reference only.
NOTES:

 

■

Vent materials needed for installation are not provided with microwave 

hood combination.

 

■

We do not recommend using a flexible metal vent.

 

■

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.

 

■

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.
