For ventless installation, Kit RCH3630 must be installed.

*When installing the Microshelf Hood in a ventless

installation, this dimension is 16%“. See the instructions with the ventless kit (RCH3630) for details.

CAUTION: Due to the amount of weight the Microshelf Hood must support, you must make sure the Microshelf Hood is mounted to 2 vertical wall studs and into the wall covering which must be at least %” thick sheet rock, with 4 wall anchor bolts.

2.If the Microshelf Hood is mounted to a wall that

does not meet the above recommendations, the weight of the microwave oven may cause the Microshelf Hood to pull away from the wall resulting in personal injury or property damage.

Page 2

NOTE: If the Microshelf Hood is to be installed above a freestanding range, disconnect the power from the range and move the range out of the opening in the cabinets. This will allow for more access to the installation area.

If installing the Microshelf Hood above a built-in cooktop or set-in range, lay a protective cover over the cooktop during the installation. This may help prevent damage to the cooktop (in case you drop something) and it will prevent dust and dirt from accumulating on the cooktop during installation.

3.Mark a line on the back wall 15” down from the upper cabinets 30” long centered between theside cabinets or allotted space. See Figure 3.

4.Locate the 2 wall studs in the area you have

selected for mounting the microwaveoven. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO LOCATE A WALL

STUD, CONSULT A LOCAL BUILDING CONTRACTOR FOR HELP.

NOTE: If 2 studs are not located on the line drawn in Figure 3, DO NOT attempt to install the shelf hood.

5.Line the top of the hanging bracket up with the line drawn on the wall in Figure 3. Move the bracket to the left or right within the allotted 30”space until the center line of the 2 studs line up with 4 holes in the hanging bracket. Neither edge of the bracket should be closer than l/2” to the side cabinets or the end of the 30” allotted space. (See Figure 4).

6.Mark and drill four 3/16 dia. pilot holes in the studs for the l/4” dia. x 2” long lag bolts provided.
