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.
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.
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.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Fan/Light does not operate
when slide switch is turned
ON
A house fuse may be blown or
a circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Loud or abnormal airflow
noise Wrong duct size used in installation. This hood requires 6” ducting to perform optimally. Using smaller duct pipe will cause reduced venting. Minimize
the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.
GE service technicians cannot correct this issue if
installed improperly.
Fan fails to circulate
air or moves air slower
than normal and/or fan is
making loud or abnormal
airflow noise
Obstructions in duct work. Make sure nothing is blocking the vent. Make sure your
wall or roof cap has a blade or door.
Damper blade on wall or roof
cap may not be open. Make sure damper swings freely. Damper blades may flip over and will not fully open when this happens. Adjust to
original position.
Metal grease filter and charcoal
filter (if present) may be dirty. Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter (if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.
Insufficient makeup
(replacement) air Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for exhausting appliances to operate to rating. Check with
local building codes, which may require or strongly
advise the use of makeup air. Visit GEAppliances.com for
available makeup air solutions.
Early light failure Light wattage is too high. Replace with correct wattage.
Fan automatically turns on
and can not be turned off. This is normal. The sensor feature will automatically turn the fan on if cooking temperature becomes too hot. The fan will then
turn off when temperatures cool to an appropriate level.
Fan keeps going off and on The motor is probably
overheating and turning itself
off. This can be harmful to the
motor.
Check to be sure the filters are clean. If off and on
cycling continues, call for service.
