on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning Soak and then agitate it in a hot water
depends on hood use and the type of and detergent solution. Light brushing

filter should be cleaned at least once dirt. Rinse,shake and let it dry before
a month, replacing.
To remover
Pull down on the center of the front
edge of the filter. The filter will then
slip out of the retaining tabs on the

To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter into the
retaining tabs and push the front edge
up until it snaps into place.

local inspector's use.
• IMPORTANT - Observe all governing
codes and ordinances,
• Note to Installer - Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
• Note to Consumer - Keepthese instructions
for future reference.
• Skill level - Installation of this appliance requires
basic mechanical and electrical skills.
• Completion time - 30 minutes-3 hours
• Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.
• Product failure due to improper installation is not
covered under the Warranty.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
* WARNING - Beforebeginning the
installation, switch power off at service panel and
lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely 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 available at extra cost from your GEsupplier for
installation using a standard 3-prong, grounded wall
outlet. Follow the Installation Instructions packed with
the kit to connect the power cord to the range hood.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:Readthe ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the °'Damage" section and proceed.
AWARNING - TOREDUCETHERIsKOFFIREAND
TOPROPERLYEXHAUSTAIR,BESURETODUCTAIROUTSIDE--
DONOTVENTEXHAUSTAIRINTOSPACESWITHINWALLSOR
CEILINGSORINTOATTICS,CRAWLSPACESORGARAGES.
Theventing system must exhaust to the outside.
Thishood can be vented verticallythrough upper cabinetsor
horizontallythrough an outside wall. Ductworkisnot included.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3¼" x !0" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter
round ducting.
If a 6" round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a
6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
Forsatisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 3¼" x 10" rectangular, 6" or 7" diameter round
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. See
the WORKSHEET-CALCULATETOTAL EQUIVALENT
DUCTWORKLENGTHsection.
NOTE:It isimportant that ducting be installed using the
most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts. When applicable, install any
makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local
building code requirements. Visit GEApplionces.com for
available makeup air solutions.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance 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 the
following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent
ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent
length of some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT:If a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor isused, the bottom
corners of the damper will have to be
cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order
to allow free movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements for good venting
performance with any hood.
