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 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.

Charcoal Filter

For recirculating installation only

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced.

WARNING

2 people are required to lift and

position the hood onto the mounting screws.

• Lift the hood onto the mounting screws.
  If using a wall fastener, make sure the washer is in front of the flange and not behind it. Check with a level before tightening screws.
  Install lower screws to pull the hood tight against the wall.

STEP 5: SIZE AND CUT DUCT PIECE

Measure from the bottom of the air deflector to the top of the hood as shown. Reduce that dimension by 1" to facilitate installation. The duct will cover and overlap the deflector and the exhaust outlet in the hood.
- Remove the air deflector from the duct cover bracket.

Cut the duct piece to size and slip onto the bottom of the deflector.
- Place the assembled deflector and duct over the exhaust outlet.
Hold the assembly against the duct bracket.
Drive 2 screws into each side of the bottom of the deflector and into the bracket.
Use duct tape to seal duct to the deflector and at the exhaust outlet.

STEP 6: CONNECT ELECTRICAL

Verify that power is turned off at the source.

WARNING

If house wiring is not 2-wire with

a ground wire, a ground must be provided by the installer. When house wiring is aluminum, be sure to use U.L. approved anti-oxidant compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors.

• Remove the 6 screws on the junction box cover and the knockout on the top left side.

• Secure the house wiring to the junction box with a strain relief.

• Connect the white lead to the branch circuit white lead.
• Connect the black lead to the branch circuit black lead.
• Connect the green/yellow lead to the branch circuit green lead or bare ground lead.
• Secure all the connections with wire nuts on each electrical connector.
• Push the wires into the junction box and replace the cover. Be sure the wires are not pinched.
• Secure the junction box cover with the 6 original screws.

STEP 7: INSTALL DUCT COVERS

• Remove protective plastic covering.
  ■ Assemble duct covers according to application.

NOTE: The upper duct cover has vent holes on one end intended for use when the hood is installed for recirculating purposes. Be sure the vented end is at the top; the vent holes will be visible in this installation.

Slide the upper duct cover into the folded ends of the lower duct cover.

Place the decorative duct covers on top of the hood.

• Extend the inner duct cover upward to the ceiling bracket.
• Secure with 2 screws to the duct cover bracket.
• Remove the packing material from the filter opening.

• Locate the screw holes on the inside front edge of the opening. Install 2 screws to secure the lower duct cover to the hood.

STEP 8: INSTALL FILTERS

Charcoal Filter

Insert the charcoal filter into the opening. Push the latch on both sides toward the center and engage the flange.

Metal Grease Filter

• Remove the protective film on the grease filter.
  Fit the tabs at the end of the filter into the slots in 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 remove the filter, pull downward on the filter lock to release.

STEP 9: FINALIZE INSTALLATION

• Remove all tape and packaging materials.
  Refer to the Operating Instructions in this manual to operate the hood.

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/Light does not operate when either button is pressed	A house fuse may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped.	Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Fan does not operate when fan + or - buttonor MEMORY/OFF button is pressed	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. See the Installation Instructions for the plug location and how to plug in the connector.
Loud or abnormal airflow noise	Wrong duct size used in installation.	This hood requires 8" minimum ducting to perform optimally. Using smaller duct pipe will cause improper venting. GE Appliances service technicians cannot correct this issue if installed improperly.
Fan fails to circulate air or moves air slower than normal and/or fan is making loud or abnormal airflow noise	Obstructions in duct work. Make sure damper blade on wall or roof cap may not be open.	Be nothing is blocking the vent. Make sure flip over and will not fully open when this happens. Adjust to original position.
	Damper blade on wall or roof cap may not be open.	Make sure damper swings freely. Damper blades may flip over and will not fully open when this happens. Adjust to original position.
	Metal grease filter and charcoal filter (if present) may be dirty.	Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter (if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.
	Insufficient makeup (replacement) air	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.
The hood controls are not operating correctly	Control logic confused. Disconnect	power to the hood by resetting the circuit breaker. Wait 30 seconds to allow controls to reset.
Hood does not appear to operate when the MEMORY/OFF button is pressed. All collars around the push buttons are illuminated.	The memory feature of this hood has not been set. This is normal.	Follow procedures for setting the MEMORY/OFF button. Adjust the Fan and Light settings to your preference.
Fan turned on by itself and is in MED setting. The fan setting can be adjusted but not to OFF.	The heat sensor is activated. This is normal when temperatures below the hood are exceeding the heat sensor limits. Remove the heat source under the hood or wait until the hood cools to appropriate levels. The hood will automatically turn itself off or return to its original setting once the heat sensor detects the temperature has reached a safe condition.
A collar around a push button is not illuminating when pressed.	Push button may be stuck. Check affected push button and ensure that it is not stuck. Call for service if problem persists.
Two or more collars around the push buttons are not illuminating when pressed.	Two or more push buttons may be stuck. Check affected push buttons and ensure that they are not stuck. Call for service if problem persists.
Sequential presses of the LIGHT or FAN buttons will change the setting from lowest setting to OFF, to highest setting, to OFF, to the lowest setting.	This is normal. It is a feature of the hood that the LIGHT and FAN buttons will cycle around through the settings so that you can easily set the controls to your desired setting.	No action required.
