Installation Guide
IMPORTANT–Please Read and Follow!
• Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Built-In Microwave Hood. Two people are
recommended to install this product.
• If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electrician before the
Built-In Microwave Hood is installed. See ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.
Open the bottom of the carton, bend the carton flaps
back and tilt the oven over to rest on plastic foam pad.
Lift carton off oven and remove all packing materials,
Wall and Top Cabinet Template, Turntable, and Turntable
Support. SAVE THE CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE
INSTALLATION EASIER.
• Remove the feature sticker from the outside of the
door, if there is one.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which
is located on the right side wall of the oven cavity.
Check to see that there is a Wall Template and Top
Cabinet Template. Read enclosures and SAVE the Use
and Care manual.
Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or
bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces,
broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents
inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage,
do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

INSTRUCTIONS
This Built-in Microwave Hood should be mounted against
and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be
flat for proper installation. If the wall is not flat, use
spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be
a minimum of 2” x 4” wood studding and 3/8” or more
thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must
be capable of supporting a weight of 110 pounds—the
oven and contents—AND the weight of all items which
would normally be stored in the top cabinet above the
unit. The unit should be attached to a minimum of one
2” x 4” wall stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following
methods may be used:
• Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the
nails in the stud.
• Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting
surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud
location.
The center of the stud can be located 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 will normally be 16” or 24”
to either side of this mark.
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE
THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to
a separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch
circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle
should be located inside the cabinet directly above the
Built-in Microwave Hood mounting location as shown in
figure 2.
NOTE:
• If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician
or serviceperson.
• Neither Viking Range, LLC nor the dealer can accept
any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical
connection procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the Built-in
Microwave Hood to your radio or TV, check that the oven
is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV
as far away from the oven as feasible or check position
and signal of receiving antenna.

When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust
duct is required. All ductwork must be metal; absolutely
do not use plastic duct. Check that all connections are
made securely. Please read the following carefully:
EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has
been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4" x 10"
rectangular duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-
to-round adapter must be used.
REAR EXHAUST: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be
used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the
space between the 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"
rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should not exceed
140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present
additional resistance to air flow and are equivalent to a
section of straight duct which is longer than their actual
physical size. When calculating the total length, add the
equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters plus
the length of all straight duct sections. Figure 3shows
the approximate feet of equivalent length of some
typical ductwork parts. Use the values in parentheses for
calculating air flow resistance equivalent, which should
total less than 140 feet.
