PREPARE TO INSTALL THE HOOD
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
These vent hoods are designed to be installed onto
a wall. They may be installed beneath a soffit or
cabinet.
minimum and 36" recommended maximum above
the cooking surface.
24" Required Min.
36" Recommended Max.
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 Preparation
ADVANCE PLANNING
Duct Install Planning
This 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.
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.
Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible.
Install 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.
When 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
This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural
support must be provided. The hood must be
secured to vertical studs in the wall. See page
14.
We 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.
