This hood can be vented vertically through upper cabinets or 

horizontally through an outside wall. Ductwork is not included.

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with 

standard 31ø4s x 10s rectangular ducting or 7s diameter 

round ducting.
If a 6s round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round 

transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a 

6s diameter duct.

NOTE: 
It is important 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 GEAppliances.com for 

available makeup air solutions.

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.

WARNING – Before beginning 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.

An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model JXHC1,  

is available at extra cost from your GE supplier for

*  IMPORTANT:  If a rectangular-to-round 

transition adaptor is used, 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.
