HOOD EXHAUST DUCT
Outside ventilation requires HOOD EXHAUST DUCT. Read the following carefully.
EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3 1/4" x 10" rect-
angular duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use
less than 6" diameter duct.
REAR EXHAUST: If rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, 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
wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 1/4" x 10" rectan-
gular or 6" diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
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 lengths of all straight duct
sections. The diagram below shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts. See Fig-
ure 2.

PREPARATION OF TOP CABINET AND WALL
Your Over-the-Range microwave oven should be mounted against and supported by a flat, vertical wall. Wall
construction should be a minimum ofT' x 4" wall studding and 3/8" or more, thick drywall or plaster/lath.
The oven must be attached to a minimum of one 2*"x 4" wall stud. See Figure 15.
1. To find studs, use 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 installation.
After locating the stud(s), the center can be found by: Probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of
the stud and then placing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs should be
16" or 24" from this mark.
16"OR24"
J 2"X 4"

2. Use rear mounting plate as template for rear wall. Draw a vertical line on wall at center of 30" wide
space. Place the bracket assembly on the wall, fitting upper tabs to the bottom of cabinet. Align the notch and
center line of the bracket assembly. See Figure 16.
3. While holding the rear mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at hole A and B, marked on
the rear mounting plate. (Holes A and B are shown by the arrows stamped into the rear mounting plate
and must he used for mounting). These holes are to be used for toggle bolts. Draw a third circle at hole C,
marked on the rear mounting plate to align with the stud.
NOTE: If stud does not align with hole C, select an alternate hole at the top rows or the bottom rows. Align
with the stud. If hole A or B aligns with a stud, use a wood screw instead of toggle bolt.
(For rear exhausting, draw additional small circles at four holes marked * on rear mounting plate).
4. Drill holes on circles. Diameter of holes should be 5/8" for toggle bolts on drywall only and 3/16" for
wood screws on studs.
5. For rear exhaust: Draw lines to connect four small circles (drawn at * marked holes) and cut wall along the
line to make rectangular opening for rear exhaust duct connection. See Figure 16.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
1. Make sure unit has been installed according to instructions.
2. Remove all packing material from the oven.
3. Replace house fuse or turn breaker back on.
4. Plug power cord into receptacle.
5. Read operating instructions.
6. KEEP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL INSPECTOR'S USE.
TEMPLATE
NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE TEMPLATE. THE TEM-
PLATE IS USED TO LOCATE THE POWER CORD CLEARANCE HOLE, CABINET MOUNTING
HOLES AND THE VERTICAL EXHAUST CUTOUT.
1. Determine if your cabinet has a recessed area or has a smooth, flat bottom. See Figure 3. If smooth, tape
template onto the bottom surface (Figure 1). If it is recessed, cut the edges of the template to fit in the
recessed bottom of wall cabinet. Follow directions below for cutting.
RECOMMENDED CUTTING PROCEDURE: Measure thickness of A, B, and C, cut the edge of the tem-
plate to allow for thickness, guideline is marked in 1/4" increments for your convenience.
NOTE: On some cabinets a small bracket or glue block is used between the overhang and the underside of the
cabinet bottom. Cut the template to fit around the bracket or glue block so that template will lie flat against
the cabinet. Tape the Top Cabinet Template to the underside of the top cabinet. See Figure 1.
2. Drill 1/2" diameter holes at D, E and F.
3. If your cabinet has a smooth, flat bottom, cut out the 1 3/4" diameter hole and the 4" x 3/4" slot at G so
that the power cord will not bind when sliding the oven onto the mounting plate. If your cabinet has a recessed
bottom, cut out only the ! 3/4" diameter hole at G for power cord. If cabinets are metal, use the grommet 5.
(See installation hardware in the Installation Instruction Sheet), to surround opening.
4. (SKIP FOR HORIZONTAL EXHAUST OR RECIRCULATING EXHAUST). Cut out shaded area K
through cabinet for Vertical Exhaust location. Exhaust location can be adjusted for a non-recessed cabinet.
5. Remove the top cabinet template.
6. For recessed cabinets, make 3 filler blocks the size of the shaded areas H, I and J, and drill 5/8" diameter
holes through D, E, and F. Place the blocks so that the holes in each block line up with the corresponding
holes in the cabinet. The filler hiocks should be at the same level as the bottom edge of the wall cabinet.
