KitchenAid 1000-Watt Microwave with 7 Sensor Functions - 30" Guia Da Instalação

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.

 

■

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.

NOTE: The 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.

The following length equivalents are for use when figuring vent 

length. See the examples in “Recommended Vent Length.”
