INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES.
LISEZ TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS AVANT D’UTILISER.
PRÉCAUTIONS EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉ
A. Ne laissez jamais sans surveillance les unités de
cuisson de surface à une température élevée. Le
bouillonnement occasionne des débordements
fumants et graisseux qui peuvent prendre feu.
Chauffez à feu doux les substances huileuses,
avec un réglage bas ou moyen.
B. ALLUMEZ toujours la hotte en cas de cuisson à
feu élevé ou lorsque vous faites flamber des aliments
(par exemple, crêpes Suzette, cerises jubilées, bœuf
au poivre flambé).
C. Nettoyez les mécanismes de ventilation fréquemment.
Il ne faut pas permettre une accumulation de graisse
sur le ventilateur ou sur le filtre.
D. Utilisez une casserole de bonne taille. Utilisez toujours
un ustensile de cuisine qui convienne au diamètre
de l’élément de cuisson.

If the hood is not vented to the outside,
the air will be recirculated through a
disposable charcoal filter that helps

The charcoal filter should be replaced after
6 to 12 months (depending on hood usage).
To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter into the

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal
filters in an automatic dishwasher.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will
scratch the surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the
location of a dealer nearest you, please
call our toll-free number:
To clean the stainless steel surface, use
warm sudsy water or a stainless steel
cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface
in the direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning the
stainless steel surface.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners. They will scratch
the surface.
NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to
come in contact with filters and other
non-enameled surfaces.
Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood
frequently. To clean the hood surface, use
a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent
suitable for painted surfaces. About one
tablespoon of ammonia may be added to
the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to
remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
CAUTION:When cleaning
the hood surfaces, be certain that you do
not touch the light bulb with moist hands
or cloth. A warm or hot light bulb may
break if touched with a moist surface.
Always let the light bulb cool completely
before cleaning around it.
Hood Light
Light cover
To remove the light cover
(on some models):
CAUTION:
Let the light bulb
cool completely before removing. A
warm or hot bulb may break if touched
with a moist cloth or hand.
• Press the sides with two fingers until
the side prongs are released.
• Lift the light cover and slide it toward
you in one motion.
To replace the light cover:
• Insert the prong located at the end
of the cover into the top opening.
• Gently push the cover up and press the
sides to fit the side prongs into the side
openings.
Remove the bulb and replace it with
a type A15 incandescent light bulb with
an ordinary screw base, not more than

covered under the Warranty.
Maximum duct length:
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular, 6″ or 7″ diameter round
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. See the
WORKSHEET–CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT
DUCTWORK LENGTH section.
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.
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.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
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.
OPTIONAL POWER CORD KIT JXHC1
An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model JXHC1,
is available at extra cost from your GE supplier for
installation using a standard 3-prong, grounded wall
outlet. Follow the Installation Instructions packed with
the kit to connect the power cord to the range hood.
* 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.

NOTE: This hood must be permanently grounded.
Connect house wiring (120 VAC) to hood wiring.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST
If the hood seems to be operating at high speed when
the control is not set on high, or if ventilation seems
inadequate, check the following:
❏ Knockouts not removed from hood.
❏ Damper blade not opening.
CONNECT WIRING
Connect house black to hood black wire, house white
to hood white wire and house ground under green
ground screw. Securely tighten the strain relief clamp
onto the house wiring.
❏ Reduced airflow because the duct is too small or
the duct length is too long.
❏ The duct is blocked.
❏ Undersized or restrictive wall or roof cap.
If the hood seems to make excessive noise:
Green ground screw
❏ Fan may be hitting the filter. Turn off the fan and
remove the filter. Bend the filter down slightly in the
center (into a dome shape) to allow fan clearance.
Reinstall and adjust as needed.
The fan does not work but the lights do:
❏ Switch power off at the 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.
WARNING:
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF
ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING TO THESE COPPER LEADS
CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM. USE ONLY
