IMPORTANT: Clearances may vary due to type of cooking product and local codes. Check with local inspectors to be sure standard is applicable.

- When installing these Island Hoods above a Monogram Professional Range or Cooktop, installation clearance must be at least 30".

ADVANCE PLANNING

Ductwork Planning

• These vent hoods are equipped for 10" round ductwork.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed 150 ft. equivalent length for any duct configurations.
• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.
• Use rigid metal ductwork only.
• Install a roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Order the cap and any transitions 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.

Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support

- These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided. The ceiling structure must be capable of supporting the weight of the hood and any inadvertent user contact loads (approximately 300 pounds). The hood support frame will be supported by 2 × 4 cross framing.

Accessory Frames and Duct Covers

• All models are shipped with a support frame and duct covers for ceilings heights of 7'11" to 8'5".
• Optional accessories include telescoping support frames and duct covers to reach 8'6" and up to 10'4" ceiling heights.
• Optional accessories must be ordered with the hood and be on site before final framing and wall finishing.

Mounting the hood without a support frame

The distance between the cooking surface and the bottom of the hood must be 30" to 36". In situations where the ceiling is low, the hoods may be secured directly to the ceiling without the supplied frame. Use the bottom of the supplied support frame as a template to locate the mounting holes in the top of the hood. Use shims on the ceiling joists or cross framing in the mounting hole locations. This will allow the mounting screws to engage the recessed keyhole slots in the top of the hood. See Step 2.

Install Duct Cover Screw on Each Side

• Install the supplied 2-piece duct cover over the support frame (if using supplied frame). Snap ends together.
• Secure duct covers to support frame with 2 Screws D.
• For a more finished appearance, a top cover is supplied and should be installed whenever the top of the hood is visible.

TIP: Place pieces of tape over ends of the cover to prevent scratching the duct cover. Remove tape before installing screws.

Tape Tabs

- Engage tabs into slots on each side at the top of the hood. The covers should lay flat in the impression on top of the hood.

Top Cove Install Screws Front and Back

- Install 2 Screws C to secure the cover to the hood at the front and back.

STEP 14 FINALIZE INSTALLATION

• Check all lamps to assure tightness in sockets.
• Turn power on at the circuit breaker.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual for operating and cleaning instructions.

STEP 15 INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Check Blower Safety Screw

☐ Ensure that blower safety screw is securely tightened. See page 16, Step 9. If screw is missing, order replacement parts bag.

Check Operating Sound and Proper Air-Flow

☐ Turn blower to each speed setting and listen for rattles and vibration. You should notice an audible difference at each speed setting.
□ Check for foreign material in transition.
☐ Check that blower screen is not damaged or pushed into the blower impeller.
☐ The damper should move freely. Listen for opening and closing while turning the unit on and off.
☐ Check that the damper is not damaged, does not vibrate and that damper bumper pads are in place. Order a damper replacement assembly if needed.
☐ Check that ductwork is 10" round. If duct type is not rigid and less than 10" round, inform the consumer that performance will be reduced.

Check Lighting Function

☐ Check that power cable is plugged into the junction box on top of the hood.
☐ Turn halogen lamps to each setting. Note change in brightness at different settings.
☐ Check that each lamp bezel is secure. Turn to the right to tighten. Order replacement lamp bezel and socket assemblies if needed.

Check appearance and installation

☐ Use a spirit level to check that the hood is level. Review installation instructions to determine source of problem.
☐ Top covers (if used) should lay flat in the recess on top of the hood. Make sure side tabs are engaged in slots and the cover is secured with two screws.
□ Clean the hood surfaces and all filters. See the Owner's Manual for cleaning instructions. They should be free of construction debris such as sawdust.
