FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
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.
C. Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed
control device.
D. If using a cord connection kit, use only with range
hood cord-connection kit JXHC1 that has been
investigated and found acceptable for use with
this model range hood.
E. This unit must be grounded.
CAUTION – FOR GENERAL VENTILATING
USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR
EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
A. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner.
BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
B. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—
You may be burned.
C. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels—a violent steam explosion will result.
D. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by NFPA.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF A 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.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking on high
heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
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.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

AVERTISSEMENT – POUR
RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE D’UN FEU DE GRAISSE SUR
LA SURFACE DE CUISSON DE LA CUISINIÈRE :
A. Ne laissez jamais sans surveillance les unités de
cuisson de surface à une température élevée. Le
bouillonnement occasionne des débordements
fumants et graisseux qui peuvent prendre feu.
Chauffez à feu doux les substances huileuses,
avec un réglage bas ou moyen.
B. ALLUMEZ toujours la hotte en cas de cuisson à
feu élevé ou lorsque vous faites flamber des aliments
(par exemple, crêpes Suzette, cerises jubilées, bœuf
au poivre flambé).
C. Nettoyez les mécanismes de ventilation fréquemment.
Il ne faut pas permettre une accumulation de graisse
sur le ventilateur ou sur le filtre.
D. Utilisez une casserole de bonne taille. Utilisez toujours
un ustensile de cuisine qui convienne au diamètre
de l’élément de cuisson.
AVERTISSEMENT – POUR
RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE D’INCENDIE, DE SECOUSSE
ÉLECTRIQUE OU DE BLESSURE CORPORELLE,
OBSERVEZ LES PRÉCAUTIONS SUIVANTES :
A. Vous devez faire exécuter tous les travaux d’installation
et de câblage électrique par une personne qualifiée,
conformément à tous les codes et les normes en
vigueur, en particulier ceux de construction relatifs
aux incendies.
B. Vous devez assez d’air pour avoir une bonne
combustion et permettre l’évacuation des gaz par le
conduit de cheminée du matériel de combustion du
carburant, afin d’éviter tout retour d’air. Suivez les
directives du fabricant de matériel de combustion
et les normes de sécurité comme celles publiées
par la National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
l’American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), ainsi que les
modalités des codes locaux.
C. Si vous faites un trou ou une ouverture dans un mur
ou un plafond, n’endommagez pas les fils électriques
et les autres installations cachées de service public.
D. Vous devez toujours alimenter les ventilateurs dans
les conduits en air en provenance de l’extérieur.

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.
The efficiency of your hood
depends on a clean filter. Frequency
of cleaning depends on 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 replacing.
NEVER OPERATE THE HOOD
WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.
With careful handling, the metal
filter will last for years. If a new
replacement filter becomes
necessary, order the part from
your dealer. Order genuine GE
part number WB02X8391.

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
(on some models)
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 it with
a type A15 incandescent light bulb with
an ordinary screw base, not more than
60 Watts, or a type A17 or T2 Compact
Fluorescent (CFL) light bulb with an
ordinary screw base, not more than
13 Watts. NOTE: Use only incandescent
bulbs in models RN328, JN327 and JV338.
IMPORTANT:For installation, handling
and disposal precautions, refer to the
fluorescent bulb packaging literature.

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.
