How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.

Controls

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Control Knobs (on some models)

1. FAN Control: Turn to HI, MED or LO as needed. Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.
2. LIGHT Control: Turn to ON while cooking or to NITE for use as a night light.

Filters

Switch Pad Controls (on some models)

1. LIGHT Control: Press the pad at the top to turn the light ON.
2. Fan Settings Buttons: Press the pad at the top to turn the fan on HI and at the bottom to turn it on LO. The center position is OFF.

Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Reusable Metal Grease Filter—Ducted Installations Only

The efficiency of your hood depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on hood use and the type of cooking you do. However, the grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month.

To remove:

Pull down on the center of the front edge of the filter. The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.

To replace:

Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs and push the front edge up until it snaps into place.

To clean:

Soak and then agitate it in a hot water and detergent solution. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.

NEVER OPERATE THE HOOD WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.

With careful handling, the metal filter will last for years. If a new replacement filter becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer. Order genuine GE part number WB02X8391.

Charcoal Filter—Recirculating Installations Only

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order filter no. WB02X10700. Replacement filters can be ordered from your GE supplier.

If the hood is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filter should be replaced after 6 to 12 months (depending on hood usage).

To remove:

Pull down on the center of the front edge of the filter. The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.

Surfaces

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners. They will scratch the surface.

Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

Light

CAUTION

Let the light bulb cool completely before removing. A warm or hot bulb may break if touched with a moist cloth or hand.

Remove the bulb and replace it with a type A15 incandescent light bulb with an ordinary screw base, not more than 60 Watts, or a type A17 or T2 Compact Fluorescent (CFL) light bulb with an ordinary screw base, not more than 13 Watts. NOTE: Use only incandescent bulbs in models RN328, JN327, JN328 and JV338.

IMPORTANT: For installation, handling and disposal precautions, refer to the fluorescent bulb packaging literature.

To remove the light cover (on some models):

■ Press the sides with two fingers until the side prongs are released.
■ Lift the light cover and slide it toward you in one motion.

Installation Instructions

Range Hood

? "If you have questions, call 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) or visit our website at: GEAppliances.com"

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

• IMPORTANT — Save these instructions for local inspector's use.
• IMPORTANT — Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these instructions with the Consumer.
• Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions for future reference.
• Skill level – Installation of this vent hood requires basic mechanical and electrical skills.
• Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.
• Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

A WARNING Before beginning the installation, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

OPTIONAL POWER CORD KIT JXHC1

An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model JXHC1, is available at extra cost from your GE supplier for installation using a standard 3-prong, grounded wall outlet. Follow the Installation Instructions packed with the kit to connect the power cord to the range hood.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS

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.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND TO PROPERLY EXHAUST AIR, BE SURE TO DUCT AIR OUTSIDE—DO NOT VENT EXHAUST AIR INTO SPACES WITHIN WALLS OR CEILINGS OR INTO ATTICS, CRAWL SPACES OR GARAGES.

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 31/4" x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter round ducting.

If a 6" round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a 6" diameter duct.

Duct length:

It is important that ducting be installed using the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts. When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.

- 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.

IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper. Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any hood.

DAMAGE – SHIPMENT/INSTALLATION

• If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or replacement.
• If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
• If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair or replacement must be made by arrangement between customer and installer.

MOUNTING SPACE

NOTES:

• Hood width may be greater than the width of the range or cooktop, but it may not be smaller.
• Ensure the range or cooktop is installed per manufacturer's installation instructions.
• If you are going to vent your range hood to the outside, see the "Ducting Requirements" section for exhaust duct preparation.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST

If the hood seems to be operating at high speed when the control is not set on high, or if ventilation seems inadequate, check the following:

☐Knockouts not removed from hood.
□Damper blade not opening.
☐Reduced airflow because the duct is too small or the duct length is too long.
☐The duct is blocked.
□Undersized or restrictive wall or roof cap.

If the hood seems to make excessive noise:

☐Fan may be hitting the filter. Turn off the fan and remove the filter. Bend the filter down slightly in the center (into a dome shape) to allow fan clearance. Reinstall and adjust as needed.

The fan does not work but the lights do:

☐Switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
☐Check the wiring connections. See the CONNECT WIRING section in these Installation Instructions.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Cause	What To Do
Fan/Light does not operate A	house fuse may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped.	Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Loud or abnormal airflow noise	Wrong duct size used in installation.	Using smaller duct pipe will cause reduced venting. Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows. GE service technicians cannot correct this issue if installed improperly.
Fan fails to circulate air or moves air slower than normal and/or fan is making loud or abnormal airflow noise	Obstructions in duct work. Make	sure nothing is blocking the vent. Make sure your wall or roof cap has a blade or door.
	Damper blade on wall or roof cap may not be open.	Make sure damper swings freely. Damper blades may flip over and will not fully open when this happens. Adjust to original position.
	Metal grease filter and charcoal filter (if present) may be dirty.	Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter (if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.
	Insufficient makeup (replacement) air	Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for exhausting appliances to operate to rating. Check with local building codes, which may require or strongly advise the use of makeup air. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
Early light failure Light wattage	is too high. Replace with correct	wattage.
