GE JVM3160RF/EF 1.6 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven

Dimensions and Installation Information (In Inches)

Note: Requires a 120V grounded outlet. The 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.

Diagram Description: An over-the-range microwave oven with installation dimensions. Key measurements 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; Exhaust outlet connects to a 3-1/4"x10" duct; Door opens 105 degrees (without obstruction); Overall width: 29-7/8 inches; Maximum duct size: 13 inches; Minimum duct size: 12 inches; Rear dimension: 16-1/2 inches; Depth: 15-1/4 inches; Maximum depth with JX15 Bump Out Kit (sold separately): 16 inches.

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 the installation instructions packed with the 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 the exhaust with the space between studs, or the wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed 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, 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.

Duct Equivalent Lengths

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 (Available at Additional Cost)

Filter Kit JX81C: Recirculating Charcoal Filter Kit. To be used when the Spacemaker microwave oven cannot be vented to the outside.

Diagram Description: Illustrates optional accessories for exhaust connection. Shows a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor for connecting to a round duct and a Filter Kit JX81C for recirculating (non-vented) installations.
