MICROWAVE OVEN / HOOD SYSTEM

INST ALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS

Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Range Microwave Oven/Hood System. 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
Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.

1 MOUNTING SPACE

This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on
a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with
standard 12-inch wall cabinets.

12"

Backsplash

At least 2"

30"

15.5"

Epicure range - 36" or
more from cooking
surface with deflector.
Preference range - 36" or
more without deflector
and 34" with deflector.

Epicure range - 72" or
more from the floor
with deflector.
Preference range - 72"
or more without

2 WALL CONSTRUCTION

This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for proper
installation. If the w all is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. W all construction should be a minimum of 2” x 4” wood studding and
3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surf aces must be capab le of supporting weight of 110 pounds—the ov en
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:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.
B. 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.

3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 e vent 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 NO T UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN
FROM THE PLUG.

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 Microwave Oven mounting location as shown in Figure 2.

NOTE:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instruc­tions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.

2. Neither Dacor 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.

4 HOOD EXHAUST DUCT

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 e xhaust is to be used, care should be tak en to align the e xhaust 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 3 shows 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.
