TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

HOOD EXHAUST

NOTE: Read these 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 6. Below are examples of Outside Top Exhaust and Outside Back Exhaust duct system layouts. Note the position of the microwave oven relative to the duct system.

OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES| EQUIVALENT LENGTH x
NUMBER USED  =| EQUIVALENT LENGTH
---|---|---
| Roof Cap| 24 Ft. x (1) =| 24 Ft.
| 12 Ft. Straight Duct (6² Round)| 12 Ft. x (1) =| 12 Ft.
*| Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adaptor| 5 Ft.  ** x (1) =| 5 Ft.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.
Total Length       =| 41 Ft.

*IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.

OUTSIDE BACK EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)

The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.

DUCT PIECES| EQUIVALENT NUMBER
LENGTH* x
USED =| EQUIVALENT LENGTH
---|---|---
| Wall Cap| 40 Ft. x (1) =| 40 Ft.
| 3 Ft . Straight Duct  (3 1⁄4″ x 10″  Rectangular)| 3 Ft. x (1) =| 3 Ft.
| 90° Elbow| 10 Ft. x (2) =| 20 Ft.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.
Total Length =| 63 Ft.

NOTE: For back exhaust, 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 the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
1” = 2.5 cm; 1’ = 0.3 m

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct length of 3 1⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular or 6″ diameter round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.
Read the following carefully:
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 hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 3 1⁄4″ 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 satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular 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 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 duct pieces.

DUCT PIECES| EQUIVALENT LENGTH x
NUMBER USED =| EQUIVALENT LENGTH
---|---|---
| Rectangular-to-Round Transition Adaptor*| 5 Ft.x (   ) =| Ft.
| Wall Cap| 40 Ft. x (   ) =| Ft.
| 90° Elbow| 10 Ft. x (   ) =| Ft.
| 45° Elbow| 5 Ft. x (   ) =| Ft.
| 90° Elbow| 25 Ft. x (   ) =| Ft.
| 45° Elbow| 5 Ft. x (   ) =| Ft.
| Roof Cap| 24 Ft. x (   ) =| Ft.
| Straight Duct 6² Round or 31⁄4² x 10² Rectangular| 1 Ft. x (   ) =| Ft.
Total Ductwork =| Ft.

• IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.
  Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any vent hood.

1. Open the box and fold back all four carton flaps fully against the carton sides. Remove the following items from the protective foam: installation instructions, filters, exhaust adaptor, damper, and the small hardware bag. Do not remove the foam protecting
   the front of the microwave oven.

2. Then carefully roll the microwave oven and carton over onto the top side. The microwave oven should be resting in the foam.

3. Pull the carton up and off the microwave oven.

4. The mounting plate is attached to the back of the microwave oven. Remove the two screws holding it to the microwave oven. The plate will be used as the rear wall template and for mounting the microwave oven to the wall.

5. Set the microwave oven upright . Remove and properly discard plastic bags and foam.

6. Open the microwave oven door and remove the plastic sheet and tape from inside the microwave oven door. Remove the tape covering the turntable hub.

**B**FINDING THE WALL STUDS

1. Find the studs, using one of the following methods:
   A. Stud finder.
   OR
   B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate a stud location.

2. After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud. Then place a mark halfway between the edges.
   The center of any adjacent studs should be 16″ or 24″ from this mark.

3. Draw a line down the center of the studs.
   IMPORTANT: The microwave must be connected to at least one wall stud.

C DETERMINING MOUNTING PLATE LOCATION UNDER YOUR CABINET

Plate Position – cabinet with front overhang

Your cabinets may have decorative trim that interferes with the microwave oven installation. You may need to remove the decorative trim to install the microwave oven properly and to make it level.
THE MICROWAVE OVEN MUST BE LEVEL.
Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom is level.  If the cabinets have a front overhang, install the mounting plate down the same distance as the front overhang depth. This will keep the microwave oven level.

1. Measure the inside depth of the front overhang.
2. Draw a horizontal line on the back wall an equal distance below the cabinet bottom as the inside depth of the front overhang.
3. For this type of installation with front overhang, align the mounting tabs with this horizontal line, not touching the cabinet bottom as described in Step D.

**D**  ALIGNING THE MOUNTING PLATE

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30″ wide space.

2. Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear wall.
   Place the mounting plate on the wall, making sure that the tabs are touching the bottom of the cabinet or the level line drawn in Step C for cabinets with front overhang. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.

3. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C, and D (see illustration above/actual plate marked with arrows) . Four holes must be used for mounting.
   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 microwave oven.
   Set the mounting plate aside.
   WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Take care to not drill into electrical wiring inside walls or cabinets.

4. drill a3⁄16″ hole for wood screws. For holes that don’t line up with a stud, Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 5 ⁄8″ hole for toggle bolts.
   NOTE: DO NOT MOUNT THE PLATE AT THIS TIME.
