VENTING REQUIREMENTS

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.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS (cont.)

Rectangular to Round Transition NOTE:

The minimum 3" (7.6 cm) clearance must exist between the top of the microwave oven and the rectangular to round transition piece so that the damper can open freely and fully.

Recommended Standard Fittings

The following length equivalents are for use when figuring vent length. See the examples in “Recommended Vent Length.”

Recommended Vent Length

A 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) round vent should be used.

The total length of the vent system including straight vent, elbow(s), transitions and wall or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 ft (42.7 m) for either type of vent. See “Recommended Standard Fittings” section for equivalent lengths.

For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent lengths of each

vent piece used in the system. See the following examples:

If the existing vent is round, a rectangular to round transition piece must be used. In addition, a rectangular 3" (7.6 cm) extension vent between the damper assembly and rectangular to round transition piece must be installed to keep the damper from sticking.
