SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING –  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF  
WARNING –  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,  
A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:  
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.  
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high  
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on  
low or medium settings.  
IDo not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your hood unless it is specifically  
recommended in this guide. All other servicing  
should be referred to a qualified technician.  
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high  
heat or when cooking flaming foods.  
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease  
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan  
or filter.  
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware  
appropriate for the size of the surface element.  
WARNING –  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,  
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,  
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be  
done by qualified person(s) in accordance  
with all applicable codes and standards,  
including fire-rated construction.  
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper  
combustion and exhausting of gases through  
the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment  
to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating  
equipment manufacturer’s guideline and  
safety standards such as those published by  
the National Fire Protection Association  
(NFPA), and the American Society for  
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning  
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code  
authorities.  
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,  
do not damage electrical wiring and other  
hidden utilities.  
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the  
outdoors.  
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Using the hood controls.  
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.  
FAN Control  
Turn the FAN speed control to LO, MED LO,  
MED HI or HI, as needed.  
LIGHT Control  
Turn the LIGHT control to HI for bright light while  
cooking. Turn to NITE for use as a night light.  
Continuous use of the fan system while cooking  
helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less  
humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling  
moisture that create a frequent need for  
cleaning.  
NOTE: When the fan is operating on the LO setting,  
it will be very quiet. Always make sure that the fan  
is turned OFF when you are finished in the kitchen.

Care and cleaning of the vent hood.  
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the  
vent hood.  
Reusable Metal Grease Filters  
The hood has 2 metal reusable  
grease filters.

Grasp the filter handle and pull it  
up, forward and out.  
The metal filters trap grease

Place the top end of the filter  
against the inside front of the  
hood.  
For this reason, the filters must  
ALWAYS be in place when the  
hood is used. The grease filters  
should be cleaned once a month,  
or as needed.  
Slide it up until it stops and  
push the bottom end back  
until it snaps into place.  
If it ever becomes necessary to replace  
the metal grease filters, they may be  
ordered from your GE supplier.  
To clean the grease filters, soak  
them and then swish them around  
in hot water and detergent.  
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia  
products because they will darken  
the metal. Do not use abrasives or  
oven cleaners. Light brushing can  
be used to remove embedded dirt.

a hot, damp cloth with a mild  
detergent suitable for painted  
surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp  
cloth to remove soap. Dry with  
a dry, clean cloth.

Installation Instructions  
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES  
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES  
These vent hoods are designed to be installed onto a  
wall. They may be installed beneath a soffit or cabinet.  
Install these hoods 24Min. to 36Max. above the  
cooking surface.

8 to 10 ft. ceiling heights. The duct cover will expand  
from 12Min. or 24to 34Max. height.  
The duct cover conceals the ductwork running  
from the top of the hood to the ceiling.  
The duct cover accessory fits both 30and 36wide  
models. Order the duct cover accessory at the same  
time as the vent hood. All accessories should be on  
site at the time of hood installation.

ADVANCE PLANNING  
DECORATIVE DUCT COVERS  
Ductwork Planning  
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.  
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.  
For satisfactory performance, duct run should not  
exceed 100 equivalent length for any duct  
configurations.  
Refer to Duct Fittingschart to compute the maximum  
permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.  
Use metal ductwork only.  
POWER SUPPLY  
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)  
WARNING:  
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST  
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.  
A transition piece for 7round duct is supplied. Use  
7round duct or you may use 3-1/4x 12rectangular.  
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.  
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before  
beginning installation.  
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with  
this appliance. Follow National electrical codes or  
prevailing local codes and ordinances.  
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 12cabinet or 12soffit that the hood is to  
be mounted beneath.  
This kit provides a duct transition from 7round to  
314x 10rectangular for through-the-wall venting.  
Wall Framing for Adequate Support  
This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural 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.  
Electrical supply  
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and  
connected to an individual, properly grounded branch  
circuit, and protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker  
or time delay fuse.  
Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.  
If the electrical supply does not meet the above  
requirements, call a licensed electrician before  
proceeding.  
Route house wiring as close to the installation  
location as possible in the ceiling, soffit or wall.  
See page 13 for details.  
Connect the wiring to the house wiring in  
accordance with local codes.  
Grounding instructions  
DUCT FITTINGS  
The grounding conductor must be connected to a  
ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an  
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.  
Follow these guidelines for proper duct sizing in the  
ducting charts.
