Reusable Metal Grease Filter-Ducted Installations Only
The efficiency of )ore" hood
depends on a clean filter.
Fre(luenc_,, of cleaning, dei)ends on
hood tlse and the tx,])e of cooking
you do. However, the grease filter
should be cleaned at least once a
month.
Toremove:
Pull down on the center of the
fl'ont edge of the filter. The filter
will then slip out of the retaining
robs on the back.
Toreplace:
Slip the back edge of the filter
into the retaining tabs and push
the fl'ont edge up tmtil it snaps
into place.
To clean:
Soak and then agitate it in a hot
water and detergent solution.
I,ight b_ushing can be used to
remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and let it dry befln'e
replacing.
NEVER OPERATETHE HOOD
WITHOUT THEFILTERIN PLACE.
With careful handling, the metal
filter will last for years. If a new
replacement filter becomes
necessary, order the part from
w)ur dealer. Order genuine GE
part ntli//ber WBO2X8391.

Replaceablecharcoalfilter
NOTE: DONOTrinse, or put charcoal filters in
an automatic dishwasher
Charcoal Filter-Recirculating Installations Only
The charcoal filter cannot be
cleaned. It must be replaced. Order
filter no. WBO2XI0700. Replacement
filters can be ordered from your GE
supplier.
If the hood is not vented to
the outside, the air will be
recirculated through a disposable
charcoal filter that helps reinove
Sil/oke and odors.
Toremove:
Pull down on the center of the
fl'ont edge of the filte_; The filter
will then slip out of the retaining
tabs on the back.
Toreplace:
Slip the back edge of the filter
into tile retaining tabs and push
the fl'ont edge up until it snaps
into place.
The charcoal filter should be
replaced after 6 to 12 months
(depending on hood usaoe,_ ).
Painted Surfaces
Do not use steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners. They will scratch
the surface.
Clean grease-laden surlhces of the
hood fl'equently: To clean the hood
surtace, use a hot, damp cloth with a
mild detergent suitable tot painted
surtaces. About one tablespoon of
ammonia mav be added to the water.
Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to
relnove soap. Dry with a dry;
clean cloth.
NOTE:_hen cleaning, take care not
to come in contact with filters and
other non-enameled surfaces.
CAUTION:When cleaning the hood
surfaces, be certain that you do not
touch the light bulb with moist hands or
cloth.A warm or hot light bulb may break
if touched with a moist surface. Always
let the light bulb cool completely before
cleaning around it.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections tufty if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the "Damage" section mid proceed.
Tile venting system must exhaust to tile outside.
This hood can be xented xerticall)through upper
cabinets or hofizoi_tallv thI'oU,d/an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
Exhaust connection:
Tile hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter
round ducting.
If a 6" round duct is required, a rectangula>to-ro/md
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less thm_
a 6" dimneter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfhctory air movement, tile total duct length
of a 3V(' x 10" rectangular, 6" or 7" diameter to/rod
duct should not exceed 65 equivaJent feet. See the
WORKSHEET-CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT
DUCTWORK LENGTH section.
NOTE: It is important that ducting be installed using
tile most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensm'es clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, mane sure dmnpers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resist;race 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 tile ti)llowing pages show you how to calculate
total equivalent ductwork length using tile approximate
teet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
*IMPORTANT: If a rectangula>to-
to/rod transition adaptor is used, tile
bottom corners of tile damper will
have to be cut to fit, using tile fin
snips, in order to allow fl'ee
movement of tile dampe_:
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements ti)r good venting
perii)rmance with anv hood.
