CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS

A 3

¹⁄₄

" 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.
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.

For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent length
for each vent piece used in the system. See the following examples:

* IMPORTANT:

If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have

to be cut to fit, using 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 be

prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate
exhaust.

NOTES:

• The space between the cabinets must be 30" (76.2 cm) wide and free

of obstructions.

• This microwave oven is for installation over ranges up to 33" (83.8 cm)
wide.

• If you are going to vent your microwave oven to the outside, see

Venting Requirements for exhaust duct preparation.

•

When installing the microwave oven beneath smooth flat cabinets be
careful to follow the instructions on the top cabinet template for
power cord clearance.
