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

FAN OFF LO MED LO MED HI HI LIGHT OFF HI NITE ① ②

1. FAN Control: Turn the FAN speed control to LO, MED LO, MED HI or HI, 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. NOTE: When the fan is operating on the LO setting, it will be very quiet. Always make sure that the fan is turned OFF when you are finished in the kitchen.

2. LIGHT Control: Turn the LIGHT control to HI for bright light while cooking. Turn to NITE for use as a night light.

Filters

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

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 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.

To remove:

Grasp the filter handle and pull it up, forward and out.

To replace:

1. Hold the filter at the bottom with the handle.
2. Place the top end of the filter against the inside front of the hood.
3. Slide it up until it stops and push the bottom end back until it snaps into place.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Cause	What To Do
Fan does not operate when the switch is on	A fuse may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped.	Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
	The blower connector is loose or not plugged into its mating connector.	Disconnect power to the unit. Remove the filters and look up at the blower. If the blower connector plug is loose or you see the connector dangling, the installer failed to plug it in securely. Although it is a blind connection, it is easy to plug in. See the Installation Instructions in this manual for the plug location and how to plug the connector in.
Fan fails to circulate air or moves air slower than normal	Excessively soiled filters. Remove the filters, clean if necessary and replace them. If cleaning and replacing the filters does not correct the problem, call for service.
		Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for exhausting appliances to operate to rating. Check with local building codes, which may require or strongly advise the use of makeup air. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
