8 VENTILATION SYSTEM

(PREPARING OVEN FOR INSTALLATION)
This microwave oven/hood is designed for adaptation to three
types of hood ventilation systems. Select the type required
for your installation.
RECIRCULATING — non-vented, ductless.
Follow installation procedure (A). Recirculating requires
the use of the Charcoal Filter, which has already been
installed in the oven.
HORIZONTAL EXHAUST — outside ventilation.
Follow installation procedure (B).
VERTICAL EXHAUST — outside ventilation.
Follow installation procedure (C).
(A) RECIRCULATING:
1. The unit is shipped assembled for recirculating.
2. The Exhaust Damper Assembly is not required for
recirculating exhaust.
3. Charcoal Filter, which was installed in your microwave
oven, is used for nonvented, recirculated installation. The
Charcoal Filter should be replaced every 6 to 12 months,
depending on use. Remove three Hood Louver screws.
Tilt the Hood louver downward then pull it out so bottom
tabs become unlocked. Pull the Charcoal Filter upward
to remove from your oven. Attach the Charcoal Filter to
the upper side of the oven by sliding into the tabs. See
Figure 6-1, 6-2.
