VENTING DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

B C

A B C

D E F G

This section is intended for architectural designer and builder/ contractor reference only.

NOTES:

■ Vent materials needed for installation are not provided

with microwave hood combination.

■ We do not recommend using a ﬂexible metal vent.

■ To avoid possible product damage, be sure to vent air

outside, unless using recirculation installation. Do not vent exhaust air into concealed spaces, such as spaces within walls or ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

For optimal venting installation, we recommend:

■ using roof or wall caps that have back draft dampers

■ using a rigid metal vent

■ using the most direct route by minimizing the length of the

vent and number of elbows to provide efﬁcient performance

■ using uniformly sized vents

■ using duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system

■ using caulking compound to seal exterior wall or roof opening

around cap

■ not installing 2 elbows together, for optimal hood

performance

If venting through the wall, be sure that there is proper clearance within the wall for the damper to open fully.

If venting through the roof, and rectangular to round transition is used, be sure there is at least 3" (7.6 cm) of clearance between the top of the microwave oven and the transition piece. See “Rectangular to Round Transition” illustration.
