GE JN327, JV327, JV337, JV347 Preparation Of Wall Cabinet And Wall, Duct Installation

1.PREPARATION OF WALL CABINET AND WALL

NOTE: For easier installation make all hood and vent cutouts in the cabinet and wall before cabinet is permanently fastened in place. It is recommended that the power supply be brought into the hood from the wall below the cabinet as shown in Fig.1. However,

an optional location is shown in Fig. 2, where the power supply enters the top of the hood by passing through the wall cabinet.

A. WALL CABINET WITH RECESSED BOTTOM: Add the 2 required filler strips as shown in Fig. 3.

B. WALL CABINET WITH FLUSH BOTTOM: In some cases it may be necessary to provide clearance for the connection box cover mounting screw which extends slightly through the top of the hood. Clearance can be provided, if necessary, by carefully positioning the hood against the bottom of the cabinet and marking the screw position; clearance may then be provided by drilling a 1/4″ hole in the cabinet bottom.

NOTE: Hood Model JV347 is shipped set up in the non-ducted configuration.

2. DUCT INSTALLATION

Model JV327 See Figs. 4 & 9

The hood has been designed to mate with a standard 7″ round duct. (A round damper kit may be ordered. Order GE model number JXDA22.)*

A. If a rectangular duct is desired, a round to rectangular adapter must be used. Install a 4″ minimum length of 7″ round duct between the hood and adapter to obtain proper operation of the outlet damper.

B. If a 6″ round duct is desired, a 7″ to 6″ reducer is required. Install a 4″ minimum length of 7″ round duct between the hood and adapter to obtain proper operation of the outlet damper.

CAUTION: Do not fasten the duct to the flange on the top of the hood with screws. The screws will interfere with the fan blade, damaging the motor.
