Introduction
The new Monogram 36-in. Chimney Vent Hood has the following features:
Under-cabinet or stand-alone installation ― The chimney hood may be installed beneath a wall-
mounted cabinet, above most cooktops and ranges. For a more contemporary look, the system can be
wall-mounted with matching 8-to-10-foot duct cover.
Low-profile design and high-impact style ― The retractable glass canopy is sleekly styled with a
streamlined design, seamless finished edges and front-mounted touch controls.
Powerful ventilation ― A four-speed, 500-CFM fan blower with boost option captures the smoke and
steam produced by high-performance cooking equipment.
Multilevel halogen lighting ― Six levels of intensity, from accent to ambient settings, allow you to choose
the lighting to match the cooking task or occasion.
Removable grease filters ― Durable stainless steel filters can be easily removed for cleaning and
maintenance.
Recirculating kit ― Included for applications that do not allow outside venting.

Electrical Specifications
This information is intended for use by persons possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical, electronic
and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a major appliance may result in personal injury
and property damage. The manufacturer or seller cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this
information, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use.
WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing!
IMPORTANT: Disconnect ALL grounding devices.
All parts of this appliance capable of conducting electrical current are grounded. If grounding wires, screws,
straps, clips, nuts or washers used to complete a path to ground are removed for service, they must be
returned to their original position and properly fastened.
GROUNDING SPECIFICATIONS:
Ground Path Resistance 0.10 ΩMax.
Insulation Resistance 250 ΩMin.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
Electrical Supply - The hood must be connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit of 120
V, 60 Hz., and protected by a 15- or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Wiring must be 2- wire with
ground. Wire size must conform to the National Electrical Code or the prevailing local code. Refer to the
rating plate located on the left side, visible when filters are removed.
WARNING: Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in a serious problem.

The vent hood should be installed 24-in. min.
and 30-in. max. above the cooking surface. The
telescopic duct cover conceals the duct work
running from the top of the hood to the ceiling.
The duct cover is sized to reach 8- to 10-ft. ceiling
heights. The hood installation height, from the
cooking surface to the bottom of the hood, depends
upon ceiling height.
Wall Mounted Installations
The chimney vent hood may be installed on a wall
and vented to the outdoors or recirculated indoors.
Both venting options can be accomplished in a wall
mounted installation.
Under-Cabinet Installations
The hood may be installed beneath a cabinet.
The cabinet must measure at least 20-in. from
the bottom frame to the inside top. Both venting
options can be accomplished in an under-cabinet
installation. (Custom cabinet modification is required
for recirculating operation.)
Installation Information
The vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support
should be provided in all types of installations. The
hood should be secured to vertical studs in the wall,
or to a horizontal support.

Duct Cover
Telescopic duct covers conceal the duct work,
running to the ceiling. The upper duct section may
be mounted in one of two ways depending on how
the chimney hood is vented. If it is vented to the
outside, the upper section will be attached to a duct
bracket mounted to the ceiling and the duct cover
will be installed with the vent holes at the bottom.
If the chimney vent hood is set up to recirculate the
air indoors, the upper section will be attached to an
air deflector mounted to the wall and the duct cover
will be installed with the vent holes at the top.
Note: Installation and removal of the hood will
require removal of the cabinet as specified in the
installation manual.

Control Features
Glass Visor
The push-button assembly is located in the visor
and selects the light and fan operations.

1- Light ON/OFF. Remembers the last light level
used. (Six light levels.)
2- Dims the light.
3- Brightens the light.
Hood Fan Selections:
4- FAN ON/OFF. Remembers the last fan speed
used. (Four speed fan.)
5- Decreases speed.
6- Increases speed.
7- BOOST – The highest fan speed.
Note: The BOOST fan speed can only be selected
with this control. BOOST is not accessible by cycling
up to the highest fan speed using the increase fan
button.
8- Fan indicator light. The light glows when the fan
is operating.
Grasp the visor and pull it out to remove steam
more efficiently when cooking. Push it back when
not in use. The vent fan and lights work with the

Cleaning
To preserve and protect the fine finish, regularly
clean and polish the stainless steel exterior and
visor with a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner, such as Stainless Steel Magic™. Stainless
Steel Magic™ is available through GE Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002 or GE Appliances.com.
Order part number WX10X15.
To avoid damaging the stainless steel, wipe in
the same direction as the grain when polishing or
cleaning any stainless steel surface. Do not use
appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Warranty does not cover damage due to improper
cleaning methods.

Components
Filters
The chimney vent hood comes supplied with
2 metal grease filters. (Also supplied is a single
charcoal filter for installations not vented to the
outside.) The metal filters trap grease released by
foods on the cooktop. The filters also help prevent
flames from damaging the inside of the hood. For
this reason the grease filters must always be in
place when the hood is in use.
The 2 vent hood grease filters are located on the
underside of the canopy. It is necessary to remove
the filters to gain access to the nomenclature, light
shield, duct cover, and the fan motor. To remove the
grease filters, pull out the visor, grasp the filter lock
and pivot it open to release. Pull the filter down and
out.
Filter Locks
To reinstall the grease filters, insert the two tabs on
the bottom filter edge into the slots in the back of
the hood. Push the front of the filter up, open the
filter lock and snap it into place in the hood.
If the hood is not vented to the outside, the air
will be recirculated through an additional single
disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke
and odors.
To remove the charcoal filter, first remove the 2
grease filters. Grasp the front of the charcoal filter
and pull it down and out.
To reinstall the charcoal filter, insert the back edge
into the rear (center). Push the front of the filter up
and snap it in place in the hood. Replace the 2 metal
filters.
Visor
The visor houses the push-button assembly and
slides forward over the cooktop surface and retracts
when not in use. The visor is attached to 2 movable
tracks recessed in the canopy. The visor must
be removed to replace the light shield and light
receptacles.
To remove the visor:
1. Slide the visor forward until it stops. Remove the
single Phillips-head screw from the 2 visor end
caps. Remove the end caps.
2. Remove the 4 Phillips-head screws on the
bottom of the visor.
3. Carefully slide the visor out until it is clear of the
tracks.
4. Unplug the ribbon connector from the left visor
track.

Caution: Upon
reassembly, ensure
