Recommended grounding melhod

For your personal safety, this microwave oven hood must be grounded.

ThiS microwave oven hood is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

70 -- latest edition (*, see Panel A), and all local codes and ordinances.

(See Figure 1.)

If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Venting requirements

Ductwork needed for Installation is not included.

Wall and roof caps used must have back-draft damper.

Fire Hazard

Venting system must terminate to the outside.

Do Not terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.

Do Not use 4" laundry-type wall caps.

Do Not use plastic ductwork.

Failure to follow recommended venting

procedures may result in a fire.

r

CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside.

Do Not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.

Use metal ductwork only. Rigid metal ductwork is recommended.

Flexible metal ductwork is Not recommended.

If flexible metal ductwork is used, calculate each foot of flexible metal ductwork as two feet of straight metal ductwork.

Flexible metal elbows count twice as much as standard elbows.

Determine which venting method (roofventing or wall-venting) you need to use.

This microwave oven hood is equipped for ventless (recircuiating) installation.

The length of the ductwork and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

The size of ductwork should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together, Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct system. Use caulking to seat exterior wall or roof opening around cap.

Figures 2-5 show common venting methods and types of materials needed.

Note: If the rear exhaust method is chosen, be sure that there is proper clearance within the watl for the exhaust duct.
