Advance Planning; Ductwork Planning; Adequate Support - GE Monogram ZV30H Installation Instructions Manual

DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR VENTED
MODE
• This vent hood is designed to be installed beneath a
cabinet or beneath a cabinet mounted to a soffit.
• This hood is designed for 8" round ducting. The
8" round duct can transition to 3-1/4" x 10" or
3-1/4" x 12".
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors
considering any transitions you may require.
• Use locally supplied ducting to vent horizontally
through the rear wall or vertically through the
ceiling.
• 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.
• Install a wall or roof cap with damper at the exte-
rior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any
transition and length of duct needed in advance
from a local hardware store.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Wall or ceiling duct must be projected out at least
1" for duct connection.
WARNING:
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
• For better air flow results, use rigid metal ductwork.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR
RECIRCULATION MODE
All parts are included to install in recirculation mode.
MOUNTING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT
• The hood must be secured to vertical studs in the
wall. See the Wall or Ceiling and Cabinet Preparation
section for vented or recirculationg installation.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood be on
-site to accurately locate the ductwork and electri-
cal service.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is in-
stalled before the cooktop and countertop are
installed.
IMPORTANT:
to the cabinet and at least two wall studs and
dry wall with anchors. The cabinet must be ca-
pable of supporting 100 lbs.
