SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off
at service panel and lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched
on accidentally. When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
C. Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed
control device.
D. This unit must be grounded.
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 Flambé).
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.

not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
B. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may be
burned.
C. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels—a violent steam explosion will result.
D. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
3. The fire department is being called.

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 the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Metal Grease Filter
The metal filters trap grease during cooking.
The filter must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in
use. The grease filter is dishwasher-safe and should be
cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.
To remove:
Pull downward on the filter lock to release the filter.
To replace:
Fit the tabs at the bottom of the filter into the slots in the
back of the filter opening. Lift up the front side of the filter
and push gently until the filter locks into place. Make sure
the filter lock is in the closed position to secure the filter.
To clean, swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse
in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use
abrasive cleansers.
NOTE: Some discoloration may occur in the dishwasher.
Grease filter
NOTE: For this
configuration one
grease filter is
only used in the
vented mode.
CARE AND CLEANING: Filters
Charcoal Filter (for recirculation installation only)
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air needs to
be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that
helps remove smoke and odors.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be
replaced. It is recommended that the charcoal filter
be replaced every 6-12 months or if it is noticeably
dirty or discolored.
To inquire about purchasing replacement charcoal filters
or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please
visit GEApplianceParts.com.
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.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an
automatic dishwasher.
NOTE: For this
configuration
charcoal filter is
installed in place

WARNING
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.
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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
FOR YOUR SAFETY
WARNING
switch power off at service panel and lock the
service disconnecting means to prevent power from

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
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.
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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
Exhaust connection
This hood is designed to be vented vertically using a 7" round duct or a 3 1»4” x 10” rectangular duct or
horizontally using a 3 1»4” x 10” rectangular duct.
Duct length
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use
of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan
with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold
growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

ADVANCE PLANNING
Vented Install Planning
• This hood is designed to be vented vertically using
a 7" round duct or a 3 1»4" x 10" rectangular duct or
horizontally using a 3
• Use metal ductwork only.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• 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 at the exterior
opening. Purchase the wall or roof cap and any
transition and length of duct needed in advance.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
• When applicable, install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building
code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for
available makeup air solutions.
Recirculation Install Planning
This hood may be installed in recirculation mode
and is shipped in this configuration. The charcoal
filter is necessary for recirculation installation.
