Baffle Grease Filters and Drip Trays (on some models)

Some models have reusable metal grease baffles and drip trays.

The metal baffles channel grease released by foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The baffles also help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.

For this reason, the baffles must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease baffles and drip trays should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

To clean the grease baffles and drip trays, drain and wipe all excess grease with a dry paper towel. 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. Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing. They may also be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher.

To remove:

Grasp the baffle knobs and pull them up, forward and out. Grasp the drip tray and carefully lift it up and out of the hood track.

To replace the drip trays:

1. Place and seat the drip tray into the hood track.
2. Slide them left or right until all trays are side-by-side in place in the track.

To replace the baffles:

1. Hold the baffle at the bottom by one of the knobs.
2. Place the other end of the baffle against the inside front of the hood.
3. Slide it up and push the bottom end back until it firmly seats into place.

To clean behind the knobs:

If the knobs are difficult to remove, place a non-abrasive cloth between the knob gap and hood body to assist with pulling the knobs off for cleaning.

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

These vent hoods are equipped for 10" round ductwork. For best performance, use 10" round ductwork on the 48" wide hoods.
This hood may be vented vertically through upper cabinets, soffit or ceiling. A duct transition piece is supplied for vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.
■ Use metal ductwork only.
■ Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
■ 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.

4. Do not use any type of flexible ducting.

■ Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.
■ Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition needed in advance.
■ When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.

Wall Framing for Adequate Support

■ This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided. The hood must be secured to vertical studs in the wall. See page 14.
■ We strongly recommend that the vent hood with duct cover be on site before final framing and wall finishing. This will also help to accurately locate the ductwork and electrical service.

Decorative Duct Covers:

Decorative duct covers, 6" and 12" high, are available to fit all models. The duct cover conceals the ductwork running from the top of the hood to the ceiling or soffit. Stack one or more duct covers over the top of the hood to reach your ceiling height.

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
Fan and lights do not operate when the switches are turned on	■ The hood was never electrically connected by the installer/ electrician/builder. Call the electrician/installer/builder to complete the installation. This is not covered by warranty.■ A fuse may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
The blower does not work but the lights do	■ The blower motor wire harness was not connected or was not connected properly by the installer/electrician/builder to its mating connector located inside the hood on the top surface, to the left of the blower assembly.1. 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.2. Remove the filters and locate the blower wire harness connector. Is it plugged into its mating connector?3. If no, plug the blower motor connector into its mating connector on the top of the hood. Switch the power back on. Check to see if the fan now works.4. If no, check the circuit breaker/fuse. If it is blown/tripped, replace/reset it. Does the blower work now? If no, call GE Appliances for service.
The blower fails to exhaust the smoke/ steam/ odors adequately	■ Many factors could be the root cause for reduced air-flow.1. Installation could be the problem: Your hood was designed to meet specific ducting requirements. If your duct length exceeds the manufacturer's requirements, hood performance will suffer. Air-flow will also be reduced if the house duct work is too small or there are too many elbows in the system. Contact your installer or builder.2. Obstruction in duct work could be the problem: Make sure nothing is blocking the vent (bird nests or kinks in the duct work).3. Damper blade may not be opening: Make sure the tape is removed from the damper blades and that it swings open freely.4. Damper blade on Wall or Roof Cap may not be opening: Contact your builder so they can make sure the damper swings open freely.5.
