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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
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.
E. When applicable, install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building
code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for
available makeup air solutions.
F. Turn off breaker to adjacent rooms while working.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
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: If surface is still not
clean, see page 8 for more cleaning options.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.

Wi-Fi Connect
Connecting your Wi-Fi Connect Enabled hood (on some models)
Your GE Appliances hood is designed to provide you
with two-way communication between your appliance
and smart device. By using the GE Appliances Wi-Fi
Connect features, you will be able to control essential
hood operations such as fan speed, light functions, delay
off and filter notification using your smartphone or tablet.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
Operation.
What you will need
Your GE Appliances hood uses your existing home Wi-Fi
network to communicate between the appliance and
your smart device. In order to setup your GE Appliances
hood, you will need to gather some information:
1. Each GE Appliances hood has a connected appliance
information label that includes an Appliance Network
USING THE HOOD: Wi-Fi Connect
Name and Password. These are the two important
details that you will need to connect to the appliance.
The label is located on the side of the unit behind the
filters.

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 indicator light
located on your GE Appliances hood display will stay
on solid and the app will confirm you are connected.
4. If the indicator light does not turn on or is blinking,
follow the instructions on the app to reconnect. If
issues continue please call 800.220.6899 and ask for
assistance regarding hood wireless connectivity.
To connect additional smart devices, repeat steps 1 and
2.
Note that any changes or modifications to the remote
enable device installed on this hood that are not
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Enhanced Wi-Fi Features
Once your product is connected to Wi-Fi, you have
access to enhanced features via the phone app.
Delay Off Timer: This feature allows the user to adjust
delay off time from 1 minute to 15 minutes. The default
delay off time is 15 minutes.
Boost Timer: This feature allows the user to adjust the
boost time from 1 minute to 15 minutes. The default
boost time is 15 minutes

sends a regular reminder to the user to clean their
grease filters, and/or to replace their charcoal filter, if the
hood is setup in recirculation mode.
6 49-2000708 Rev. 2
Filters
Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Grease Filter
The filter traps grease released by foods from cooking.
The filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood
is in use. The grease filters are dishwasher-safe and
should be cleaned every month, 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 behind the ledge of
the filter opening. Lift up the front side of the filter, push
downward on the filter lock, and push gently until the filter
is in place. Release the filter lock to secure the filter in
place.
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 to the grease filters
in the dishwasher.
Filter Lock
CARE AND CLEANING: Filters
Charcoal Filter (for recirculation installation only)
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter is NOT included with the unit.
Order charcoal filter UXCF91. It cannot be cleaned;
it must be replaced. It is recommended that the
charcoal filter be replaced every 6 months or if it is
noticeably dirty or discolored.
To reduce the risk of fire and shock, when used in
recirculation mode, use only charcoal filter UXCF91.
To inquire about purchasing replacement charcoal filters
or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call
our toll-free number:
National Parts Center 800.626.2002
To Install
1. Remove the grease filters. See Filters section.
2. Install the charcoal filter mounts to either side of the
motor using three screws per side.
3. Insert the tab on the charcoal filter into the triangular
slot on the mount.
4. Clip the charcoal filter in until it is locked
5. Repeat with second filter on the other side of the
motor.
6. Reattach the metal filters. See Filters section.
To Remove

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 brush line. Follow
the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers
Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust,
tarnish, and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser
free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with
a damp soft sponge.
Lights
To change the LED lamps, schedule a service
appointment. See Consumer Support page in the front of
this manual for a list of websites and contact information.

90º elbow and 8” round duct.
■ Use metal ductwork only.
■ 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.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible
vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that
greatly reduces performance.

any transition and length of duct needed in advance.
■ When applicable, install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building code
requirements. Use makeup air kit JXMUA8.

A recirculation duct and charcoal filter are necessary
for recirculation installation and must be purchased
separately.
