ToMaintain:
FILTER:
The hood is equipped with one removable metal filter that separates grease from the air
being vented through the hood. Filter must be in placeand relativelyclean to do anefficient
job. DO NTOTOPERATE THE HOOD WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE. The filter
is located behind the hood extension.
Filter becomes soiled over aperiod of time. The efficiency of your hood depends on how
clean the filter is. Frequency of cleaning, or replacing depends on the type of cooking you
C1O,but filter should be cleaned AT LEAST ONCE AMONTH. Also, clean frequently
the grease-laden surfaces adjacent to the filter.
Extend hood as far as possible, or remove hood extension if desired, see above. Place
fingerson each side at bottom of filter. Press filterto left until it clears the holder on right
side, remove. When clean, replace. Push filter against clip at left and press left until filter
clears holder at right side. Push filter toward opening and releaseso it slips behind holder.
To CLEAN
Hood extension— remove and wash with hot detergent solution. Rinse and dry with soft
cloth.
Filter—agitate in hot detergent solution. Light brushing may be used to help remove
imbedded soil and dust. With careful use and handling the filter will last for years. How-
ever if replacement becomes necessary, obtain afilter from your dealer for your specific
range model.

Your ventilating hood has built-in protection against overheating. If the motor overheats -- =
it will turn off automatically and turn on again when it has cooled. Motor shut off is an
inciication of trouble.
.-———.——— FREQUENT OVERHEATING AND SHUT OFF WILL DAMAGE MOTOR BEAR-
INGS. POSSIBLE CAUSES, SUCH AS THE FAN BLADE STRIKING THE HOOD
SHELL OR EXCESSIVELY SOILED FILTERS, SHOULD BE CHECKED AND COR-
RECTED BEFORE USING THE HOOD AGAIN.
If the fan doesnot operate when the fan switch is“ON” and thehood isextended, check the
main fuse or circuit breaker.
If the fan operates, but slower than normal, the motor may need oiling. Call your General
Electric serviceman.
If the fan keeps going off and on, check to be sure that the metal grease filter is clean. If
the fan should continue cycling off and on, call your General Electric serviceman.
