IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product requires a three-prong grounded outlet.
The installer must perform a ground continuity check
on the power outlet box before beginning the
installation to insure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. If not properly grounded, or if the outlet
box does not meet electrical requirements noted
(under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a qualified
electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
CAUTION: For personal
safety, remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before
beginning installation to
avoid severe or fatal shock
injury.
CAUTION: For personal safety, the mounting
surface must be capable of supporting the
cabinet load, in addition to the added weight of
this 59 pound product, plus additional oven loads
of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of 109
pounds.
CAUTION: For personal safety, this product
cannot be installed in cabinet arrangements such
as an island or a peninsula. It must be mounted to
BOTH a top cabinet AND a wall.
NOTE: For easier installation and personal
safety, it is recommended that two people install
this product.
IMPORTANT–PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE OR
FATAL SHOCK.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped
with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which
mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
You should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is very important to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle, installed by a qualified
electrician.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,
DEFORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THE PRONGS
FROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60 Hertz, 13.5 amps
and 1.58 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 15 ampere
branch circuit single grounded outlet. The outlet box
should be located in the cabinet above the
microwave oven. The outlet box and supply circuit
should be installed by a qualified electrician and
conform to the National Electrical Code or the
prevailing local code.

HOOD EXHAUST
NOTE: Read these next two pages only if you plan to vent your exhaust to the outside. If you plan to
recirculate the air back into the room, proceed to page 11.
OUTSIDE TOP EXHAUST (EXAMPLE ONLY)
The following chart describes an example of one possible ductwork installation.
* IMPORT ANT: If a rectangular-to-round transit ion adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have
to be cut to fit, using the 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 b e
prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate
exhaust.

NOTE: If you need to install ducts, note that the total
duct length of 3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter
round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
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.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a
standard 3¼" 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
3¼" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct
should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof
caps, 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 length
using the approximate feet of equivalent length of
some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to round transition adaptor is used, the
bottom corners of the damper will
have to be cut to fit, using the tin
snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual
tests and reflect requirements for good venting
performance with any vent hood.
