VENTING DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

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 backdraft 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 are 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.

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.

The following length equivalents are for use when figuring vent length.

E. Wall cap: 3¹⁄₄" x 10" = 40 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm = 12.2 m)
F. 45° elbow: 6" = 5 ft (15.2 cm = 1.5 m)
G. 90° flat elbow: 3¹⁄₄" x 10" = 10 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm = 3 m)
