1. PREPARATION OF WALL CABINET
AND WALL
NOTE: For easier installation make all hood and
vent cutouts in the cabinet and wall before cabinet is
permanently fastened in place. It is recommended that
the power supply be brought into the hood from the wall
below the cabinet as shown in Fig.1. However, an
optional location is shown in Fig. 2, where the power
supply enters the top of the hood by passing through
the wall cabinet.
A. WALL CABINET WITH RECESSED BOTTOM:
Add the 2 required filler strips as shown in Fig. 3.
B. WALL CABINET WITH FLUSH BOTTOM: In
some cases it may be necessary to provide clearance
for the connection box cover mounting screw which
extends slightly through the top of the hood. Clearance
can be provided, if necessary, by carefully positioning
the hood against the bottom of the cabinet and marking
the screw position; clearance may then be provided
by drilling a 1/4″ hole in the cabinet bottom.
NOTE: Hood Model JV346 is shipped set up in the
non-ducted configuration.
2. DUCT INSTALLATION
Model JV322 See Figs. 4 & 9
The hood has been designed to mate with a standard 7″
round duct. (A round damper kit may be ordered. Order
GE model number JXDA22.)*
A. If a rectangular duct is desired, a round to rectangular
adapter must be used. Install a 4″ minimum length of
7″ round duct between the hood and adapter to obtain
proper operation of the outlet damper.
B. If a 6″ round duct is desired a 7″ to 6″ reducer is
required. Install a 4″ minimum length of 7″ round
duct between the hood and adapter to obtain proper
operation of the outlet damper.
CAUTION: Do not fasten the duct to the flange on the
top of the hood with screws. The screws will interfere
with the fan blade damaging the motor.

Models JV332, JV346
Model JV346 ducted installation: Remove the charcoal
pad from the filter. Remove the baffle from the top of the
hood. Re-install the baffle so the short side marked
“VENTED’ is visable. The long side of the baffle should
be inside the hood.
The hood has been designed to mate with a standard 3!4”
x 10“rectangular or 7“ diameter round duct.
Rectangular Duct See Fig. 5,6 & 10: The exhaust outlet
can be installed as either the top or rear by removing the
desired rectangular knockout. A rectangular damper is
supplied with the hood.
Round Duct See Fig. 4 &9: If round duct is desired
either of the following methods must be used:
1.2.Install a 4“ minimum length of rectangular duct
between the hood and adapter to obtain proper
operating of the outlet damper, or
Remove the round knockout on the ton of the hood.
Drill an appropriate size hole in each ‘ofthe three tabs.
Using pliers, bend the three tabs perpendicular to the
hood top. Insert the first piece of 7“ diameter duct so
the tabs are outside of the duct. Mark on the duct the
locations of the holes in the tabs. Drill the appropriate
size hole and, using screws, fasten the duct.
CAUTION: If rear or horizontal exhaust is to be
used, care should be taken to align exhaust with
space between 2 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 (CFM) the total duct length should not exceed
65 equivalent feet of 3%’x 10”rectangular duct. Equivalent
feet are defined as total feet straight duct plus equivalent
feet of elbows, transitions, wall caps, etc. Figure 7a shows
theapproximateequivalentfeet of some typicalround(6”dia)
duct elements and rectangular (3%” x 10”) duct elements.
