vent hood insert size for 48" GE monogram range

10 years ago

Hello! After lurking on GW for ages, this is my first post.(-: Thanks in advance for any advice you're able to offer!

I'm installing a GE Monogram 48" range (6 burners + griddle), and am planning to have my cabinetmaker build a wood hood cover at 60" wide (this dimension was an aesthetic choice). I'm assuming I need a 48" wide hood insert because the range is 48" wide.

How do I figure out what insert I need? I'm a bit paralyzed by the array of choices.

Also in terms of depth of the hood, I'm planning to have the hood extend 18" out from the wall to cover 1/2 of the front burners, based on what I read on other threads. Any advice on sizing would be fantastic.

Last, any recommendations on brand would be awesome, looking for a decent performer that's cost effective.

Here's a link to the range: http://appliances.monogram.com/us/_specs/ZDP486NDPSS

Thank you!

I would look at 48" wide, but 24" deep rather than 18. Also look at baffles rather than mesh filters. That should narrow your choices a bit.

Welcome to posting. Things I have learned while reading GW:
- Duct size (8" is better than 6") and length will affect the performance of a hood--90° turns and long runs will decrease efficiency, so if that's the case, it's better to start with a more powerful hood.
- A larger capture area is better--6" wider than the range/cooktop.
- Make-up air is needed for a blower that draws more than 400cfms--check your local building code.
- Sones matter, too. (Noise level)
The following thread from the Appliances forum has some good info posted by kaseki (scroll down): 63" hood over a 48" range

You can also ask in the Appliances forum. Good luck!
