Frequently Asked Questions - UVC9420SLSS GE

How to install the UVC9420SLSS hood?

The hood must be installed in a custom enclosure with a 39 in wide opening. Follow the steps: remove the motor assembly, install the damper, connect the wiring (120 V, grounded), insert the hood and secure it with 8 screws. Two people are needed to lift the hood (45 kg).

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal baffles and drip trays can be cleaned in the dishwasher or with hot soapy water. Use the arrows on the baffles to orient them correctly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

How to replace a bulb?

Let the bulb cool down, turn off power. Turn the bulb counterclockwise to unlock, then pull. Replace with a GU10 dimmable bulb. Insert the pins and turn clockwise to lock.

Why does the fan turn on by itself?

This is normal: the hood has a heat sensor that activates the fan at medium speed if the temperature above the cooking surface becomes excessive. The fan automatically turns off when the temperature drops.

How to connect the hood to Wi-Fi?

Press the Light and Chef Connect buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to activate Wi-Fi. Use the GE Appliances app (downloadable) and follow the instructions. The Wi-Fi light turns on once connected.

What is the recommended installation height?

The hood should be installed between 30 in (76 cm) minimum and 36 in (91 cm) maximum above the cooking surface, measured from the bottom of the hood to the cooktop.

How to use the Chef Connect function?

Press the Chef Connect button for 3 seconds to start Bluetooth pairing with a compatible range. The indicators flash until paired. The hood can then turn on automatically when the range is used.

What to do if the hood is loud or not ventilating properly?

Check that the duct is 8 in (20.3 cm) in diameter and not obstructed. Make sure the damper opens freely. Clean the grease filters. If the problem persists, consult a technician.

How to activate Boost mode?

Press and hold the HIGH button for 3 seconds. The fan runs at maximum speed for 10 minutes, then automatically returns to the previous speed.

Is the hood compatible with recirculation venting?

Yes, a recirculation kit (charcoal filter) is available as an accessory. The duct should then be directed indoors, but GE recommends venting to the outside for optimal performance.

Installation Preparation

PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

This hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling. Use a 10" round duct. 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.

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.

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.

Wall and Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support

This vent hood is heavy and the cabinet structure needs to support the weight of the loaded insert sleeve. Adequate structural support must be provided in all types of installations.

■ Installation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cooktop.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

This vent hood must be installed between the 30" required minimum and 36" recommended maximum above the cooking surface.

■ Always refer to the cooktop or range installation instructions for product-specific clearances.

NOTE: Installation height should be measured from the cooking surface to the bottom edge of the cabinet surface.

NOTE: UL requires any combustible surface to be a minimum of 30" above the cooking surface. Lower combustible surfaces may be covered to meet requirements.

■ The custom cabinet internal height must be 17" minimum for vertical venting.
■ This hood must be vented to the outdoors.

■ This hood may be mounted in a wall cabinet or installed over an island.

NOTE: The exhaust duct on the hood is closer to the rear of the hood. It is important to plan for the alignment to the connection point of the hood.

CABINET STRUCTURE

• It is required two 2 x 4 horizontal studs separated by 39" as part of the cabinet. They must be firmly secured to the cabinet structure.
  ■ The cabinet bottom must be made from a wooden surface 34 " minimum thickness.

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.
	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.
Fan automatically turns on and can not be turned off.	This is normal. The sensor feature will automatically turn the fan on if cooking temperature becomes too hot. The fan will then turn off when temperatures cool to an appropriate level.
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.
Lights not functioning Wrong bulbs are used. Must use GU10 compatible dimmable bulbs.		Visit GEAppliances.com for replacement bulbs.
No grease captured in the drip trays	No grease captured in the drip trays InstaI the baffles properly making sure the arrows on the sides of the baffles are pointing towards the front of the unit so that the grease openings on the bottom of the baffles are inserted in the drip trays, see the Filters section.
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.
