INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
These vent hoods are designed to be installed onto a wall with no above cabinets.
•Install these hoods between the required 24” minimum and 36” recommended maximum above the cooking surface.
24” Required Min.
36” Recommended Max.
The vent hood must be installed between the required 24” minimum and recommended 36” maximum above the cooking surface. The hood installation height above the cooking surface depends upon ceiling height and duct cover limitations. The telescopic duct cover conceals the ductwork running from the top of the hood to the ceiling. For supplied duct cover ceiling heights, see table on page 5.
NOTE: Installation height should be measured from the cooking surface to the lowest part of the hood. This hood must be installed onto a wall. It can be vented to the outdoors, or it
can be installed for recirculating operation. For recirculation operation, see Recirculation Install Planning.

Installation Preparation
ADVANCE PLANNING
Duct Install Planning
•This hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling. Use a 6" round duct. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.
•Use metal ductwork only.
•Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
•Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:
1.Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.
2.Maintain a constant duct size.
3.Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
4.Do not use any type of flexible ducting.
•Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Purchase the wall or
roof cap and any transition and length of duct needed in advance.
•When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
Recirculation Install Planning
A recirculation duct (included) and two charcoal filters (not included) are necessary for recirculation installation.
Power Supply Planning
The location of the power supply connection is called out in the Prepare the Wall section on page 6.
POWER SUPPLY
IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)
WARNING:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. Follow National Electrical Codes or prevailing local codes and ordinances.
Electrical supply
These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, and protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
•Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
•If the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.
•Route house wiring as close to the installation location as possible in the ceiling or wall.
•Connect the wiring to the house wiring in accordance with local codes.
Grounding instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
WARNING: The improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

WARNING:
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Because of the weight and size of the range hood canopy. It is recommended that 2 people are used to install the range hood. Failure to properly lift range hood could result in damage to the product or personal injury.
NOTE: This range hood can be installed as either ducted or recirculation. In a ducted application, this range hood can be vented through the wall or ceiling. When installed for recirculation, the range hood vents out the sides of the duct cover.
NOTE: Before making any cuts or holes for installation, determine which venting method will be used and carefully calculate all measurements.
