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 h0od.
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 frilters (not included) are necessary for recirculation installation.
Power Supply Planning
The location of the power supply connection is called Out in the Prepare the Wall section on.
