ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

This hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling with a 8" round duct or backwall using an 90° elbow and 8" round duct.
■ Use metal ductwork only.
■ 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.

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. 8" or 10" round duct universal make up air kit can be purchased locally.

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

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 when button is turned ON	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. This	hood requires 8" ducting to perform optimally. Using smaller duct pipe will cause reduced venting. Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows. GE Appliances 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.
Fan keeps going off and on	The motor is probably overheating and turning itself off. This can be harmful to the motor.	Check to be sure the filters are clean. If off and on cycling continues, call for service.
Hood will not work remotely	Router issues, no wireless signal, etc. For	assistance with hood wireless network connectivity, please call 800.220.6899.
	Hood is not connected.
