Electrical: 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only. AMV5206BA requires 15-amps and
1.7 kilowatts and AMV6167BD requires 13-amps and 1.5 kilowatts.
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 20 amp
branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box should be located in

CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS
A 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) round vent should
be used.
The total length of the vent system including straight vent, elbow(s),
transitions and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 ft
(42.7 m) for either type of vent.
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.
For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent length
for each vent piece used in the system. See the following examples:

* 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.

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

NOTES:
• The space between the cabinets must be 30" (76.2 cm) wide
and free of obstructions.
• This microwave oven is for installation over ranges up to 33"
(83.8 cm) wide.
• If you are going to vent your microwave oven to the outside,
see Venting Requirements for exhaust duct preparation.
• When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth flat
cabinets be careful to follow the instructions on the top
cabinet template for power cord clearance.
