DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
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.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
This hood can be vented vertically through upper cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall. Ductwork is
not included.
Exhaust connection
This hood is designed to be vented vertically using a 7" round duct or a 3 1»4” x 10” rectangular duct or
horizontally using a 3 1»4” x 10” rectangular duct. Do not use less than a 7” diameter duct.
Duct length
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use
of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan
with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold
growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
NOTE: For an ENERGY STAR®model, unit must be vented mode to be considered ENERGY STAR®certified.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
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 either button is
pressed
A house fuse may be blown or
a circuit breaker tripped.
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Fan does not operate when
fan Lo, Med, Hi buttons are
pressed
The blower connector is loose
or not plugged into its mating
connector.
Disconnect power to the unit. Remove the filters and
look up at the blower. If the blower connector plug is
loose or you see the connector dangling, the installer
failed to plug it in securely. See the mini manual for the
plug location and how to plug in the connector.
Loud or abnormal airflow
noise
Wrong duct size used in
installation.
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.
The hood controls are not
operating correctly
Control logic confused. Disconnect power to the hood by resetting the circuit
breaker. Wait 30 seconds to allow controls to reset.
Early light failure Light wattage is too high. Replace with correct wattage.
Fan continually cycles off
and on
The motor is probably
overheating and turning
itself off. This can be harmful
to the motor. Filter may be
excessively soiled.
Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter
(if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.
