3. Attach the exterior backplate to the exterior wall. Using four provided screws, fix it to the wall.
Seal the backplate with caulking, as shown.
4. Snap each assembled exterior hood on its respective
backplate location and secure each of them with
their 2 provided screws.
6.8.4 OPTIONAL ALPINE/PINE FILTER
The special design of this filter makes it much more efficient to catch spores and their particles during
intensive pollen season. Using this optional fine mesh filter will extend the life expectancy of your prefilter.
To install it, remove the bottom metal screen of the optional exterior single hood and replace it by the
optional Alpine/pine filter. See illustration beside.
(Alpine/pine filter part number: ACCGSUP5)
During pollen season, or as needed, remove the assembled hood from its backplate by removing its 2 retaining screws. Then, slide out
the Alpine/pine filter and clean it under water. Let dry before reinstalling it on the assembled hood. Reinstall the hood on its backplate.
6.9 INSTALLING TWO BREADERT CAPS (GSVH1K, GSHH3K AND GSEH3K MODELS ONLY)
6.9.1 LOCATING THE TWO BREADERT CAPS
A minimum distance of 3 feet (0.9 m) is required between the Breadert caps (supplied by others) to avoid cross-contamination. Consider
the prevailing winds when locating these caps; the intake must be upstream the exhaust. See illustration below.
