WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

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.
C. Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

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),
and 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.

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.

unscrew it.
Replace with the same size bulb.

temperatures. If they shatter, the hot glass
could cause personal injury.
Hood Lights
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.
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.
The charcoal filters are clipped inside
of each reusable metal grease filter.
