Care and cleaning of the vent hood. ge.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
J
Metal Grease Filter
The metal filter traps grease
released bg foods from the
cooktop. The filter also helps
prevent flames (from food, grease)
from damaging the inside
of the hood.
For this reason, the filter
must ALWAYSbe in place when
the hood is in use.The grease filter
is dishwasher-safe and should be
cleaned every 6 months, or as
needed.
Toremove:
Pull downward on the filter lock
to release the filter.
Toreplace:
Fit the tabs at the end of the filter
into the slots in left side of the filter
opening. Lift up the right side of the
filter and push gently until the filter
locks into place. Make sure the filter
lock is in the closed position to
secure the filter.
Toclean, 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 will occur
in the dishwasher.

outdoors, or it can be installed for recirculating
operation.

Installation Preparation
PREPARE TO INSTALL THE HOOD
ADVANCE PLANNING
Ductwork Planning
•These vent hoods are equipped for 8" round
ductwork.
• Determine the exact locution 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 ft. equivalent length for any
duct configurations.
• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute
the maximum permissible length for duct runs
to the outdoors.
• Use rigid metal ductwork only.
• Install a roof cop with damper at the exterior
opening. Order the cap and any transitions
and length of duct needed in advance.
Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support
•These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural
support must be provided. The ceiling structure
must be capable of supporting the weight of the
hood and any inadvertent user contact loads
(approximately 200 pounds). The hood support
frame will be supported by 2 x 4 cross framing.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is
installed before the cooktop or countertop below
is installed.
Duct Covers
•All models (Ire shipped with duct covers. For
supplied duct cover ceiling heights for vented
installation and recirculating installation, refer
to table on page 12.
POWER SUPPLY
IMPORTANT -(Please read carefully)
WARNING:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with
this appliance. Follow National Electrical Codes
or prevailing local codes and ordinances.
Electrical Supplg
This vent hood must be supplied with Z20V, 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 (_licensed electrician before
proceeding.
• Route house wiring in the ceiling, as close to the
installation locution as possible. Allow additional
length from ceiling joists to reach the junction
box on the bottom of the hood support frame.
• Connect the wiring to the house wiring
in accordance with local codes.
Grounding Instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to
(_ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
-AWARNING:
The improper connection of equipment-grounding
conductor con result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.

Installation Preparation
DUCT FITTINGS
Use this chart to compute
maximum permissible lengths for
duct runs to outdoors.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum
permissible equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
i00 feet.
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 straight and smooth and
extended as much as possible.
DO NOT use flexible plastic
ducting.
NOTE: Ang home ventilation
sgstem, such as a ventilation hood,
mag interrupt the proper flow of
combustion air and exhaust
required bg fireplaces, gas
furnaces, gas water heaters and
other naturallg vented sgstems.
To minimize the chance of
interruption of such naturallg
vented sgstems, follow the
heating equipment manufacturer's
guidelines and safetg standards
such as those published bg NFPA
and ASHRAE.
