3. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave 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. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or serviceperson install an outlet near the
appliance.
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 sepa-
rate 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 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 4 shows the approxi-
mate 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.
