vent hood.
Reusable Metal Grease Filter--Ducted Installations On/g
Greasefilter
The efficiency of your hood
depends on a clean filter. Frequency
of cleaning depends on hood use
and the type of cooking you do.
However, the grease filter should
be cleaned at least once amonth.
To remove:
Pull down on the center of the front
edge of the filter. The filter will then
slip out of the retaining tabs on the
back.
To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter into
the retaining tabs and push the
front edge up until it snaps into
place.
Todean:
Soak and then agitate it in a hot
water and detergent solution. Light
brushing can be used to remove
embedded dirt. Rinse,shake and
let it dry before replacing.
NEVEROPERATETHEHOOD
WITHOUT THEFILTERIN PLACE.
With careful handling, the metal
filter will last for gears. If a new
replacement filter becomes
necessary, order the part from
your dealer. Order genuine GE
part number WBO2X8391.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE:Readthe ductwork sectionsonlg if gou do not
have existing ductwork. If gou have existing ductwork,
skip to the "Damage" section and proceed.

TO PROPERLYEXHAUSTAIR,BESURETO DUCT AIROUTSIDE--
DO NOT VENTEXHAUSTAIRINTOSPACESWITHINWALLS OR
CEILINGSOR INTOATTICS,CRAWL SPACESOR GARAGES.
Theventing system must exhaust to the outside.
This hood can be vented verticallg through upper cabinets
or horizontallg through an outside wall. Ductwork isnot
included.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3_/4"x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter
round ducting.
If a 6" round duct isrequired, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than
a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
Forsatisfactorg air movement, the total duct length
of a 3V4"x 10" rectangular, 6" or 7" diameter round
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. Seethe
WORKSHEET-CALCULATETOTALEQUIVALENT
DUCTWORKLENGTHsection.
NOTE:It isimportant that ducting be installed using
the 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 freel# 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. Thecharts 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:Ifa 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST
If the hood seems to be operating at high speed when
the control is not set on high, or if ventilation seems
inadequate, check the following:
rj Knockouts not removed from hood.
rj Damper blade not opening.
rj Reduced airflow because the duct istoo small or
the duct length is too long.
rj The duct is blocked.
rj Undersized or restrictive wall or roof cap.
If the hood seems to make excessive noise:
rj Fan may be hitting the filter. Turn off the fan and
remove the filter. Bend the filter down slightlg in the
center (into a dome shape) to allow fan clearance.
Reinstall and adjust as needed.
The fan does not work but the lights do:
rj Switch power off at the 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.
rj Check the wiring connections. Seethe CONNECT
