Care and cleaning of the vent hood. ge.com

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

The metal filter traps grease released by foods from the cooktop. The filter also helps prevent flames (from food, grease) from damaging the inside of the hood.

For this reason, the filter must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in use. The grease filter is dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.

To remove:

Pull downward on the filter lock to release the filter.

To replace:

Fit the tabs at the end of the filter into the slots in the left side of the filter opening. Lift up the right side of the filter and push gently until the filter locks into place. Make sure the filter lock is in the closed position to secure the filter.

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 will occur in the dishwasher.
