GE 1.7 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Sensor Microwave Oven
Models: JVM6175SK/EK/BL/YK
Dimensions and Installation Information (In Inches)
Note: Requires a 120V grounded outlet. Electrical receptacle must be located in the cabinet above the microwave oven. In many cases, no additional wiring, venting, or cabinet rebuilding is necessary. 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 a minimum of 2 inches from the bottom of the microwave oven to the top of the 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 the unit described. Before installing, consult installation instructions packed with the product/kit for current dimensional data.
Diagram Description: The diagram shows overhead and side views of the microwave oven installation. Key dimensions include:
- Minimum mounting height from floor: 66 inches
- Minimum width required: 30 inches
- Minimum distance from door hinge side to adjacent wall: 1/2 inch
- Maximum depth with JX15 Bump Out Kit (sold separately): 16 inches
- Door opening clearance (without obstruction): 98 degrees
- Exhaust outlet connects to a 3-1/4" x 10" duct
- Cabinet dimensions: 23-9/16" width, 15-11/16" height, 29-7/8" depth
- Rear dimensions: 15-9/16" height, 16-5/16" depth
- Maximum duct height: 13 inches
- Minimum duct height: 12 inches
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 the exhaust with the space between studs, or the wall should be prepared at the time of construction by leaving enough space between the wall studs to accommodate the 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: These present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct that 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:
DUCT | EQUIVALENT FEET |
---|---|
A. Rectangular-to-round Transition Adaptor | 5 ft. |
B. Wall Cap | 40 ft. |
C. 90° Elbow | 10 ft. |
D. 45° Elbow | 5 ft. |
E. 90° Elbow | 25 ft. |
F. 45° Elbow | 5 ft. |
G. Roof Cap | 24 ft. |
Optional Accessories
Filler Panel Kit (JX36BWW/BBB/BSS/BES/BTS): When replacing a 36" range hood, this kit fills in the additional width to provide a custom built-in appearance. For installation between cabinets only; not for end-of-cabinet installation. Each kit contains two 3"-wide filler panels.
Filter Kit (WB02X35687 - included): Recirculating Charcoal Filter Kit to be used when the microwave oven cannot be vented to the outside.
