General information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check on
the power outlet box before beginning the installation
to insure that the outlet box is properly grounded. If
not properly grounded, or if the outlet box does not
meet electrical requirements noted (under ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS), a qualified electrician should be
employed to correct any deficiencies.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use
CAUTION: For personal
safety, remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to
avoid severe or fatal shock
injury.
CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting
surface must be capable of supporting the cabinet
load, in addition to the added weight of this 69
pound product, plus additional oven loads of up to
50 pounds or a total weight of 109 pounds.
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cannot
be installed in cabinet arrangements such as an
island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to BOTH
a top cabinet AND a wall.
NOTE: For easier installation and personal safety,
it is recommended that two people install this
product.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR
FATAL SHOCK.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use
Insure proper
ground exists
before use.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding) wall
receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
If you have a standard two-prong wall receptacle,
it is very important to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle,
installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH AN
EXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz. This product
must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper
voltage and frequency. Wire size must conform to the
requirements of the National Electrical Code or the
prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The power
supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate
branch circuit single grounded outlet of at least 15 A
and max of 20 A. 20 A is recommended for multifamily
buildings. The outlet box should be located in the
cabinet above the microwave oven. The outlet box and
supply circuit should be installed by a qualified electrician
and conform to the National Electrical Code or the
prevailing local code.

General information
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 11.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart contains 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
(6˝ 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 contains an example of one possible ductwork installation.
DUCT PIECES EQUIVALENT
LENGTH x NUMBER USED = EQUIVALENT LENGTH
Wall Cap 40 ft. x (1) = 40 ft.
3 Ft. Straight Duct
(3 ¼˝ 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 the exhaust with the space between studs, or the wall should be
prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
HOOD EXHAUST

General information
NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 3 ¼˝ 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 ¼˝ 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
3 ¼˝ 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 equivalent length in feet of some
typical ducts.
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 6˝ Round or 3
¼˝ x 10˝ 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 tin snips, in order to allow free
movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based
on actual tests and reflect the requirements
for good venting performance with any vent
hood.
