Wall Studs 10.3" (26.2cm) Center

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

A. Stud finder – a magnetic device which locates nails. 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 (40.6 cm) or 24 (61 cm) from this mark.

3 Draw a line down the center of the studs. THE MICROWAVE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

C. DETERMINING WALL PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 34" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5" (12.7 cm) diameter/ 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet (42.7 m). Outside ventilation requires an EXTERNAL 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 exhaust adaptor has been designed to mate with a standard 34" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. "A5" (12.7cm)/ "6" (15.2cm) diameter duct is acceptable to use.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 34" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 5" (12.7 cm) diameter/6" (15.2 cm) diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivaler feet (42.7 m). 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	x	NUMBER USED	=	EQUIVALENT LENGTH
	Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adaptor*	5 Ft. (1.5 m) x ( )	= Ft.	or m
	Wall Cap 40 Ft. (12.2 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	90° Elbow 10 Ft. (3 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	45° Elbow 5 Ft. (1.5 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	90° Elbow 25 Ft. (7.6 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m
	45° Elbow 5 Ft. (1.5 m) x ( ) = Ft. or m

	Straight Duct 6" (15.2 cm) Round or 31/4" x 10" (8.2 x 25.4 cm Rectangular)	1 Ft. (0.3 m) x ( )	= Ft.	or m
Total Ductwork = Ft. or m

* 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.
