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.

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.
NOTE: For further cleaning instructions/suggestions,

please refer to the Care and Cleaning section.

To start the pairing process on the hood, press and hold
the Chef Connect button for 3 seconds. The backlight
for the Low-Med-High-Light-Chef Connect buttons will
flash in that sequence until the hood is paired with the
range or other device. If the pairing is successful, all five

IC: 10229A-WCATA001
MAC ID: ************

Sample Label

2. Have your smart phone or tablet ready with the ability
to access the internet and download apps.

3. You will need to know the password of your home
Wi-Fi router. Have this password ready while you are
setting up your GE Appliances hood.

Network: ************
Password: **********

Connect your GE Appliances hood

1. On your smart phone or tablet visit
GEAppliances.com/connect to learn more about
connected appliance features and to download the
appropriate app.

2. Follow the app onscreen instructions to connect your
GE Appliances hood.

3. Once the process is complete, the connection light

Filters

Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
The metal baffles channel grease released by foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The baffles also help prevent

flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
The baffles must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in use. The grease baffles and drip trays are dishwasher-

safe and should be cleaned every month, depending on usage of the hood.

Grease Drip Tray

To install:

Place and seat the drip trays into the designated hood
track. Slide them left or right until all trays are side-by­side in place in the track.

To remove:

Carefully, use the grease tray lip to lift the tray upwards
and out. The tray will be free of the designated hood track.

To clean:

Swish the drip tray in hot soapy water and rinse in clean
water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.

NOTE: Some discoloration of the filter may occur in the
dishwasher.

Drip Tray Replacement

CARE AND CLEANING: Filters

Baffle Metal Grease Filter

To install:

Insert the top of the baffle into the track behind the
control panel. The arrows on the side of the baffle
should be pointing towards the front of the unit. Slide
the baffle up and push the bottom end back until it firmly
seats into place.

To remove:

Use front knob to pull filter forward, towards the control
panel. The bottom of the filter becomes free of the
grease drip tray. Use back knob to pull the baffle away
from the track behind the control panel.

It is important for baffles to be placed correctly with
arrows on the side pointing towards the front of the
unit to channel grease to the drip trays and avoid
grease accumulation in the baffles.

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 of the filter may occur in the
dishwasher.
