CARE AND CLEANING: Filter / Surfaces

Filter

Be sure the circuit breaker 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.

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.

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.

To remove:

Grasp the filter handle and pull it up, forward and out.

To replace:

1.Hold the filter at the bottom with the handle.

2.Place the top end of the filter against the inside front of the hood.

3. Slide it up until it stops and push the bottom end back until it snaps into place.

Surfaces

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the brush line. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will

remove surface rust, tarnish, and small blemishes. To receive a $2.00 coupon for a trial sample of Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ follow the link below or scan the QR Code.

www.barkeepersfriend.com/ge

Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, visit cafeappliances.com/parts.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a 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 surfaces.

CAUTION When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that you do not touch the light with moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot light may break if touched with a moist surface. Always let the light cool completely before cleaning around it.

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

This hood may be vented vertically through upper cabinets, soffit or ceiling. A duct transition piece is supplied for vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.

Use metal ductwork only.

Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:

1.Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.

2.Maintain a constant duct size.

3.Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.

4.Do not use any type of flexible ducting.

Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.

Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition needed in advance.

When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit cafeappliances.com for available makeup air solutions.

Wall Framing for Adequate Support

This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided. The hood must be secured to vertical studs in the wall. See page 15.

We strongly recommend that the vent hood with duct cover be on site before final framing and wall finishing. This will also help to accurately locate the ductwork and electrical service.

For Ducting Through Rear Wall:

Measure the supplied duct transition with any straight run length of duct used, plus 90” elbow height. Draw a horizontal line on the wall intersecting the centerline.

House Wiring Location:

The junction box is fastened to the back of the hood on the right side. See illustrations for hood knockout locations.

NOTE: The junction box can be relocated to the inside top of the hood.

House wiring may enter the junction box from the rear or the top of the hood at the right side.

To route house wiring through the ceiling or soffit:

Cut a hole approximately 1” dia., 5-7/8” forward on the ceiling; 11-1/8” to the right of the centerline for 30” models or 14-1/8” to the right of the centerline for 36” models.

To route house wiring through the wall:

Cut a hole approximately 1” dia. 10-1/16” down from the top of the hood, 11-1/8” to the right of the centerline for 30” models or 14-1/8” to the right of the centerline for 36” models.

Remove top or rear knockout depending on your installation.

Install strain relief onto back or top of hood.

Installation Space

Drill 1/8” pilot holes through the support, drywall and into the studs. Secure the support to 2 or more vertical studs with supplied wood screws.

IMPORTANT: Screws must penetrate at least 1-1/2” into vertical studs. Countersink screws into support.

13-1/16”

1/4” gap

Install mounting screws in the center of the wood support, 13-1/6” from the centerline. The screws should protrude forward 1/4”. This 1/4” gap will provide clearance to hang the hood.

Place the transition piece over the hood exhaust. Secure transition to hood with 4 screws provided.

Use duct tape to seal the connection.

3INSTALL HOOD ONTO WALL

Lift the hood and place over the wood support. The top keyhole slots in the hood should engage the protruding mounting screws. Allow the hood to slide down into position.

Pull house wiring through knockout at the rear or top of the hood.

Check to be sure the hood is level and centered. The arrow shaped cutout in the back of the hood allows viewing the marked centerline.

Remove cover from junction box.

Drill Bottom Mounting Hole Locations

Drill 1/8” pilot holes into the two lower mounting holes. Enlarge the holes if they do not enter studs to 3/8”. Tap anchors for wall fasteners into bottom holes. Install screws by hand into the fasteners to allow anchors to expand against the wall. Remove screws.

Using two large flat washers (supplied), install wood screws or wall fastener screws, loosely, into lower mounting holes. Do not tighten.

Check hood level. Tighten upper screws. Tighten lower mounting screws.

For additional security, drive screws through the original wood support screw holes in the back of the hood.
