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), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsCustomer Service Installation Instructions
Using the hood controls.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
FAN Control
Turn or press (according to your model) the
FAN
speed control to LO,
MED, HI
or
BOOST
, as needed.
Continuous use of the fan system while cooking
helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less
humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling
moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.
LIGHT Control
Turn or press (according to your model) the
LIGHT
control to
BRIGHT
for bright light while cooking.
Turn or press to
NITE
for use as a night light.
FAN ON Light
The
FAN ON
indicator light will glow when the fan
is turned on.
Your model will have one of the above type of controls.
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 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 remove, slide the filters to the
rear using the tab. Pull them down
and out.
To replace, slide the filters in the
frame slot on the back of the
opening. Push up and back and
then to the front to lock into place.
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. They may
also be cleaned in an automatic
dishwasher.
NOTE: Before cleaning, make sure the
charcoal filters, if present, are unclipped
and removed. See the Charcoal Filters
section.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
If it ever becomes necessary to replace
the metal grease filters, they may be
ordered from your GE supplier.
