STEP 2: PREPARE THE VENTING SYSTEM

wCAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injury, property damage, or fire this microwave oven must be properly vented.

NOTE: The ductwork you need for outside ventilation is not included with your oven. The standard ductwork fittings and length are shown in Figure 9.

You may vent your oven in one of three ways. However, do NOT vent into a wall cavity, an attic, or an unused area.

Roof-ventingIf your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figures 6 (31/4" x 10" duct) and Figure 8 (6" round duct.)

Wall-ventingIf your oven is located on an outside wall of your house, as in Figure 5 (31/4" x 10" duct) and Figure 8 (6" round duct.)

Room-ventingIf your oven is located on an inside wall of your house, as in Figure 7.

NOTE: If you choose the rear exhaust method (roof-or wall-venting), be sure there is enough clearance within the wall for the exhaust duct.
