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.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING: Before beginning 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.

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
