Electrical Grounding Instructions; Hood Exhaust Duct - Frigidaire PLMVZ169HC - 1.6 cu. Ft. Microwave Oven Installation Instructions Manual

3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance 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 providing
an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE
THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
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 mounting location as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualifi ed electrician or
serviceperson.
2. Neither Electrolux 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; absolutely 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 " x 10" rectangular 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 " x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter round
duct should not exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present additional
resistance to air fl ow and are equivalent 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 3 shows the approximate feet of equivalent
length of some typical ductwork parts. Use the values in
parentheses for calculating air fl ow resistance equivalent,
which should total less than 140 feet.
