CARE AND CLEANING
Be sure electrical power 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 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.
Charcoal Filters
(on some models)
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be replaced.
For converting vent hood to recirculation mode (not vented to the outside),
order Kit no. KIT0319. This kit contains charcoal filters.
For replacement charcoal filters, order Part no . ACK00059 .
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.
