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 combination.
■
■ 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
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.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
