NOTE: For ha('k exhaust, care should he taken to align exhaust with spa(e hetween studs, or wall should he prepared

Installation Instructions

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total

duct length of 3V/' x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round

duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet (42.67 m).

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST

DU(T. Read the follo_dng carefiflly.

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed using

the most direct route and with as tew elbows as possible.

This ensures cleat 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 mate with a

standard 3V/' x 10" rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than

a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisLt{ to D air movement, the total du{t length of

3]/, " x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should

not exceed 140 equivalent feet (42.67 m).

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,

etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are

equiwtlent 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 duclwork length using the

approximate teet of equivalent length of some typical

ducts.

NOTE: Holes C and D are inside area E. If neither

C nor D is in a stud, find a stud somewhere in area E

and draw a fifth circle to line up with the stud. It is

important to use at least one wood screw mounted

firmly in a stud to support the weight of the inicrowave.

Set the mounting plate aside.

Drill holes on the drcles. If there is a stud, drill a _)&_"
