B. FINDING THE WALL STUDS

Wall Studs 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

2 Draw a horizontal line on the wall at the bottom of "Rear Wall Template".
3 Find a wall stud in area "E" of mounting plate Refer to section 1B. Finding the wall studs.
4 For attaching the mounting plate into stud drill a 3/16" hole into wood stud. Drill a 5/8" hole for toggle bolt in 1 other location (Hole A or Hole B) NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.

NOTE: Holes A and B are inside area E. If neither of Holes A and B are not in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E and draw a circle to line up with the stud. It is important to have at least one wood screw mounted firmly in a stud to support the weight of the microwave. Set the mounting plate aside.

2 INSTALLATION TYPES (Choose A, B or C)

This microwave oven is designed for adaptation to the following three types of ventilation:

A. Outside Top Exhaust (Vertical Duct)
B. Outside Back Exhaust (Horizontal Duct)
C. Recirculating (Non-Vented Ductless)

A OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (VERTICAL DUCT)

Adaptor in Place for Outside Top Exhaust See page 16

NOTE: This microwave is shipped assembled for Recirculating. Select the type of ventilation required for your installation and proceed to that section.

B OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (HORIZONTAL DUCT)

Adaptor Must Be Moved to the Back for Outside Back Exhaust See page 16

C RECIRCULATING (NON-VENTED DUCTLESS)

Line drawing of a box with a lid and a paper airplane, labeled 'See page 20' (no other text or symbols)

Models are shipped for recirculating exhaust. Some models have a disposable charcoal filter installed to help remove smoke and odors.

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 20.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL EXHAUST DUCTING

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 31/4" 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 120 equivalent feet (36.5 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 31/4" 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. A 5" (12.7cm)/6" (15.2cm) diameter duct is acceptable to use.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3W 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 120 equivalent feet (36.5 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

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.

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. (19.2 m)

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.
