SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

A 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 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.

WARNING –

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 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 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.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your hood unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Using the hood controls.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

FAN Control

Turn the FAN speed control to LO, MED LO, MED HI or HI, 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.

NOTE: When the fan is operating on the LO setting, it will be very quiet. Always make sure that the fan is turned OFF when you are finished in the kitchen.

LIGHT Control

Turn the LIGHT control to HI for bright light while cooking. Turn to NITE for use as a night light.

Care and Cleaning

Care and cleaning of the vent hood. www.GEAppliances.com

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 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.

To remove:

Grasp the filter handle and pull it up, forward and out.

To replace:

Hold the filter at the bottom with the handle.

Place the top end of the filter against the inside front of the hood.

Slide it up until it stops and push the bottom end back until it snaps into place.

Reusable Metal Grease Filters

To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners. They will scratch the surface.

Painted 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, a stainless steel cleaner such as Kleen King®, or an all-purpose liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the grain. Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel Magic

, Revere Copper and

Stainless Steel Cleaner

or Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish®. Follow the product instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

(on some models)

If it ever becomes necessary to replace the metal grease filters, they may be ordered from your GE supplier.

Care and Cleaning

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.

Hood Lights

NOTE: The glass cover should be removed

only when cold. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.

CAUTION: Before replacing your

light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the hood at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

For your safety, do not touch a hot bulb with bare hands or a damp cloth.

To remove:

Turn the glass cover counterclockwise until the glass cover clears the socket.

Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To replace:

Use a new 12-volt, 20-watt (maximum) Halogen bulb for a G-4 base.

Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the new bulb from its packaging.

NOTE: Do not touch the new halogen bulb with bare fingers. Touching the bulb with bare fingers will significantly reduce the life of the bulb.

Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.

Place the glass cover onto the socket and turn clockwise until secure.

For improved lighting, clean the glass cover frequently using a damp cloth. This should be done when the hood is completely cool.

Reconnect electrical power to the hood.
