kLW/'_I_I_i I I_i_: 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.

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.

24" Required IVlin.
36" Recommended Max.

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.

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.

POWER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT- {Please read carefully}

AWARNING:

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.

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.

AWARNING: The improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a riskof 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 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.

A CAUTION: Wear gloves to protect

against sharp edges.

, Remove the duct covers.
. Remove the hardware bag, literature package

and other boxed parts.

. Remove and properly discard the protective

plastic wrapping and other packaging materials.
