IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
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
medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flanbé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
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 guidelines 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.

in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film
with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance
surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.

Filters
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Reusable Metal Grease Filter—Ducted Installations Only
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.
Charcoal Filter—Recirculating Installations Only
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be
replaced. Order filter no. WB02X10700. Replacement
filters can be ordered from your GE Appliances 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.
CARE AND CLEANING: Filters / Surfaces
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.
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 Appliances part
number WB02X8391.
Grease filter
To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs and
push the front edge up until it snaps into place.
Replaceable charcoal filter
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an
automatic dishwasher.
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 grain. Follow the cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Painted Surfaces (on some models)
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.

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 and proceed.
WARNING
AND TO PROPERLY EXHAUST AIR, BE SURE TO
DUCT AIR OUTSIDE—DO NOT VENT EXHAUST
AIR INTO SPACES WITHIN WALLS OR CEILINGS
OR INTO ATTICS, CRAWL SPACES OR GARAGES.
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
VWDQGDUG»Ǝ[ƎUHFWDQJXODUGXFWLQJRUƎGLDPHWHU
round ducting.
,IDƎURXQGGXFWLVUHTXLUHGDUHFWDQJXODUWRURXQG
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than
DƎ diameter duct.
Duct length:
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. When applicable,
install any makeup (replacement) air system in
accordance with local building code requirements. Visit
GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
• 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.
• Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the
exterior opening. Purchase the wall or roof cap and
any transition and length of duct needed in advance.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
* 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.
