Filters

Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood. The metal baffles channel grease released by foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The baffles also help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood. The baffles must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in use. The grease baffles and drip trays are dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned every month, depending on the usage of the hood.

Grease Drip Tray

1. To install:
   Place and seat the drip trays into the designated hood track. Slide them left or right until all trays are side-by-side in place in the track.

2. To remove:
   Carefully, use the grease tray lip to lift the tray upwards and out. The tray will be free of the designated hood track.

3. To clean:
   Swish the drip tray in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

NOTE: Some discoloration of the filter may occur in the dishwasher.

Baffle Metal Grease Filter

1. To install:
   Insert the top of the baffle into the track behind the control panel. The arrows on the side of the baffle should be pointing towards the front of the unit. Slide the baffle up and push the bottom end back until it firmly seats into place.

2. To remove:
   Use front knob to pull filter forward, towards the control panel. The bottom of the filter becomes free of the grease drip tray. Use back knob to pull the baffle away from the track behind the control panel.  It is important for baffles to be placed correctly with arrows on the side pointing towards the front of the unit to channel grease to the drip trays and avoid grease accumulation in the baffles.

Installation Preparation

PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

CABINET PREPARATION

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

This vent hood must be installed between the 24″ required minimum and 36″ recommended maximum above the cooking surface.

• Always refer to the cooktop or range installation instructions for product-specific clearances.
  NOTE: Installation height should be measured from the cooking surface to the bottom edge of the cabinet surface.
  NOTE: UL requires any combustible surface to be a minimum of 30″ above the cooking surface. Lower combustible surfaces may be covered to meet requirements.

• The custom cabinet internaol height must be 18-1/2″ minimum for vertical venting and 29″ minimum for recirculation.

• The hood can be vented to the outdoors, or it can be installed for recirculating operation. For recirculating operation, refer to Recirculating Installation Planning.

• The hood may be mounted in a wall cabinet or installed over an island.

NOTE: The exhaust duct on the hood is closer to the rear of the hood. It is important to plan for the alignment to the connection point of the hood.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT SUPPLIED)

PARTS PROVIDED
Locate the parts packed with the hood.
NOTE: The hardware bag may contain extra pieces to accommodate a variety of installation methods for various models.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION

CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct the air outside – Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

WARNING:

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

It is recommended that 2 people are used to install the range hood. Failure to properly lift rangehood could result in damage to the product or personal injury.
NOTE: This rangehood can be installed as either ducted or recirculation. In a ducted application, this rangehood can be vented through the wall or ceiling. When installed for recirculation, the rangehood vents back into the room.

REMOVE THE PACKAGING

Wear gloves to protect against
sharp edges.

• Remove the hardware bag, literature package and other boxed parts.
• Remove and properly discard the protective plastic wrapping and other packaging materials .

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

• Ihis hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling. Use a 8″ 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:

  • Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.
  • Maintain a constant duct size.
  • Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
    NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.

• Maximum equivalent duct length for 100 CFM:
  150 foot for vent hoods.

• 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. The vent system can terminate either through the roof or the wall. To vent through a wall, a 90C elbow is needed and installed immediately above the hood.

• Wall and Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support
  This vent hood is heavy and the cabinet structure needs to support the weight of the loaded insert sleeve. Adequate structural support must be provided in all types of installations.

• The installation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cooktop is installed.

Custom Cabinet Frame Planning
The custom canopy or cabinet should have a rectangular hole to accommodate the custom hood insert by itself. This hole is the same size for both a wall installation and an island installation. Ensure parallelism and levelness of the cabinet so that it doesn’t affect flushness of the hood with the cabinet.

RECIRCULATION INSTALL PLANNING
This hood may be installed in recirculation mode. The charcoal filter is necessary for recirculation installation and is included with the unit. Use only with range hood cord connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model range hood.
