WARNING:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
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 supply
These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V,
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 a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
• Route house wiring as close to the installation
location as possible in the ceiling or wall.
• Connect the wiring to the house wiring in
accordance with local codes.
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 the 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.
ADVANCE PLANNING
Duct Install Planning
• This hood is designed to be vented vertically
through the ceiling. Use a 6" round duct. Use
locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally
through the rear wall.
• Use metal ductwork only.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan 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.
• Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper
at the exterior opening. Purchase the wall or
roof cap and any transition and length of duct
needed in advance.
• When applicable, install any makeup
(replacement) air system in accordance
with local building code requirements. Visit
GEAppliances.com for available makeup air
solutions.
Recirculation Install Planning
A recirculation duct (included) and two
charcoal filters (not included) are necessary for
recirculation installation.
