Hood Exhaust Duct; Tools Recommended For Installation - DCS CMOH-30SS Installation Instructions Manual

with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by provid-
ing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM
THE PLUG.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC,
60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded
receptacle. The receptacle should be located inside the
cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven/Hood mount-
ing location.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or
serviceperson.
2. Neither Fisher & Paykel nor the dealer can accept
any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical
connection procedures.

4. HOOD EXHAUST DUCT

When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is required. All ductwork must be metal; absolute-
ly do not use plastic duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:
EXHAUST CONNECTION: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4" x 10" rectangu-
lar duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.
REAR EXHAUST: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with
the space between the studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space
between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
MAXIMUM DUCT LENGTH: For satisfactory air
movement, the total duct length of 3-1/4" x 10"
rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should not
exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall, roof caps, etc. present
additional resistance to air flow and are equiva-
lent to a section of straight duct which is longer
than their actual physical size. When calculating
the total length, add the equivalent lengths of
all transitions and adapters plus the length of all
straight duct sections. Figure 4 shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ductwork parts.
Use the values in parentheses for calculating air flow resistance equivalent, which should total less than 140 feet.
