FAN Control
Press the rocker switch at the top to turn the fan on
HIand at the bottom to turn it on LOW.The center
position is OFF.
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.
LIGHT Control
Pressthe rocker switch at the bottom to turn the light ON
while cooking. Pressthe rocker switch at the top to turn
the light OFF.
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.
Filter locks
If it ever becomes necessary to replace
the metal grease filters, they may be
ordered from your GE supplier.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
Thehood has 2 metal reusablegrease
filters.
Themetal filters trap grease released
by foods on the cooktop. Theyalso help
prevent flaming foods on the cooktop
from damaging the inside ofthe hood.
Forthis reason,the filters must ALWAYS
be in placewhen the hood isused.The
grease filters should be cleaned once a
month, or as needed.
To remove, pressthe filter locksback
and pull the filters down and out.
To replace, insert the rear filter tabs
in the frame slotsat the back of the
opening. Pushthe filters up and lock
them into place.
To clean the grease filters,soak them
and then swishthem around in hot
water and detergent. Don't useammonia
or ammonia products because they will
darken the metal. Donot useabrasives
or oven cleaners.Light brushing can be
usedto remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and letthem dry before replacing.
They may also be cleaned in an
automatic dishwasher.
NOTE:Beforecleaning,make surethe
charcoal filters,ifpresent,are unclipped
and removed.Seethe CharcoalFilters
section.

Care and cleaning of the vent hood. GEAppliances.com
The charcoal filters are clipped
inside of each reusable metal
grease filter.
Charcoal Filters (onsomemodels)
cannot be cleaned.
They must be replaced.
Order Kitno.
WBO2X11000
Thiskit canbeordered
from your GEsupplier.
NOTE:Charcoal filtersare not
included with the hood.They
must be ordered from your
GEsupplier.
Ifthe model isnot vented
to the outside,the air will
be recirculated through
disposable charcoal filters that
help remove smoke and odors.
Thecharcoal filters should
be replaced when they are
noticeably dirty or discolored
(usually after 6-12 months,
depending on hood usage).
NOTE:DONOTrinse,or put
charcoal filtersin an automatic
dishwasher.
Note: If the hood in installed
for recirculation mode, it is
not ENERGY STAR@certified.
Painted Surfaces (onsome models)
Toclean the hood surface, usea hot, damp
cloth with a mild detergent suitable for
painted surfaces.Usea clean,hot, damp
cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean
cloth.
Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive
cleaners.They will scratch the surface. Wipe
with a clean, hot, damp cloth after using
cleansers.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use asteel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
Toclean the stainless steelsurface, use
warm sudsywater or a stainlesssteel
cleaner or polish.Alwayswipe the surface in
the direction of the grain. Followthe cleaner
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:Readthe ductwork sections only if you do not have
existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork, skip to
the "Damage" section end proceed.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside,
This hood can be vented vertically through upper cabinets
or horizontally through an outside wall. Ductwork isnot
included.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting.
If a 7" round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less then a
7" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
Forsatisfactory air movement, the total duct length of a
3¼"x 10" rectangular should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.
NOTE:It'simportant that ducting beinstalled usingthe
most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent
to a section of straight duct longer than their actual
physical size.When calculating the total duct length, add
the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus
the length of all straight duct sections.The charts on the
following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent
ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent
length of some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT:If a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor isused, the bottom
corners of the damper will have to
be cut to fit, using the tin snips,in
order to allow free movement of the
damper. Equivalent lengths of duct
pieces are based on actual tests and
reflect requirements for good venting
performance with any hood.
