SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking on high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
B. 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
guidelines and safety standards, such as
those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
When applicable, install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building
code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for
available makeup air solutions.
C.When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
D.Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
F. Turn off breaker to adjacent rooms while working.
WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
Ŷ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your
hood unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.

Filters
CARE AND CLEANING: Filters
Metal Grease Filter
The metal filter traps grease released by 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 ALWAYS be in place when
the hood is in use. The grease filter is dishwasher-safe
and should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.
To remove:
Pull downward on the filter lock to release the filter.
To replace:
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.
To clean, 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.
Charcoal Filter
For recirculating installation only
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be
recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that
helps remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12
months, depending on hood usage).
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be
replaced.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
These vent hoods are designed to be installed onto
a wall. They may be installed beneath a soffit or
cabinet.
Ŷ,QVWDOOWKHVHKRRGVEHWZHHQWKHUHTXLUHG´
minimum and 36” recommended maximum above
the cooking surface.
The vent hood must be installed between the
required 24” minimum and 36” recommended
maximum above the cooking surface. The hood
installation height above the cooking surface
depends upon ceiling height and duct cover
limitations. The telescopic duct cover conceals the
ductwork running from the top of the hood to the
ceiling. For supplied duct cover ceiling heights, see
table on page 13.
Recirculation Kit:
Kit includes 1 air deflector and 1 charcoal filter and
is included with the hood.
NOTE: Installation height should be measured from
the cooking surface to the lowest part of the hood.
This hood must be installed onto a wall. It can be
vented to the outdoors, or it can be installed for
recirculating operation. For recirculation operation, a
Recirculating Kit (included) is required.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Preparation
PREPARE TO INSTALL THE HOOD
ADVANCE PLANNING
Duct Install Planning
ŶThis hood is designed to be vented vertically
through the ceiling. A duct transition piece is
supplied for vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied
elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.
ŶUse metal ductwork only.
ŶDetermine the exact location of the vent hood.
ŶPlan 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.
ŶUse the shortest and straightest duct route
possible.
ŶInstall a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the
exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and
any transitions and length of duct needed in
advance.
ŶWhen applicable, install any makeup
(replacement) air system in accordance with local
building code requirements. Visit
GEAppliances.com for available makeup air
solutions.
Wall Framing for Adequate Support
ŶThis vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural
support must be provided. The hood must be
secured to vertical studs in the wall. See page
14.
ŶWe strongly recommend that the vent hood with
duct cover be on site before final framing and
wall finishing. This will also help to accurately
locate the ductwork and electrical service.

Grounding Instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
WARNING
The improper connection of equipment-grounding
conductor can 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.
This Hood MUST Use an 8” Round Duct.
It Can Transition to a 3-1/4” x 12” Duct.
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. When applicable, install any
makeup (replacement) air system in accordance
with local building code requirements. Visit

STEP 5: CONNECT DUCTWORK
ŶRemove shipping tape from the damper.
ŶInstall ductwork, making connections in the
direction of airflow as illustrated.
ŶPush duct over the exhaust outlet and damper.
ŶSecure joints in ductwork with sheet metal
screws.
ŶWrap all duct joints and the flange connections
with aluminized duct tape for an airtight seal.
CAUTION Do not use sheet metal screws at
the hood flange connection. Doing so will prevent
proper damper operation. Seal connection with tape
only.
STEP 6: CONNECT ELECTRICAL
Verify that power is turned off at the source.
WARNING If house wiring is not 2-wire with
a ground wire, a ground must be provided by the
installer. When house wiring is aluminum, be sure
to use U.L. approved anti-oxidant compound and
aluminum-to-copper connectors.
