Instructions

WARNING –TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not have

existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork, skip to

the “Damage” section and proceed.

The venting system must exhaust to the outside.

This hood can be vented vertically through upper cabinets

or horizontally through an outside wall. Ductwork is not

included.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with

standard 3

ø4” x 10” rectangular ducting.

If a 7” round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a

7” diameter duct.

Duct length:

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has

a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the

fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for

best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller

ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can

reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed

with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

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 guideline 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.
