II. VENTED INSTALLATION
For ventless installation, Kit RCH3630 must be
installed.
A. Assembling and Installing to Wall
1. Select the area for installation, making sure
you have an electrical supply available. See the
shaded area in Figure 3. This is the area the
ON BACK WALL
electrical supply must enter.
ELECTRICAL
INLET AREA \
Figure 3
*When installing the Microshelf Hood in a ventless
installation, this dimension is 16%“. See the
instructions with the ventless kit (RCH3630) for
details.
CAUTION: Due to the amount of weight the
Microshelf Hood must support, you must make
sure the Microshelf Hood is mounted to 2 vertical
wall studs and into the wall covering which must be
at least %” thick sheet rock, with 4 wall anchor
bolts.
2. If the Microshelf Hood is mounted to a wall that
does not meet the above recommendations, the
weight of the microwave oven may cause the
Microshelf Hood to pull away from the wall
resulting in personal injury or property damage.
NOTE: If the Microshelf Hood is to be installed
above a freestanding range, disconnect the power
from the range and move the range out of the
opening in the cabinets. This will allow for more
access to the installation area.
If installing the Microshelf Hood above a built-in
cooktop or set-in range, lay a protective cover over
the cooktop during the installation. This may help
prevent damage to the cooktop (in case you drop
something) and it will prevent dust and dirt from
accumulating on the cooktop during installation.
3. Mark a line on the back wall 15” down from the
upper cabinets 30” long centered between theside
cabinets or allotted space. See Figure 3.
4. Locate the 2 wall studs in the area you have
selected for mounting the microwaveoven. IF YOU
DO NOT KNOW HOW TO LOCATE A WALL
STUD, CONSULT A LOCAL BUILDING
CONTRACTOR FOR HELP.
NOTE: If 2 studs are not located on the line drawn
in Figure 3, DO NOT attempt to install the shelf
hood.
5. Line the top of the hanging bracket up with the
line drawn on the wall in Figure 3. Move the bracket
to the left or right within the allotted 30”space until
the center line of the 2 studs line up with 4 holes in
the hanging bracket. Neither edge of the bracket
should be closer than l/2” to the side cabinets or the
end of the 30” allotted space. (See Figure 4).
6. Mark and drill four 3/16 dia. pilot holes in the
studs for the l/4” dia. x 2” long lag bolts provided.

10. Attach hanging bracket to the wall with the
four screws taken from the anchor bolts. Tighten
the screws in the anchor bolts until the anchor
bolts are completely set.
11. Install four remaining ‘/4” dia. lag bolts
through the hanging bracket and into the two
studs.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the lag screws. If
they are overtightened, the bracket may pull into
the wall material which will not allow the shelf to
slide into place properly.
12. The hole in the bottom of the cabinet (for the
duct provided with the hood) should be cut as
shown in Figure 6 (15%” long by 1%” deep). Hole
must be cut to back wall. Make sure to center the
hole within the 30” allotted space.

13. Rough wire the electrical supply to the area
shown in Figure 3.
14. Hang the shelf hood on the hanging bracket.
(See Figure 10). To be sure theshelf hood hanging
angle is completely engaged in the hanging
bracket, measure from the top of the shelf hood to
the top of the hanging bracket. This distance
should be l-7/16” on both ends.
CAUTION: Do not continue until both ends
measure l-7/16”. If the hanging angle is not fully
engaged in the hanging bracket, the Microshelf
Hood will not be level and the hood may become
dislodged from the hanging bracket. This could
cause damage.
15. Complete the duct work by:
A. Fit the duct provided with the Microshelf
Hood on to the vent outlet of the Microshelf
hood.
B. Mark and drill (2) %” dia. holes (1 each
side) to fasten the thin duct provided with the
hood to the back wall. See Figure 7.
C. Use 2 #8 x VI” long screws provided with
the unit to fasten the narrow thin duct to the
shelf. See Figure 7.
D. Next install the transition adaptor to the
thin duct.
This transition adaptor will accept 3%” x 10”
duct.
E. Complete the 3%” x 10” duct (or
equivalent) to the outside using the
guidelines listed under venting requirements.
