ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning
■ This hood is designed to be vented vertically
through the ceiling with an 8" round duct for 30"
and 36" models and a 10" round duct for 48"
model, or horizontally through a wall with an
8"x12" duct transition and 12" 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" round duct
makeup air kit JXMUA8 can be purchased from
GEAppliances.com or 10" round duct universal
make up air kit can be purchased locally.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof
or the wall.

WARNING
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with
this appliance. Follow National Electrical Codes or
prevailing local codes and ordinances.

Electrical supply

These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V,
60Hz, and connected to a properly grounded branch
circuit, and protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit
breaker or time delay fuse.
■ Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
■ If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
■ Route house wiring as close to the installation
location as possible in the ceiling or wall.
■ Connect the wiring to the house wiring in
accordance with local codes.

Grounding instructions

The grounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
WARNING
The improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
