<![endif]>CARE AND CLEANING: Filters / Surfaces
Filters
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Reusable Metal Grease Filter—Ducted Installations Only
The efficiency of your hood depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on hood use and the type of cooking you do. However, the grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month.
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.
To clean:
Soak and then agitate it in a hot water and detergent solution. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.
NEVER OPERATE THE HOOD WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.
With careful handling, the metal filter will last for years. If a new replacement filter becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer. Order genuine GE Appliances part number WB02X8391.
Grease filter
Charcoal Filter—Recirculating Installations Only
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order filter no. WB02X10700. Replacement filters can be ordered from your GE Appliances supplier.
If the hood 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 after 6 to 12 months (depending on hood usage).
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.
Replaceable charcoal filter
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher.
Surfaces
Stainless Steel 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 or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number:
National Parts Center 800.626.2002 GEApplianceParts.com
Painted Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners. They will scratch the surface.
Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to come in contact with filters and other non-enameled surfaces.
CAUTION When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that you do not touch the light bulb with moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot light bulb may break if touched with a moist surface. Always let the light bulb cool completely before cleaning around it.

“If you have questions, call GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) or visit our website at: GEAppliances.com”
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
• IMPORTANT — Save these instructions for local inspector’s use.
• IMPORTANT — Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
•Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these instructions with the Consumer.
•Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions for future reference.
•Skill level – Installation of this vent hood requires basic mechanical and electrical skills.
•Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.
•Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
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.
OPTIONAL POWER CORD KIT JXHC1
An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model JXHC1, is available at extra cost from your GE Appliances supplier for installation using a standard 3-prong, grounded wall outlet. Follow the Installation Instructions packed with the kit to connect the power cord to the range hood.
DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
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
VWDQGDUG » Ǝ [ Ǝ UHFWDQJXODU GXFWLQJ RU Ǝ GLDPHWHU round ducting.
,I D Ǝ URXQG GXFW LV UHTXLUHG D UHFWDQJXODU WR URXQG transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than D Ǝ diameter duct.
Duct length:
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. When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in
accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
•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 with damper at the exterior opening. Purchase the wall or roof cap and any transition and length of duct needed in advance.
*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.
