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.
