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 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 and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken 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.

If it ever becomes necessary to replace the metal grease filters, they may be ordered from your GE supplier.

Filter locks

Care and cleaning of the vent hood.

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

To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners. They will scratch the surface. Wipe with a clean, hot, damp cloth after using cleansers.

Painted Surfaces

(on some models)

This hood requires two bulbs (not included), maximum 50 watts.

Purchase and install PAR20, 50 W Maximum halogen bulbs.

When replacing a bulb, let it cool first. Make sure that power to the light has been turned off. Never allow a hot bulb to come into contact with water.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

electric shock, do not connect electrical power to the hood without both bulbs in place.

To change the light bulbs:

Grasp the bulb on the edges and unscrew it.

Replace with the same size bulb.

CAUTION:

■ Do not touch the hood light bulbs when they

are on. They may be hot enough to cause injury.

■ The light bulbs operate at extremely high

temperatures. If they shatter, the hot glass could cause personal injury.

Hood Lights

NOTE: Charcoal filters 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 filters that help remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filters 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 filters in an automatic dishwasher.

Charcoal Filters

(on some models)

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

For 30″ hood models, order Kit no. WB02X11000.

For 36″ hood models, order Kit no. WB02X11001.

These kits can be ordered from your GE supplier.

The charcoal filters are clipped inside of each reusable metal grease filter.

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 appliance requires basic mechanical and electrical skills.

• Completion time – 1–3 hours

• Proper installation is the responsibility of the

installer.

• Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.

• Use only with approved cord kit, JXHC1.

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.

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 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular ducting or 7″ diameter round ducting.

If a 6″ round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round 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 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular, 6″ or 7″ diameter round duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.

NOTE: It’s 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.
