Replaceable Filter

The efficiency of your hood depends upon a clean filter. The frequency of filter replacement depends on the type of cooking you do; however, with average, normal usage, replacement should be every 6 to 12 months.

NEVER OPERATE YOUR HOOD WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.

When to replace the filter: The filter has distinct color stripes of indicating material on the visible surface. It is TIME TO CHANGE when the stripes have either blended together or faded completely.

To remove: Push on the retaining clip to release the

right edge of the filter. The filter will then slip out of the retaining slot on the left.

To replace: Slip the left edge into the retaining slot. Push the right side of the filter up and lock in place with the retaining clip.

Replace with genuine GE part: filter part number WB02X9761.

To order, call: Your local GE dealer, GE Service & Parts Center (see the telephone White Pages) or GE Answer Center 1-800-626-2000.

Clean grease laden surfaces of the hood frequently. Use warm detergent solution. About 1 tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. TAKE CARE TO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH FILTERS AND OTHER NON-ENAMELED SURFACES. The hood shell can be washed, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth.

CAUTION: Be certain when cleaning hood

surfaces you do not touch lamp bulb with moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot lamp bulb may break if touched with a moist surface. ALWAYS let lamp cool COMPLETELY before cleaning around it.
