ADVANCE PLANNING

Ductwork Planning
• This hood may be vented vertically through upper cabinets,
soffit or ceiling. A duct transition piece is supplied for vertical
exhaust. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally
through the rear wall. See page 13.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. FFor
satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed 100
equivalent length for any duct configurations.
• Use metal ductwork only.
• A transition piece for 7" round duct is supplied. Use 7" round
duct or you may use 3-1/4" x 12" rectangular.
• Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior
opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition
needed in advance.
• When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air
system in accordance with local building code requirements.
Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
Kit - JXDW1
Order kit JXDW1 if your installation requires horizontal ducting
from the top of the hood through the back wall and:
• You have an 8 ft. ceiling and need to use a JXCH Series
Chimney Cover, or
• You have a 12" cabinet or 12" soffit that the hood is to be
mounted beneath.
This kit provides a duct transition from 7" round to 3-1/4" x 10"
rectangular for through-the-wall venting.
Wall Framing for Adequate Support
• This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structureal support must
be provided. The hood must be secured to vertical studs in
the wall. See page 14.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood with duct cover
be on site before final framing and wall finishing. This will
also help to accurately locate the ductwork and electrical
service.
Installation Instructions
DECORATIVE DUCT COVERS
A decorative duct cover is available to fit both model widths.
The duct cover conceals the ductwork running from the top of
the hood to the ceiling or soffit. The duct cover will fit 8 ft. to 10
ft. ceiling heights. See page 12 for details.
