PRODUCT CLEARANCES
[
o
36" Min.
These vent hoods must be installed 30" min. to 36"
max. above the cooking surface. Exact installation
height is determined by ceiling height. The cooking
surface should be at least 36" above the floor.
IMPORTANT: Clearances may vary due to type of
cooking product and local codes. Check with local
inspectors to be sure standard is applicable.
, When installing these Island Hoods above a
Monogram Professional Range or Cooktop,
installation clearance must be at least 30".

ADVANCE PLANNING
Ductwork Planning
,These vent hoods are equipped for 10" round
ductwork.
, Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
, Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
, Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible. For sotisfoctorg performance, duct run
should not exceed 150 ft. equivalent length for ang
duct configurations.
, Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to the
outdoors.
, Use rigid metal ductwork onlg.
, Install o roof cop with damper at the exterior
opening. Order the cop and ang transitions needed
in advance.
,When applicable, install ong makeup (replacement)
air sgstem in accordance with local building code
requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available
makeup air solutions.
Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support
,These vent hoods are heavg. Adequate structural
support must be provided. The ceiling structure
must be capable of supporting the weight of the
hood and ong inadvertent user contact loads
(approximatelg 300 pounds). The hood support
frame will be supported bg 2 x 4 cross framing.
Accessorg Frames and Duct Covers
,All models ere shipped with a support frame and
duct covers for ceilings heights of 7'11" to 8'5".
,Optional accessories include telescoping support
frames and duct covers to reach 8'6" and up to
10'4" ceiling heights.
,Optional accessories must be ordered with the
hood and be on site before final framing and wall
finishing.
Mounting the hood without a support frame
The distance between the cooking surface and the
bottom of the hood must be 30" to 36". In situations
where the ceiling is low, the hoods meg be secured
directlg to the ceiling without the supplied frame.
Use the bottom of the supplied support frame as
a template to locate the mounting holes in the top
of the hood. Use shims on the ceiling joists or cross
framing in the mounting hole locations. This will
allow the mounting screws to engage the recessed
keghole slots in the top of the hood. See Step 2.

AATTENTION - POURDES
RAISONS DE SECURITE,CET APPAREIL DOIT ETRE
CORRECTEMENT MIS A LA TERRE
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 Code or
prevailing local codes and ordinances.
Electrical Supplg
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz,
and connected to an individual, properlg grounded
branch circuit, and protected bg a 15 or 20 amp
circuit breaker or time delag fuse.
, Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
, If the electrical supplg does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
, Route house wiring in the ceiling, as close to the
installation location as possible. Allow additional
length from ceiling joists to reach the junction box
on the bottom of the hood support frame.
, 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 sgstem, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
AWARN ING: The improper connectionof
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service representative if gou are in doubt
whether the appliance is properlg grounded.

36" max. above the cooking surface - regardless of
the ceiling height. Therefore, installation height of
the hood depends on the exact ceiling height of the
kitchen.

DUCT FITTINGS
Use this chart to compute maximum
permissible lengths for duct runs to

For best results, use 10" diameter duct.
Note: Do not exceed maximum permissible
equivalent lengths!
Maximum recommended duct length
for these hoods: 150 feet
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is used, all
the equivalent feet values in the table
should be doubled. The flexible metal
duct should be straight and smooth
and extended as much as possible.
Do NOT use flexible plastic ducting.

CONTINUED
, Secure each 2 x 4 block with at least four (4), #10
wood screws, 3" long (not supplied). Use 8 wood
screws total for the two supports.
, The cross framing must be accurately aligned to
assure correct positioning of the hood.
, The cross framing must be level in all directions.
Check with a spirit level and adjust if necessarg.
IMPORTANT: The ceiling structure must be capable
of supporting the weight of the hood (approximatelg
300 pounds) and ang inadvertent user contact loads.
The hood support frame will be supported bg the 2 x
4 cross framing.
Ductwork
, Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.
For satisfactorg performance, duct run should not
exceed 150 feet equivalent length for ang duct
configuration.
, Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to the
outdoors.
, This vent hood must use 10" round rigid duct.
, Install the house ductwork to run horizontallg
between ceiling joists or straight up through the
roof.

STEP 151 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Check Blower Safetg Screw
[] Ensure that blower safetg screw is securelg tight-
ened. See page 16, Step 9. If screw is missing, order
replacement ports bag.
Check Operating Sound and Proper Air-Flow
[] Turn blower to each speed setting and listen for
rattles and vibration. You should notice an audible
difference at each speed setting.
[] Check for foreign material in transition.
[] Check that blower screen is not damaged or pushed
into the blower impeller.
[] The damper should move freely. Listen for opening
and closing while turning the unit on and off.
[] Check that the damper is not damaged, does not
vibrate and that damper bumper pads are in place.
Order a damper replacement assembly if needed.
[] Check that ductwork is 10" round. If duct type is not
rigid and less than 10" round, inform the consumer
that performance will be reduced.
Check Lighting Function
[] Check that power cable is plugged into the junction
box on top of the hood.
[] Turn halogen lamps to each setting. Note change in
brightness at different settings.
[] Check that each lamp bezel is secure. Turn to the
right to tighten. Order replacement lamp bezel and
