Recommended standard fittings

If the existing vent is round, a rectangular-

to-round adapter must be used and a

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.

Recommended vent length

A 3-

¹⁄₄

" x 10" (8.3 x 24.5 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm)

round vent should be used. The total length of the vent

system including straight vent, elbow, transitions, wall or

roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 feet

(42.7 m) for either type of vent. For best performance, use

no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of

system you need, add the equivalent feet for each vent

piece used in the system. See examples below.

NOTE:

There must be

at least one wall stud

within cabinet

opening.

CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS

For wall or roof venting methods:

If the wall exhaust method is chosen, be sure that

there is proper clearance within the wall for the

exhaust vent.

Wall and roof caps must have back-draft damper.

We recommend:

✔

using rigid metal vent.

✔

that length of vent and number of elbows should

be kept to a minimum to provide efficient

performance.

✔

that size of vent should be uniform.

✔

using duct tape to seal all joints in the vent

system.

✔

using caulking compound to seal exterior wall or

roof opening around cap.

✔

two elbows should not be installed together.

We do NOT recommend:

✔

flexible metal vent.

NOTE:

If flexible metal vent must be used, calculate

each foot of flexible metal vent as two feet of rigid

metal vent. Flexible metal elbows count twice as

much as standard elbows.
