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

A. OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (VERTICAL DUCT)

B. OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (HORIZONTAL DUCT)

C . RECIRCULATING (NON-VENTED DUCTLESS)Models are shipped for recirculating exhaust.
These 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 ” (15.2 cm) diameter round duct Outside ventilation requires an EXTERNAL EXHAUST
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 3 ⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round 1(12.5” should not exceed 120 equivalent feet (36.5 m).7 cm)
DUCT.Read the following carefully. diameter/ 6 transition adaptor must be used. diameter duct is acceptable to use.” A 5 (12.7cm)/ 6″ (15.2cm) ”
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3 (12.5” 1 ⁄4” x 10” (8.2 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6 ”(15.2 cm) diameter/ 7 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.
