STEP 2: PREPARE THE VENTING SYSTEM
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-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figures 6 (3
Figure 8 (6" round duct.)
Wall-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall of your house, as in Figure 5 (3
Figure 8 (6" round duct.)
Room-venting If 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.

REMEMBER AS YOU INSTALL THE
VENTING:
• Keep the length of the ductwork and the
number of elbows to a minimum to
ventilate your oven efficiently.
See examples on next page.
• Keep the size of the ductwork the same.
• Do not install two elbows together.
• Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct
system.
• Use caulking gun to seal the exterior wall
or roof opening around the cap.
