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.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.

Heat Sensor

Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENSOR thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.

1. If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.

2. If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower up to HIGH speed.

When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.

Filters

Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filters trap grease during cooking. The filter must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in

use. The grease filter is dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.

To remove:

Remove the access panel by sliding the two side latches. Remove the wire retainers and then remove the grease filter.

Wire Retainers

USING THE HOOD: Filters

To replace:

Align the grease filter and install the wire retainers. Replace the access panel.

To clean, swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

NOTE: Some discoloration may occur in the dishwasher.

For Recirculation Installation Only Charcoal Filter (Not Included)

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

This vent hood and liner assembly must be installed 24" required minimum and 36" recommended maximum above the cooking surface.

• Always refer to the cooktop or range installation instructions for product-specific clearances.

NOTE: Installation height should be measured from the cooking surface to the bottom edge of the metal hood liner or cabinet surface.

NOTE: UL requires any combustible surface to be a minimum of 30" above the cooking surface.

• The custom cabinet internal height must be 16" minimum.

• This hood can be vented to the outdoors, or it can be installed for recirculating operation. For recirculating operation, refer to Recirculating Installation Planning.

• This hood may be mounted onto a cabinet or installed over an island.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

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.

Wall and Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support

This vent hood is heavy and the cabinet structure needs to support the weight of the loaded insert sleeve. Adequate structural support must be provided in all types of installations.

• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cooktop is installed.

Custom Cabinet Frame Planning

• The custom canopy or cabinet should have a

rectangular hole to accommodate the custom hood insert by itself, or with the liner. This hole is the same size for both a wall installation and an island

installation.

10-1/4"

19-1/2"

Metal Liners

• Metal liners (30" width JXL30 and 36" width JXL36) are optional but are recommended for installation heights below 30" for cabinetry protection. You can construct a custom metal (or non-combustible) liner when a larger liner is needed.

Front of hole must be 3" minimum from cabinet front

Back of hole must be 1" minimum from back wall

Recirculation Install Planning

A recirculation duct kit JXN30 is available for recirculation installation.

Power Supply Planning

The location of the power supply connection is called out in the Wall Installation and Island

Installation sections on page 13.

POWER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)

WARNING

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance. Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair. 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.

WARNING

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
