THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard it must be plugged in-
to a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle,
grounded in accordance with a National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall recep-
tacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have a properly
grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician. See Figure 2.

VENTILATION
IMPORTANT: WALL AND ROOF CAPS MUST HAVE
BACKDRAFT DAMPER.
NOTE: Ductwork, wall and roof caps not supplied with
hood.
Select venting prior to installation. This oven must be
vented one of three ways:
A. Outside Venting through the top surface of
the unit.
B. Outside Venting through the rear surface
of the unit.
C. Inside Venting of this oven requires Whirlpool recir-
culating filter kit #RCH6000, Part #788000. Contact
your Whirlpool Dealer to obtain this kit before pro-
ceeding. Separate instructions are included in the
recirculating filter kit.
Exhaust Connection
The exhaust duct connects to a standard 31/4 '' x 10"
rectangular duct.
If existing duct is round, a rectangular-to-round adap-
tor must be used. In addition, install a rectangular
3" extension duct between the damper assembly
and adaptor to prevent sticking of the exhaust
damper.
RECTANGULAR-TO-ROUND
ADAPTOR__
CAUTION: If the rear exhaust option is selected be sure
that there is proper clearance within the wall for the ex-
haust duct.
IMPORTANT: THE VENTING SYSTEM MUST TER-
MINATE TO THE OUTSIDE. DO NOT TERMINATE
THE VENT IN AN ATTIC OR OTHER ENCLOSED
SPACE. THIS MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.
TO INSURE PROPER AIR
MOVEMENT AND VELOCITY:
Attic Venting: Never vent to either attic or crawl space.
Unit must always be ducted to the outside.
Uniform Size: All ducting should be uniform throughout
the complete system for proper performance.
Duct Restrictions: Never install two elbow fittings next
to each other. This causes unusual air patterns and
subsequently interrupts velocity and the end result is
poor ventilation.
Sealing Joints: All joints in the duct system must be
tightly taped to avoid smoke and odor in the home.
Also, be sure to caulk thoroughly all joints in floor or
wall where duct system goes to the outside.
