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.

GE Cafe CV966TSS - Care and cleaning of the vent hood. - 1

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:

Hold the filter at the bottom with the handle.

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.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudy 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.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number:

National Parts Center 800.626.2002
