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 30hood models, order  
Kit no. WB02X10707.  
For 36hood 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.

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

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 314x 10rectangular ducting or 7diameter  
round ducting.  
If a 6round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round  
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than  
a 6diameter 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 314x 10rectangular, 6or 7diameter 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.
