hood use and the type of cooking
you do. However, the grease filter
should be cleaned at least once a
month.
To remove:
Pull down on the center of the
front edge of the filter. The filter
will then slip out of the retaining
tabs on the back.
To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter
into the retaining tabs and push
the front edge up until it snaps
into place.
To clean:
Soak and then agitate it in a hot
water and detergent solution.
Light brushing can be used to
remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and let it dry before

Do not use steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners. They will scratch
the surface.
Clean grease-laden surfaces of the
hood frequently. To clean the hood
surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a
mild detergent suitable for painted
surfaces. About one tablespoon of
ammonia may be added to the water.
Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to
remove soap. Dry with a dry,
clean cloth.
NOTE: When cleaning, take care not
to come in contact with filters and
other non-enameled surfaces.
CAUTION: When cleaning the hood
surfaces, be certain that you do not
touch the light bulb with moist hands or
cloth. A warm or hot light bulb may break
if touched with a moist surface. Always
let the light bulb cool completely before
cleaning around it.
Painted Surfaces
CAUTION: Let the light bulb cool
completely before removing.
A warm or hot bulb may break
if touched with a moist cloth
or hand.
Remove the bulb and replace with
an ordinary screw-base light bulb,
not more than 60 watts.
To remove the light cover
(on some models):
• Press the sides with two fingers
until the side prongs are
released.
• Lift the light cover and slide it
toward you in one motion.
To replace the light cover:
• Insert the prong located at the
end of the cover into the top
opening.
• Gently push the cover up and
press the sides to fit the side
prongs into the side openings.

Hood Light
The charcoal filter cannot be
cleaned. It must be replaced. Order
filter no. WB02X10700. Replacement
filters can be ordered from your GE
supplier.
If the hood is not vented to
the outside, the air will be
recirculated through a disposable
charcoal filter that helps remove
smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be
replaced after 6 to 12 months
(depending on hood usage).
To remove:
Pull down on the center of the
front edge of the filter. The filter
will then slip out of the retaining
tabs on the back.
To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter
into the retaining tabs and push
the front edge up until it snaps
into place.

Instructions
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
•
IMPORTANT – Save these
instructions for local inspector’s use.
•
IMPORTANT – Observe all
governing codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
• Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions
for future reference.
• Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires
basic mechanical and electrical skills.
• Completion time – 30 minutes–3 hours
• Proper installation is the responsibility of the
installer.
• Product failure due to improper installation is not
covered under the Warranty.
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.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
This hood can be vented vertically through upper
cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
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.
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. See the
WORKSHEET–CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT
DUCTWORK LENGTH section.
NOTE: It is 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.
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.
DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
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,
