Step 2: Prepare The Venting System - Amana MVH140E Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

STEP 2: PREPARE THE VENTING SYSTEM

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
10" duct) and 8 (6" round duct.)
Wall-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall of your house, as in Figure 5 (3
duct) and 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.
