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.

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 Fittings” chart 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 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.
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 12″ cabinet or 12″ soffit that the hood is to
be mounted beneath.
This kit provides a duct transition from 7″ round to
31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular 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.
