appliance is switched off. This switches the motor on for 10 minutes every hour at the rst speed. During functioning a rotary movement of the peripheral segments

must be visualised on the display.

When this time has passed the motor switches off and the xed letter “C” must

be visualised on the display until the motor re-starts after 50 minutes for another

10 minutes and so on. Press any key apart from the light keys to return to normal functioning. Press key E to deactivate the function.

• Activecarbon/greaseltersaturation:

- When display item C ashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter F (e.g. 1 and F), the grease lters must be washed.

- When display item C ashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter A (e.g. 1 and A), the carbon lters must be replaced.

After the clean lter has been positioned correctly, the electronic memory must

be reset by pressing button A for approximately 5 seconds, until the indication F or A shown on the display C stops ashing.

MAINTENANCE

• We recommend that the range hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We

also recommend that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the range hood depends on constant maintenance;

the anti-grease lter and the active carbon lter both require special attention.

• Theanti-greaselter is used to trap any grease particles suspended in the

air, therefore is subject to saturation (the time it takes for the lter to become saturated depends on the way in which the appliance is used).

- To prevent potential re hazards, the anti-grease lters should be washed a minimum of every 2 months (it is possible to use the dishwasher for this task).

- To remove lters, refer to Fig.7.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

- After a few washes, the colour of the lters may change. This does not mean they

have to be replaced.

If the replacement and washing instructions are not followed, the anti-grease lters may present a re hazard.

• Theactivecarbonlters(onsomemodels) are used to purify the air which is released back into the room. The lters are not washable or re-usable and must be replaced at least once every four months. The active carbon lter saturation level depends on the frequency with which the appliance is used, the type of cooking performed and the regularity with which the anti-grease lters are cleaned. To remove lters, refer to Fig.6.

• Replacinghalogenlightbulbs(Fig.9):

The light on the range hood is designed for use during cooking and not for general

room illumination. Extended use of the light reduces the average duration of the bulb. To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane C using a lever action

on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type. Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.

CARE AND CLEANING

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

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

Safety InstructionsCare and Cleaning

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, press the filter locks back and pull the filters down and out. To replace, insert the rear filter tabs in the frame slots at the back of the opening.

Push the filters up and lock them into place. To clean the grease filters, soak them and then swish them around in hot water

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.

Charcoal Filters (on some models)

The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be replaced.

For converting vent hood to recirculation mode (not vented to the outside), order Kit no. KIT0319. This kit contains charcoal filters.

For replacement charcoal filters, order Part no. ACK00059.

These kits can be ordered from your GE supplier.

NOTE: Charcoal lters are not included with the hood. They must be ordered from your GE supplier.

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through disposable charcoal lters that help remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal lters should be replaced when they are noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6–12 months, depending on hood usage).

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

•

Note to Consumer –

Keep these instructions

for future reference.

• Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires

basic mechanical and electrical skills.

• Completion time – 30 minutes–3 hours

• Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.

• Product failure due to improper installation is not

covered under the Warranty.

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.

WARNING –

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND TO PROPERLY EXHAUST AIR, BE SURE TO DUCT AIR OUTSIDE— DO NOT VENT EXHAUST AIR INTO SPACES WITHIN WALLS OR CEILINGS OR INTO ATTICS, CRAWL SPACES OR GARAGES.

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.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with standard 6” diameter round ducting.

If a 7” round duct is required, a transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a 6” diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of a 3

⁄4”x 10” rectangular, 6” or 7” diameter round

duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. See the

WORKSHEET–CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT DUCTWORK LENGTH section.

NOTE: It is important that ducting be installed using

the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and

nothing is blocking the ducts.

Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,

present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The charts on the following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

*IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round

transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper. Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any hood.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS

WARNING –

Before beginning the installation, 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.
