1. Minimize the duct run length and number of
transitions and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.

• Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible.
• Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at
WKHH[WHULRURSHQLQJ2UGHUWKHZDOORUURRIFDS
and any transition and length of duct 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.
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 13.
• 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.
