• A:Answer It cannot be restricted to under 300 cfm. It could damage the motor if it was restricted by using smaller ducting. Just have to run it on the lower speeds.

• A:Answer Hi - Thank you for reaching out to us. The replacement filters for this unit are not determined or identified by size. They are identified by reviewing the parts breakdown for the vent hood. If your unit is vented outside and you need a replacement grease filter - the GE part number is WB02X24872. If your model is installed as a recirculating unit and you need new charcoal filters - you will need JXCF72. We hope you find this helpful. Kind regards - Vikki@GEA

Q: QuestionIf my ceiling height is only 7’, do I need a shorter duct cover? Or will this work ok?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there - We're so glad you reached out to us about this and we're happy to offer guidance about which range hood will fit your space. This model (JVW5301SJSS) will not adjust to fit a ceiling below 7' 3"; so since your ceilings are 7', this range hood will not fit in your space. In this case, a custom insert vent hood might be a good alternative, such as UVC9300SLSS. It still requires a minimum 24" of space above the cooktop, but there aren't any ceiling-height limitations. It's also important to note that the custom cabinet internal height must be 18-1/2" minimum for vertical venting and 29" minimum for recirculation. Pages 10 through 13 of the installation instructions has detailed information about the installation preparation for this custom hood: https://files.bbystatic.com/%2FRdm%2FtAzAY2hQpSNfQeQaw%3D%3D/3E4DA4A4-4450-47F8-952C-FCE93F203760.pdf. We encourage you to review that information to discern if it will work in your space. Of course, if you have any further questions, you can always connect with us again - we are more than happy to help out. All the best, Kelsey@GEA

Q: QuestionI have 10’7” ceilings. What model extension can I purchase for this exhaust hood?

Asked 4 years ago by Ryano395.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 30 inches - Convertible - Wall Range Hood - Black Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hello - Thanks for reaching out! To reach a 10' ceiling, you would use a JXDC72 extension kit and the unit would need to be installed at 36"-38". We're sorry, however, we don't have an extension for ceilings that are above 10 ft. and unfortunately, it's not possible to couple multiple duct covers together. Custom fabrication will be required for heights beyond our maximum of 10 ft. Thanks for checking with us! - Sharon@GEA

Q: QuestionI have a 9 foot ceiling and keep getting different answers as to the duct covers. I was told I would have to purchase an extension kit, part number UXDC72FJDS. However, previous questions on this page, answered by GE state the the unit fits 7-4" to 9".

Asked 4 years ago by gh.

• A:Answer Hi - We genuinely apologize for any confusion we may have inadvertently created regarding the this beautiful vent hood and included duct covers. The duct covers included with the unit can be adjusted for ceilings between 7 3/4" - 9" depending on the distance between the bottom of the hood and the cooktop. Please see Page 6 of the installation instructions for additional information -- https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-10983-8.PDF -- We hope you find this helpful!

Q: QuestionCould I reduce the duct size to 4" from 6"?

Asked 4 years ago by Maldy.

• A:Answer Hello. We do not recommend reducing the duct pipe from 6" down to 4" as it was not tested and approved. This hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling and using 6" round duct. Hope this helps your installation. Geoff@GEA
