Reusable Metal Grease Filter--Ducted Installations Only

The efficiency of your hood depends To clean:

on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning Soak and then agitate it in a hot water
depends on hood use and the type of and detergent solution. Light brushing

cooking you do. However, the grease can be used to remove embedded
filter should be cleaned at least once dirt. Rinse,shake and let it dry before

a month, replacing.

To remover

Pull down on the center of the front
edge of the filter. The filter will then
slip out of the retaining tabs on the

back.

To replace:

Slip the back edge of the filter into the
retaining tabs and push the front edge

up until it snaps into place.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS

NOTE:Read the ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,

skip to the °'Damage" section and proceed.

CEILINGSORINTOATTICS,CRAWLSPACESORGARAGES.
Theventing system must exhaust to the outside.
Thishood can be vented verticallythrough upper cabinetsor

horizontallythrough an outside wall. Ductworkisnot included.
Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3¼" x !0" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter

round ducting.
If a 6" round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a
6" diameter duct.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

* WARNING - Beforebeginning the

installation, switch power off at service panel and
lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten
a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.

OPTIONAL POWER CORD KIT JXHC1

An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model JXHC1,
is available at extra cost from your GEsupplier for
installation using a standard 3-prong, grounded wall
outlet. Follow the Installation Instructions packed with
the kit to connect the power cord to the range hood.

Maximum duct length:

Forsatisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 3¼" x 10" rectangular, 6" or 7" diameter round
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. See
the WORKSHEET-CALCULATETOTALEQUIVALENT

DUCTWORKLENGTHsection.

NOTE:It is important that ducting be installed using the

most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent

blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts. When applicable, install any

makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local

building code requirements. Visit GEApplionces.com for
available makeup air solutions.

Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,

present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent
to a section of straight duct longer than their actual

physical size.When calculating the total duct length, add
the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus
the length of all straight duct sections.The charts on the
following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent
ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent

length of some typical ducts.

corners of the damper will have to be

* IMPORTANT:If a rectangular-to-round

to allow free movement of the damper.

Equivalent lengths of duct pieces

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST

If the hood seems to be operating at high speed when

the control is not set on high, or if ventilation seems

inadequate, check the following:

Knockouts not removed from hood.
Damper blade not opening.

Reduced airflow because the duct istoo small or the

duct length is too long.

E_The duct is blocked.
E_ Undersized or restrictive wall or roof cap.

If the hood seems to make excessive noise:

E_ Fan may be hitting the filter. Turn off the fan and

remove the filter. Bend the filter down slightly in the
center (into a dome shape) to allow fan clearance.

Reinstall and adjust as needed.

The fan does not work but the lights do:

Switch power off at the service panel and lock the
service disconnecting means to prevent power from
being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to
the service panel.

Check the wiring connections. See the CONNECT
