IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product requires a three-l)rong, ,gr°unded outlet.

The installer must perform a ground continuit _, check

on the power outlet box before begilming the

installation to insure that the outlet box is properly

grotmded. If not prol_erly grounded, or if the outlet

box does n(>t meet electrical requirements n(>ted

(trader EI,ECTRI(_AI, REQ/_.IIREMENTS), a qualified

electrMan sh()uld be employed t() correct amdeficiencies.

I!1//11/ lCAUTION: For persona]

safety, remove house fuse

or open circuit breaker

before beghulhaginstallation to avoid severe

or fatal shock injury.

CAUTION: For persona] safety, the momathag surface

must be capable of supporting the cabinet load, hi

addition to the added weight of this 63-85 pomad

product, plus additional oven loads of up to 50 pomads

or a total weight of 113-135 pounds.

CAUTION: For personal safety, this product cmmot

be installed hi cabinet arrmagements such as an islmad or

a peninsula. It must be momated to BOTH a top cabinetAND a wall.

NOTE: For easier installation mad personal safety, it isrecmmnended that two people install this product.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE RILM) CAREFULLY. FOR

PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BEPROPERLY GROUNDED TO AVOID SEVERE ORFATAL SHOCK.

The power cord of this

appfimace is equipped with

a three-prong (gromadhag)

plug which mates with a

sta_adaJ_d three-prong

(gromadhag) wall receptacle

to mh_hnize the possibilityof electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

Ensure properground existsbefore use

You should have the wall receptacle mad circuit checked

by a qualified electricima to make sure the receptacle is

properly gromaded.

Where a staaadaaxi two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is very hnportant to have it replaced

with a properly gromaded three-prong wall receptacle,

installed by a qualified electridma.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT,DI_)'ORM OR REMOVE ANY OF THI: PRONGSFROM THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE WITHAN KXTENSION CORD.

NOTE: For back exhaust, care should be taken to align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be preparedat the time it is const_ ucted by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate exhaust.

NOTE: If wm need to install ducts, note that the total

duct lengti_ of 3V_" x 10" rectangular or 6" diameter

round duct should not exceed 140 equivalent feet.

Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHALIST DLICT.Read the following careflfllv.

NOTE: It is important that venting be installed usingthe most direct route and with as tew elbows as possible.

This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps preventblockages. Also, make sure dmnpers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with

a standard 3V_" x 10" rectangular duct.

If a round duct is required, a rectangulai_to-round

transition adaptor m ust be used. Do not use less than

a 6" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfi_ctorv air movement, the total duct length of

3¼" x ] 0" rectangular or 6" diameter round duct should

not exceed 140 equivalent feet,

Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps,etc., present additional resistance to airflow and are

equiwdent to a section of straight duct which is longer

than their actual physical size, When calculating the total

duct length, add the equiwdent lengths of all transitions

and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections,

The chart below shows wm how to calculate total
