WARNING –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended
by the manufacturer. If you have questions,
contact the manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from
being switched on accidentally. When the
service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when cooking flaming foods.
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan
or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface
element.

Using the hood controls.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
SafeyIructions
Your model will have one of the above type of controls.
FAN Control
Turn or press (according to your model) the FAN
speed control to LO, MED, HI or BOOST, as needed.
LIGHT Control
Turn or press (according to your model) the
LIGHT control to BRIGHT for bright light while
cooking. Turn or press to NITE for use as a night
light.
Continuous use of the fan system while cooking
helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less
humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling
moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.
FAN ON Light
The FAN ON indicator light will glow when the
fan is turned on.
OpeagIructions
Care and cleaning of the vent hood.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the
vent hood.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
The hood has 2 metal reusable
grease filters.
To clean the grease filters, soak
them and then swish them around
in hot water and detergent.
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia
products because they will darken
the metal. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners. Light brushing can
be used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let them dry
before replacing. They may
The metal filters trap grease
released by foods on the cooktop.
They also help prevent flaming
foods on the cooktop from

damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filters must
ALWAYS be in place when the
hood is used. The grease filters
should be cleaned once a month,
or as needed.
also be cleaned in an automatic
dishwasher.
If it ever becomes necessary to replace
the metal grease filters, they may be
ordered from your GE supplier.
NOTE: Before cleaning, make sure the
charcoal filters, if present, are unclipped
and removed. See the Charcoal Filters
section.
To remove, slide the filters to the
rear using the tab. Pull them
down and out.
To replace, slide the filters in the
frame slot on the back of the
opening. Push up and back and
then to the front to lock into place.

Charcoal Filters (on some models)
If the model is not
vented to the outside,
the air will be
recirculated through
disposable charcoal
filters that help remove
smoke and odors.
The charcoal filters
should be replaced when
they are noticeably dirty
or discolored (usually
after 6 to 12 months,
depending on hood
usage).
The charcoal filters
cannot be cleaned. They
must be replaced.
For 30″ hood models, order
Kit no. WB02X10707.
For 36″ hood models, order
Kit no. WB02X10708.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put
charcoal filters in an
automatic dishwasher.
These kits can be ordered
from your GE supplier.
The charcoal filters are clipped inside
of each reusable metal grease filter.
OpeagIructions
Painted Surfaces (on some models)
To clean the hood surface, use a hot,
damp cloth with a mild detergent
suitable for painted surfaces. Use
a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove
soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
Do not use steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners. They will scratch
the surface. Wipe with a clean, hot,
damp cloth after using cleansers.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will
scratch the surface.
Apply cleaner with a damp sponge.
Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to
remove cleaner. Dry with a dry, clean
cloth. Always scrub lightly in the
direction of the grain.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use a hot, damp cloth with a mild
detergent suitable for stainless steel
surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp
cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry,
clean cloth.
laIructions
After cleaning, use a stainless steel
polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic®,
Revere Copper and Stainless Steel
Cleaner®, or Wenol All Purpose
Metal Polish®. Follow the product
instructions for cleaning the stainless
steel surface.
If food soil remains, try a general
kitchen cleaner, such as Fantastik®,
Simple Green®, or Formula 409®.
For hard-to-clean soil, use a
standard stainless steel cleaner, such
as Bon-Ami® or Cameo®.
Hood Lights
This hood requires two bulbs (not
included), maximum 50 watts.
To change the light bulbs:
CustomSrvice
Grasp the bulb on the edges and
unscrew it.
Purchase and install PAR20, 50 W
Maximum halogen bulbs.
Replace with the same size bulb.
When replacing a bulb, let it cool
first. Make sure that power to the
light has been turned off. Never
allow a hot bulb to come into
contact with water.
CAUTION:
■ Do not touch the hood light bulbs when they
are on. They may be hot enough to cause
injury.
■ The light bulbs operate at extremely high
temperatures. If they shatter, the hot glass
could cause personal injury.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the “Damage” section and proceed.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
•
IMPORTANT
Save these
–
instructions for local inspector’s use.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
•
IMPORTANT
Observe all
This hood can be vented vertically through upper
cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
–
governing codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer Be sure to leave these
–
instructions with the Consumer.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular ducting or 7″ diameter
round ducting.
If a 6″ round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than
a 6″ diameter duct.
• Note to Consumer Keep these instructions
–
for future reference.
• Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires
basic mechanical and electrical skills.
• Completion time – 1-3 hours
• Proper installation is the responsibility of the
installer.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular, 6″ or 7″ diameter round
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.
• Product failure due to improper installation is not
covered under the Warranty.
NOTE: It’s important that ducting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING
Before beginning the
–
installation, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The
charts on the following pages show you how to calculate
total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-
round transition adaptor is used, the
bottom corners of the damper will
have to be cut to fit, using the tin
snips, in order to allow free
movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements for good venting
performance with any hood.
