FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING - Beiore beginning the
installation, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting means to prevent power
fl'om being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, secm'elv
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
OPTIONAL POWER CORD KIT JXHC1
An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model
JXHC1, is awfilable at extra cost from vom" GE
supplier Ira" installation using a standard 3-prong,
grounded wall outlet. Follow the Installation
Instructions packed with tile kit to connect tile power
cord to tile range hood.
DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections tufty if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the "Damage" section mid proceed.
Tile venting system must exhaust to tile outside.
This hood can be xented xerticall)through upper
cabinets or hofizoi_tallv thI'oU,d/an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
Exhaust connection:
Tile hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter
round ducting.
If a 6" round duct is required, a rectangula>to-ro/md
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less thm_
a 6" dimneter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfhctory air movement, tile total duct length
of a 3V(' x 10" rectangular, 6" or 7" diameter to/rod
duct should not exceed 65 equivaJent feet. See the
WORKSHEET-CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT
DUCTWORK LENGTH section.
NOTE: It is important that ducting be installed using
tile most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensm'es clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, mane sure dmnpers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resist;race to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The
charts on tile ti)llowing pages show you how to calculate
total equivalent ductwork length using tile approximate
teet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangula>to-
to/rod transition adaptor is used, tile
bottom corners of tile damper will
have to be cut to fit, using tile fin
snips, in order to allow fl'ee
movement of tile dampe_:
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements ti)r good venting
perii)rmance with anv hood.
