MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
VENTING DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
This section is intended for architectural designer and builder/contractor reference only.
NOTES:
• Vent materials needed for installation are not provided with
microwave hood.
We do not recommend using a flexible metal vent.
Toavoid possible product damage, be sure to vent air outside,
unless using ventless (recirculating) 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.

Ifthe 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.

G. 90 ° flat elbow: 3¼" x 10" = 10 ft (8.3 x 25.4 cm = 3 m)
Recommended Vent Length
A 3W' 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.
Tocalculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent
lengths of each vent piece used in the system. See the following
examples:

Special Requirements
For Wall Venting Installation Only:
• The 12" x 4" (30.5 x 10.2 cm) cutout area must align with the
rectangular hole in the mounting plate.
• Cutout must be free of any obstructions so that the vent tube
fits properly, and the damper blade opens freely and fully.

• If using rectangular to round transition piece, the 3" (7.6 cm)
clearance needs to exist above the microwave oven so that
the damper blade can open freely and fully. See "Rectangular
to Round Transition" illustration in "Venting Design

Materials needed
• Standard fittings for wall or roof venting. See "Venting Design
Specifications" section.
Check the opening where the microwave oven will be installed.
The location must provide:
• Minimum installation dimensions. See "Installation
Dimensions" illustration.
• Minimum one 2" x 4" (50.8 x 101.6 mm) wood wall stud and
minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) thickness drywall or plaster/lath within

• Support for weight of 150 Ibs (68 kg), which includes
microwave oven and items placed inside the microwave oven
and upper cabinet.
• Grounded electrical outlet inside upper cabinet. See
"Electrical Requirements" section.
NOTES:
• If installing the microwave oven near a left sidewall, make sure *_
there is at least 6" (15.2 cm) of clearance between the wall and
the microwave oven, so that the door can open fully.
• Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to 16w'
withstand the heat produced by the microwave oven for (41.3cm)
cooking. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make |
sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or
sustain other damages.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
[] A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply
with a fuse or circuit breaker.
Recommended:
[] A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
[] A separate circuit serving only this appliance.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
[] For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
