STEP 2: Prepare The Venting System
NOTE: The ductwork you need for outside ventilation is not included with your oven. The standard ductwork
fittings and length are shown in Figure 9, page 10.
ILWARNING-FIRE HAZARD
THIS OVEN MUST BE PROPERLY VENTED!
You may vent your oven in one of three ways. However, do NOT vent into a wall cavity, an attic, or an unused
area.
• Roof-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figures 6 (3 1/4" x 10" duct) and
Figure 8 (6" round duct.)
• Wall-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall of your house, as in Figure 5 (3 1/4" x 10" duct) and
Figure 8 (6" round duct.)
• Room-venting If your oven is located on an inside wall of your house, as in Figure 7.
NOTE: If you choose the rear exhaust method (roof-or wall-venting), be sure there is enough clearance within the
wall for the exhaust duct.

REMEMBER AS YOU INSTALL THE
VENTING:
• Keep the length of the ductwork and the number
of elbows to a minimum to ventilate your oven
efficiently. See examples on page 9.
• Keep the size of the ductwork the same.
• Do not install two elbows together.
• Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct system.
• Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof
opening around the cap.
