Electrical Requirements

Required:
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit
breaker.

A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

This section is intended for architectural designer and builder/contractor
reference only.
NOTES:
If installing for recirculation, venting must be routed up and out through an
exhaust register (not provided) in a kitchen soffit. A charcoal filter kit (not
provided) should be used. See "Assistance" section for information on ordering.
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.
For optimal venting installation, we recommend:
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
for optimal hood performance, do not install 2 elbows together
If rectangular to round transition is used, be sure there is at least 3" (7.6 cm) of
clearance between the top of the damper assembly and the transition piece. See
"Rectangular to Round Transition" illustration.
