Electrically ground microwave oven hood.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure microwave oven hood is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply (located in the upper cabinet as close as possible to the microwave oven hood) is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Recommended ground method

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 ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong ground-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.

Fire Hazard

Venting system must terminate to the outside.

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

Do Not use four-inch laundry-type wall caps.

Do Not use plastic duct.

Failure to follow recommended venting procedures may result in a fire.

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.

3-1/4" x 10" to round duct transition

Figure 5

Recommended duct length

Use 3-1/4" x 10" or 6" duct. The total length of the duct system including straight duct, elbow, transitions, wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet of 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct. For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each duct piece used in the system. See the following examples:

Duct needed for Installation is not included.

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

Use metal duct only. Rigid metal duct is recommended.

Flexible metal duct is Not recommended. If flexible metal duct is used, calculate each foot of flexible metal duct as two feet of straight metal duct. 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 (recirculating) installation.

The length of the duct and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of duct should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together.

Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around cap. Figures 2-5 show common venting methods and types of materials needed.

Note: If wall-venting method is chosen, be sure that there is proper clearance within the wall for the exhaust duct.

Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear wall.

Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are against the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.

2. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D. These four holes must be used for mounting. If the holes are not used, the installation will not be secure. Installer must use these holes for proper installation. Use toggle screws these holes unless one of them lines up with a stud. Use lag screws for studs.

NOTE: Draw a fifth circle inside area E, through one of the bottom holes to match the location of a stud.

For wall-venting: The oven requires a rear wall cutout opening for the rear wall duct and the exhaust adaptor must be attached to the mounting plate. Go to step 11 on how to prepare the rear wall cutout opening and the exhaust adaptor/mounting plate for wall-venting.

Set the mounting plate aside.

3. Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3/16” hole for lag screws. If there is no stud, drill a 3/4” hole for toggle screws. Make sure to use at least 1 lag screw in a stud, and 4 toggle screws in the drywall or the plaster.

Cut out or drill a 2" diameter hole at the area marked “M”, “power supply cord hole” on the upper cabinet template. If upper cabinet is metal, install power supply cord bushing around the edge of hole to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.

8.

Drill a 3/8" hole at points “J”, “K” and “N” on the upper cabinet template.

If bottom of upper cabinet is recessed, make 2 filler blocks as the size of the shaded areas G & H.

You may need to cut the filler block to fit inside upper cabinet frame.

Mark the cutout position on the filler blocks through the holes on the cabinet bottom and drill a 3/8" dia. holes at work in each block.

Place the filler blocks so that the hole in each block lines up with the 3/8" cutout in the bottom of the cabinet.

Tape filler blocks to cabinet bottom after template is removed.

Roof-venting location can be adjusted for a non-recessed cabinet.

To vent through the wall, go to next step.
