Viking VMOR205SS Installation
CONVECTION MICROWAVE HOOD
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Convection Microwave Hood. 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
Convection Microwave Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.
1 MOUNTING SPACE
This Convection Microwave 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.
For proper installation and servicing, a 2-inch space is
necessary between the top of the range backguard and
the bottom of the Convection Microwave Hood.

2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Convection Microwave Hood should be mounted
against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall
must be flat for proper installation. If the wall is not
flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction
should be a minimum of 2” x 4” wood studding and
3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of supporting a weight of
110 pounds—the oven 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 or two 2" x 3" wall studs.
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 event 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 NOT 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 Convection Microwave Hood 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 Viking 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 rectangularto-round adapter must be used.
Rear exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be
used, care should be taken to align the exhaust 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.

7 VENTILATION SYSTEM (PREPARING OVEN FOR INSTALLATION)
This Convection Microwave Hood is designed for adaptation to three types of hood ventilation systems.
Select the type required for your installation.
Recirculating — non-vented, ductless. Follow instal-
lation procedure (A). Recirculating requires the use
of the Charcoal Filter, which has been installed in the
oven.
Horizontal Exhaust — outside ventilation. Follow
installation procedure (B).
Vertical Exhaust — outside ventilation. Follow instal-
lation procedure (C).
(A) RECIRCULATING:
NON-VENTED, DUCTLESS OPERATION
1. The unit is shipped assembled for recirculating.
2. The Exhaust Damper Assembly is not required for
recirculating exhaust.
3. Charcoal Filter, included with the unit, is required for
recirculating exhaust.
(B) HORIZONTAL EXHAUST:
OUTSIDE VENTILATION
1. Remove and save 4 screws. Remove fan cover bracket
as shown in Figure 5.
2. Withdraw hood fan unit carefully and slip wires out
of wire box. See Fig 6. Rotate hood fan unit 180˚ so
that exhaust ports are facing rear of oven unit. See
Fig 7.
CAUTION: Do not pull or stretch hood fan wiring.
3. Replace hood fan unit into the oven unit. Be careful
not to pinch the lead wire between the inner bracket
and the hood fan unit.
4. Put the lead wire into wire box.
5. Replace the fan cover bracket. Make sure the fan
blades are visible through the rear openings in the
oven before proceeding. Attach fan cover bracket
to unit with 4 screws. See Fig 8. The hood fan unit is
now rotated for horizontal exhaust operation.
6. Attach the Exhaust Damper Assembly to the back of
the mounting plate by sliding it into the slits in the
same direction as the arrow. See Fig 9. Using Tapping
Screw 4x12 from the INSTALLATION HARDWARE,
tighten into place.

7 VENTILATION SYSTEM (PREPARING OVEN FOR INSTALLATION)
(C) VERTICAL EXHAUST:
OUTSIDE VENTILATION
1. Remove and save 4 screws and fan cover bracket as
shown in Figure 5.
2. Withdraw hood fan unit. See Fig. 6.
3. Rotate hood fan unit 90˚ so that the fan blade openings are facing the top of the oven.
4. Replace hood fan unit into oven unit as shown in
Figure 10.
5. Put the lead wire into the box.
6. Replace the fan cover bracket. If the cover does not
fit properly, the hood fan unit is improperly placed.
Check steps 3 and 4 again.
7. Attach the fan cover bracket to the oven unit.
8. Attach the Exhaust Damper Assembly to the fan
cover on the top of the outercase cabinet by sliding
it into the slits in the same direction as the arrow
mark. Tapping Screw 4x12 from the INSTALLATION
HARDWARE, tighten into place. See Fig. 11.
