<![endif]>CARE AND CLEANING: Filters

Filters

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filter traps grease released by foods from the cooktop. The filter also helps prevent flames (from food, grease) from damaging the inside of the hood.

For this reason, 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 end of the filter into the slots in left side of the filter opening. Lift up the right 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 will occur in the dishwasher.

Charcoal Filter

For recirculating installation only

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced.

Installation Preparation

PREPARE TO INSTALL THE HOOD

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

ŶDetermine the exact location of the vent hood.

ŶUse rigid metal ductwork only.

ŶPlan 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.

ŶUse the shortest and straightest duct route possible.

ŶInstall a roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Order the cap and any transitions and length of duct needed in advance.

ŶWhen applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.

Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support

ŶThese vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided. The ceiling structure must be capable of supporting the weight of the hood and any inadvertent user contact loads (approximately 200 pounds). The hood support frame will be supported by 2 x 4 cross framing.

ŶInstallation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cooktop or countertop below is installed.

Duct Covers

ŶAll models are shipped with duct covers. For supplied duct cover ceiling heights for vented installation and recirculating installation, refer to table on page 12.

POWER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)

ŶRoute house wiring in the ceiling, as close to the installation location as possible. Allow additional length from ceiling joists to reach the junction box on the bottom of the hood support frame.

ŶConnect the wiring to the house wiring in accordance with local codes.

Grounding Instructions

The grounding conductor must be connected to a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.

WARNING

The improper connection of equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

This Hood MUST Use an 8” Round Duct. It Can Transition to a 3-1/4” x 12” Duct.

DO NOT use flexible plastic ducting.

NOTE: Any home ventilation system, such as a ventilation hood, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other naturally vented systems.
