3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This 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.
Electrical Requirements
The 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 separate
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 mounting location as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instruc-
tions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.
2. Neither Dacor 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. Do not, under any cir-
cumstances, use plastic duct work. 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” rectangular 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 caps, 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 sec-
tions. Figure 3 shows the approximate 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.
