11.To prepare the rear wall cutout

opening and exhaust Adaptor/mounting plate for wall-venting:

1. Place the mounting plate against the rear wall.

2. Using a pencil, put dots through slots F and G, and through holes H and I. Remove the mounting plate and draw lines extending through the points. This will give the location and size of the box cutout for the rear wall duct.

• Attach the exhaust adaptor to the rear

mounting plate by sliding it into the guides at the top center of the plate on the wall side. Push in securely until it is past the top locking tabs and in the lower locking tabs. Take care to assure the damper hinge is installed so that it is at the top and that the damper swings freely.

• Carefully guide the exhaust adaptor, now

attached to the mounting plate, into the house duct, before using the screws to attach the plate to the wall. This will assure proper alignment for installation.

12. Insert lag Screws (into wall stud) or

toggle bolts (through drywall) through the holes on the mounting plate at holes “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” and “E”.

Attach a spring toggle head to the end of each toggle screw. Leave at least one wall thickness of space between the mounting plate and the end of the spring toggle head so that the spring toggle head can properly open on the other side of the wall.

13.

Position mounting plate on the wall making sure that top of mounting plate is against bottom of cabinet or bottom of cabinet frame. Start the lag screws through the wall-stud holes and/or insert toggle screws and spring toggle heads through drywall holes. Tighten screws to secure mounting plate to wall. Check that center of plate is secured to wall.

14.Slide washer

onto holding pin and set inside upper cabinet.

15.Carefully lift microwave oven hood

and hang it on support tabs at the bottom of the mounting plate. Thread power supply cord through the power supply cord hole in the bottom of the upper cabinet.

16.Rotate

microwave oven hood upward so that top of hood is against bottom of upper cabinet or cabinet frame.

17.Drop the holding

pin and washer assembly into hole “N” and push pin down as far as it will go.

18.Place washers over two, 1/4” x2” or 3”

screws. Then insert a screw down through each hole in the upper cabinet bottom. Tighten the screws until the gap between the upper cabinet and microwave oven hood is closed.

19.Remove holding pin and washer and

store for possible future need. If wall venting or ventless installation is used, go to Step 22.

20.Roof-venting installation: Align the

damper/duct connector with the vent on top of the microwave oven hood. Damper should be on top of tab. Use one tapping screws (bright-colored) to attach damper/duct connector to the microwave oven hood. Note: Damper/duct connector must be attached to microwave oven hood after microwave oven hood is installed.

21.Roof-venting installation: Install duct

through the vent opening in the upper cabinet. Complete the venting system through the roof according to the method needed. See “Venting requirements” and “Venting preparation”, Panels B and C. Use caulking to seal exterior roof opening around exhaust cap.

22.Install power supply cord clamp, using

screw (dark-colored) as shown in Step 21, to inside of the cabinet. Use power supply cord clamp to bundle the power supply cord.

23.Grasp filter screen with one hand

holding the ring and the other hand holding the opposite end. Insert the end of the filter screen without ring into the opening and slide towards the center of the microwave oven hood. Insert ring end of filter screen into the opening and slide entire screen towards the front side of the microwave oven hood until screen is securely in position. Repeat for other filter screen

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Electrical ground is

required. See “Electrical requirements.” Panel B.

Remove all contents from

the upper cabinet.

5.Measure the bottom of the upper

cabinet frame. Trim the edges “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” on the upper cabinet template so that the template will fit on the bottom of the upper cabinet. If upper cabinet has a recessed frame, trim template so that it fits inside the recessed area. Align the centerline of the upper cabinet template with the centerline of the mounting plate; then securely tape or tack the upper cabinet template in place.

6.THE OVEN MUST BE CONNECTED TO AT

LEAST ONE WALL STUD.

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall at the center of the 30” wide space.

Use the mounting plate as the template for the rear wall. Place the mounting plate on

the wall, making sure that the tabs are against the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the notch and center line on the mounting plate to the center line on the wall.

