device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring
must be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow
the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards such
as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
and the local code authorities.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,
do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
E. Turn off breaker to adjacent rooms while
working.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCT WORK.
CAUTION: Due to the weight and size of
these vent hoods and to reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the product, TWO
PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
These vent hoods are designed to be installed
onto a wall with no above cabinets.
• Install these hoods between the 24” required
minimum and 36” recommended maximum
above the cooking surface.
The vent hood must be installed between the
24” required minimum and 36” recommended
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.

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.
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 one charcoal
filter (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.

WARNING:
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Because of the weight and size of the rangehood
canopy. It is recommended that 2 people are used
to install the range hood. Failure to properly lift
rangehood could result in damage to the product
or personal injury.
NOTE: This rangehood can be installed as either
ducted or recirculation. In a ducted application,
this rangehood can be vented through the wall
or ceiling. When installed for recirculation, the
rangehood 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.
