PRÉCAUTIONS EN MATIÈRE DE SÉCURITÉ

▲ AVERTISSEMENT – POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE D'INCENDIE, DE SECOUSSE ÉLECTRIQUE OU DE BLESSURE CORPORELLE, OBSERVEZ LES PRÉCAUTIONS SUIVANTES :

Using the hood controls.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Control Knobs (on some models)

FAN Control

Turn to LO, MED, HI or MAX as needed.

Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.

LIGHT Control

Turn to HI while cooking or to NITE for use as a night light.

Rocker Switch Controls (on some models)

FAN Control

Press the rocker switch at the top to turn the fan on HI and at the bottom to turn it on LOW. The center position is OFF.

Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.

LIGHT Control

Press the rocker switch at the top to turn the light ON while cooking. Press the rocker switch at the bottom for use as a night light. The center position is OFF.

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.

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

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.

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

Charcoal Filters (on some models)

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

For 30 " hood models, order Kit no. WB02X10707.

For 36 " hood models, order Kit no. WB02X10708.

These kits can be ordered from your GE supplier.

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.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

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.

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.

⚠ 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.

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.

When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with standard 3 14 " 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 314 " x 10" rectangular, 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.
