DIMENSIONS AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION 

(IN INCHES)

For answers to your Café™ product questions, visit our website at cafeappliances.com.

Note: Requires 120V grounded outlet. Electrical receptacle must be located in cabinet 
above microwave oven. No additional wiring, venting or cabinet rebuilding necessary in 
many cases. Complete detailed, easy-to-follow installation instructions and convenient 
full-size templates are packed with the microwave oven.

Important Information: When installing the microwave oven over a range, allow  
minimum of 2" from bottom of microwave oven to top of range backguard to  
allow for removal of light covers.

Ventilation Options: The microwave ovens are designed for adaptation to  
the following three types of ventilation: 
-Outside exhaust (vertical – as shown) 
-Outside exhaust (horizontal) 
-Recirculating (non-vented ductless – see Filter Kit drawing)

Installation Information: This information is not intended to be used for installing  
unit described. Before installing, consult installation instructions packed with  
product/kit for current dimensional data.

Hood Exhaust Duct: Outside ventilation requires a HOOD EXHAUST DUCT.  
Read the following carefully.

Exhaust Connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a standard 
3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct. If a round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition 
adaptor must be used. Do not use less than a 6" diameter duct.

Rear Exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to 
align exhaust with space between studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is 
constructed by leaving enough space between the 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 equivalent feet.

Elbows, Transitions, Wall and Roof Caps, etc., present additional resistance to airflow 
and are equivalent to a section of straight duct which is longer than their actual physical 
size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent length of all transitions 
and adaptors plus the lengths of all straight duct sections. The chart below shows the 
approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
