Installation Instructions
NOTE:If you need to install ducts, note that the total duct
length of 3V4" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 140equivalent feet.
Outside ventilation requires a HOODEXHAUSTDUCT.
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 freelg
and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Exhuust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
a standard IVy" x 10" rectangular duct.
If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of
5V4"x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should
not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Elbows, trensitions, well end roof ceps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent
to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual
physical size.When calculating the total duct length, add
the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus
the length of all straight duct sections. The chart below
shows you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork

Fold back all 4 carton flaps fully against carton sides.
Then carefully roll the oven and carton over onto
the top side.The oven should be resting inthe

[_] Findthe studs, using one of the following methods:
A. Stud finder - a magnetic device which locates nails.
OR
B. Usea hammer to tap lightly across the mounting
surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate
a stud location.
[_] After locating the stud(s),find the center by probing
the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud.
Then place a mark halfway between the edges.
The center of any adjacent studs should be 16" or 24"
from this mark.
[_] Draw a line down the center of the studs.

Use a level to make sure the cabinet bottom islevel.
If the cabinets have a front overhang only, with no back

distance as the front overhang depth. Thiswill keep
the oven level.
[] Measure the insidedepth of the front overhang.