2. While holding the mounting plate with one hand, draw circles on the wall at holes A, B, C and D. These four holes must be used for mounting. If the holes are not used, the installation will not be secure. Installer must use these holes for proper installation. Use toggle screws these holes unless one of them lines up with a stud. Use lag screws for studs. NOTE: Draw a fifth circle inside area E, through one of the bottom holes to match the location of a stud.

Set the mounting plate aside.

3. Drill holes on the circles. If there is a stud, drill a 3/16” hole for lag screws. If there is no stud, drill a 3/4” hole for toggle screws. Make sure to use at least 1 lag screw in a stud, and 4 toggle screws in the drywall or the plaster.

7.Cut out or drill a 2" diameter hole at the

area marked “M”, “power supply cord hole” on the upper cabinet template. If upper cabinet is metal, install power supply cord bushing around the edge of hole to prevent damage to the cord from the rough metal edge.

8.Drill a 3/8" hole at points “J”, “K” and “N”

on the upper cabinet template. If bottom of upper cabinet is recessed, make 2 filler blocks as the size of the shaded areas G & H. You may need to cut the filler block to fit inside upper cabinet frame. Mark the cutout position on the filler blocks through the holes on the cabinet bottom and drill a 3/8" dia. holes at work in each block. Place the filler blocks so that the hole in each block lines up with the 3/8" cutout in the bottom of the cabinet. Tape filler blocks to cabinet bottom after template is removed.

9.If ventless (recirculating) and wall venting

installation are: Remove the upper-cabinet template.

10.For ventless installations, go to Step 12.

To vent through the roof, cut out the rectangular area marked “L”on the upper cabinet template, go to step 12. Roof-venting location can be adjusted for a non-recessed cabinet.

To vent through the wall, go to next step.

Panel C

Electrical requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure microwave oven hood is properly grounded. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical supply (located in the upper cabinet as close as possible to the microwave oven hood) is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Recommended ground method

For your personal safety, this microwave oven hood must be grounded. This microwave oven hood is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong ground-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition (*, see Panel A), and all local codes and ordinances. (See Figure 1.) If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Venting requirements

Duct needed for Installation is not included. Wall and roof caps used must have back-draft damper. Use metal duct only. Rigid metal duct is recommended.

Flexible metal duct is Not recommended. If flexible metal duct is used, calculate each foot of flexible metal duct as two feet of straight metal duct. Flexible metal elbows count twice as much as standard elbows.

Determine which venting method (roofventing or wall-venting) you need to use. This microwave oven hood is equipped for ventless (recirculating) installation.

The length of the duct and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of duct should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around cap. Figures 2-5 show common venting methods and types of materials needed.

Note: If wall-venting method is chosen, be sure that there is proper clearance within the wall for the exhaust duct.

Recommended duct length

Use 3-1/4" x 10" or 6" duct. The total length of the duct system including straight duct, elbow, transitions, wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet of 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct. For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each duct piece used in the system. See the following examples:

3-1/4" x 10" duct system

6" duct system

Recommended standard fittings

If the existing duct is round, a rectangular-toround adapter must be used and a rectangular 3" extension duct between the damper assembly and the adapter must be installed to prevent sticking of the exhaust damper.

Panel B

Electrical Shock Hazard Electrically ground microwave oven hood. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

W ARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Do not pull or stretch blower wiring. Reinsert wires into clips before reinstalling blower unit into microwave oven hood. Failure to do so could result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

W ARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Take special care when drilling holes into the wall. Electrical wires may be concealed behind the wall covering, and contact with them could result in death or serious injury.

For wall-venting: The oven requires a rear wall cutout opening for the rear wall duct and the exhaust adaptor must be attached to the mounting plate. Go to step 11 on how to prepare the rear wall cutout opening and the exhaust adaptor/mounting plate for wall-venting.

W ARNING

Fire Hazard Venting system must terminate to the outside. Do Not terminate the duct in an attic or other enclosed space. Do Not use four-inch laundry-type wall caps. Do Not use plastic duct. Failure to follow recommended venting procedures may result in a fire.

CAUTION: To r educe risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do Not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
