TIME TO CHANGE when the stripes have either
blended together or faded completely.
To remove: Turn the retaining clip to release the front of

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.

2. DUCT INSTALLATION
T@e
“B”
Models:
See Figs. 4 and 9.
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
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 6“ round duct is desired, a 7“ to 6“ reducer is required.
Install a 4“ minimum of 7“ round duct between the hood
and reducer to obtain proper operation of the outlet damper.
Type “C” Models: See Figs. 5,6 and 10.
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with a
standard 3!4” x 10” rectangular duct. If round duct is
desired either of the following methods must be used:
1. Install a 4“ minimum length of rectangular duct
between the hood and adapter to obtain proper
operation of the outlet damper, or
2. Cut off both comers of outlet damper at score lines.
Installation may then be made directly to
rectangular-
to-round adapter.
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
3fi” 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 the approximate equivalent feet of some
typical round (6” dia.) duct elements and rectangular
(3!4”
x
10”) duct elements.

3. POWER SUPPLY
A. CIRCUIT VOLTAGE: This hood must be connected
to a supply circuit of the proper voltage and frequency
as specified on the rating plate. Wire size must
conform to the requirements of the National Electrical
Code or the prevailing local code for hoods of this
rating. The rating plate is located on the rear wall
of the hood.
B. FUSE RATING: 15 amPS.
C.
Unless otherwise specified by local codes, bring
a 15 amp 2 wire circuit with ground to the area of
the power supply connection box.
D. USE OF OPTIONAL TOP POWER SUPPLY:
The power supply can be attached through the top
knockout if desired, but only the top or back knockout
shall be opened (See Figs. 8, 9 and 10).

4. HOOD INSTALLATION
A. MECHANICAL
NOTE: When possible, it is more convenient to mount
and wire the hood before the base cabinet is put in place.
1. Take out 1 screw and remove the power supply
connection box cover located on the underside
of the hood (see Fig. 14). (Models: JV322, JV324,
and
JV624)
2. To locate the 4 mounting holes, position the hood
carefully against the bottom of the wall cabinet and
mark the screw positions through the keyhole slots in
the hood. Drill 3/32” pilot holes for the mounting
screws in the small end of the keyhole.
3. Partially drive the 4 mounting screws so that the
heads of the screws extend 1/2” below the bottom of
the cabinet. Raise the hood against the bottom of the
cabinet, making sure that the heads of the mounting
screws protrude through the hole section of the
keyhole slots as shown in Fig. 11. Before tightening
the mounting screws, attach the power supply cable
to the hood. Then push the hood back against the
wall and tighten the mounting screws.

B. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1. Be sure the power supply is disconnected before
making electrical connections.
2. Remove the connection box cover located on the
left side of the fan unit.
3. Attach the power supply through the knockout hole
in the back or top of the hood.
4. Connect the colored incoming power supply
lead to the stripped black lead and connect the
incoming white neutral lead to the stripped white
lead in the connection box as shown in Figs. 13
and 14. Make connections in the hood in accordance
with local codes.
