CAUTION
WARNING
If you have questions concerning the installa-
tion of this product, call the GE Answer
Center® Consumer Information Service at
800.626.2000, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you received a damaged vent hood, you
should contact your dealer.
CAUTION!
Due to the weight and size of these vent hoods
and to reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to the product, TWO PEOPLE ARE
REQUIRED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not use this range hood with any external
solid-state speed control device. Any such
alteration from original factory wiring could
result in damage to the unit and/or create an
electrical safety hazard.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outdoors. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or
ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OB-
SERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended
by the manufacturer. If you have any ques-
tions, contact the manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock service
panel to prevent power from being switched
on accidentally. If the service panel cannot be
locked, fasten a tag or prominent warning
label to the panel.
For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
and vapors.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s). In accordance
with all applicable codes and standards
including fire-rated construction.
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 guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society for Heating, Refrig-
eration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

Available
Optional
Accessories
This vent hood is designed to be used in
vented installations.
A decorative duct cover is provided to cover
the duct from the top of the hood to an 8 ft.
or 9 ft. ceiling.
The vent hood must be installed 24" min. and 30" max.
above the cooking surface. 25-1/2" is recommended to
insure that the duct cover meets the ceiling. The cooking
surface should be at least 36" above the floor. Installation
will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the
range or cooktop and countertop is installed.

Advance
Planning
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 satisfactory performance, duct
run should not exceed 100 feet equivalent
length for any duct configurations.
•Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the
maximum permissable length for duct runs to
the outdoors.
•Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at
the exterior opening.

Supply
CAUTION
Warning, for
Personal Safety:
Remove house
fuse or open
circuit breaker
WARNING
before beginning installa-
tion.
Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug with
this appliance. Follow
National electrical codes
or prevailing local codes
and ordinances.
Electrical supply
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V,
60Hz., and connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or
20 ampere 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 wiring as close to the installation
location as possible, in the ceiling or soffit.
•Connect the wiring to the house wiring in
accordance with local codes.
Grounding Instruction
The grounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
hood.
CAUTION
Warning: The improper connec-
tion of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service
WARNING
representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.

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

and extended as
much as possible.
Do NOT use flexible
plastic ducting.
Note: Any home ventilation
system, such as a ventilation
hood, may interrupt the proper
flow of combustion air and
exhaust required by fireplaces,
gas furnaces, gas water heaters
and other naturally vented
systems. To minimize the chance
of interruption of such naturally
vented systems, follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by NFPA
and ASHRAE.
These Hoods Must
Use 6" Round Duct
*Actual length of straight duct plus duct fitting
