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.

Filter locks

If it ever becomes necessary to replace the metal grease filters, they may be ordered from your GE supplier.

Reusable Metal Grease Filters

Thehood has 2 metal reusable grease filters.

Themetal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. Theyalso help

prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside ofthe hood.

Forthis reason,the filters must ALWAYS be in placewhen the hood isused.The grease filters should becleaned once a

month, or as needed. To remove, pressthe filter locksback

and pull the filters down and out. To replace, insert the rear filter tabs

in the frame slotsat the back of the opening. Pushthe filters up and lock

them into place.

To clean the grease filters,soak them

and then swishthem around in hot

water and detergent. Don't useammonia

or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Donot useabrasives

or oven cleaners.Light brushing can be usedto remove embedded dirt. Rinse,

shake and letthem dry before replacing.

They may also be cleaned in an

automatic dishwasher.

NOTE:Beforecleaning,make surethe charcoal filters,if present, are unclipped

Thecharcoal filters should

be replaced when they are noticeably dirty or discolored

(usually after 6-12 months, depending onhood usage).

NOTE:DONOTrinse,or put charcoal filters in an automatic

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 end 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 isnot

included. Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with standard 3¼" x 10"rectangular ducting.

If a 7" round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less then a

7" diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

Forsatisfactory air movement, the total duct length of a 3¼"x 10" rectangular should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.

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.

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 onthe following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent

ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

* IMPORTANT:Ifa rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor isused, 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.
