Charcoal Filter--Recirculating Installations Only
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.
It must be replaced. Order filter no.

can be ordered fromyour GEsupplier.
If the hood is not vented to the
outside, the air will be recirctdated
through a disposable charcoal filter
that helps remove smoke and odols.
The charcoal filter should be
replaced alter 6 to 12 moI_ths
(del)ending on hood usage).

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the "Daanage" section and proceed.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
This hood can be xented xerticall)through upper
cabinets or horizontally throtwh an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
Exhaust connection:
The 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 rectangulai_to-round
transition adaptor Inust be used*. Do not use less thm_
a 6" diaaneter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 3V(' x 10" rectangular, 6" or 7" diameter rotmd
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. See the
WORKSHEET-CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT
DUCTWORK LENGTH section.
NOTE: It is important that ducting be installed using
the most direct route and with as tew elb(m:s as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages, Also, mane sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts,
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resist;race to airflow and are
equiwdent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equiwdent lengths of all transitions and
adaptors i)lus the length of all straight duct sections. The
charts on the fl)llowing pages show you how to calculate
total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangula>to-
rotmd transition adaptor is used, the
bottom corners of the damper will
haxe to be cut to fit, using the fin
snips, in order to allow fi'ee
moxement of the dampeL
Equixalent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements for good xenting
performance with any hood.
