NOTE: Any home ventilation
system, such as a ventilation
hood, may interrupt the proper
flow of combustion air and
exhaust required by fireplaces,
gas furnaces, gas water heaters
and other naturally vented
systems. To minimize the chance
of interruption of such naturally
vented systems, follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by NFPA
and ASHRAE. When applicable,
install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with
local building code requirements.
Visit GEAppliances.com for
available makeup air solutions.
Installation Preparation
* Actual length of straight duct plus
duct fitting equivalent. Equivalent
length of duct pieces are based
on actual tests conducted by GE
Evaluation Engineering and reflect
requirements for good venting
performance with any ventilation
hood.
