GE CV936 Ventilation Hood User Manual


 
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.
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.
A transition piece for 7” round duct is supplied. Use 7”
round duct or you may use 3¼” 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.
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
3¼” 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.
