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 at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
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.

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.

Using the hood controls.
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Your model will have one of the above type of controls.
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.
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.
If it ever becomes necessary to replace the metal grease filters, they may be ordered from your GE supplier.
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 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.

The charcoal filters are clipped inside of each reusable metal grease filter.
Charcoal Filters (on some models)
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be replaced.
For 30″ hood models, order Kit no. WB02X10707.
For 36″ hood models, order Kit no. WB02X10708.
These kits can be ordered from your GE supplier.
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filters should be replaced when they are noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher.
