To be used when 
the microwave oven 
cannot be vented to

HOOD EXHAUST DUCT: Outside ventilation requires a HOOD 
EXHAUST DUCT. Read the following carefully.
EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate 
with a standard 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a 
rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 
6" diameter duct
REAR EXHAUST: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, 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.
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 equivalent feet.
ELBOWS, TRANSITIONS, WALL AND ROOF CAPS, etc., present 
additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight 
duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total 
duct length, add the equivalent length of all transitions and adaptors plus the 
lengths of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows the approximate 
feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
