Care and Cleaning
Profbssional Island Range Hood
Baffle grease
filters and
drip trays
Island hood models have reusable metal grease
baffles and drip trays.
The metal bafi:les channel grease released by
foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The
baffles also help prevent flaming foods on the
cooktop f]om damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the bafl:les must ALWAYS be in
place when the hood is used. The grease baflqes
and drip trays should be cleaned once a month,
or as needed.
To clean the grease baffles and drip trays,
drain and wipe all excess grease with a d, T
paper towel. 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. Rinse, shake and let them dry
before replacing. They may also be cleaned
in an automatic dishwashen
To remove:
(;rasp both baffle knobs on each filter and
pull them up, finward and out. Grasp the
drip tray and carefully lift it up and out of
the hood track.
To replace the drip trays:
1. Place and seat the drip tray into the
hood track.
2. Slide them left or right undl all trays are
side-bDside in place in the track.
To replace the baffles:
1. Hold the bafi:le at the bottom by one of
the knobs.
2. Place the other end of the bafi:le against
the inside fYont of the hood.
3. Slide it up and push the bottom end back
until it firmly seats into place.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
@FAN AND LIGHTS DO
NOT OPERATE WHEN
THE SWITCHES ARE
TURNED ON
The hood was never electrically connected by the installer/
electrician/builder. Call the electrician/installer/builder to
complete tile installation. This is not covered by warranty.
A fi_se may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace tile filse
or reset the circuit breaker.
Tlle blower IIlotor wire ]larxless was not connected or was not
connected properly by the installer/electrician/builder to its mating
connector located inside tile hood on tile top surface, to tile lea of
the blower assembly.
1. Switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power flom being switched on
accidentally. When tlle service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as
a rag, to tlle service panel.
2. Remove tile filters and locate tile blower wire harness connector.
Is it plugged into its madng connector?
3. If no, plug the blower motor connector into its madng connector
on tlle top of the hood. Switch the power back on. Check to see
if tile fan now works.
THE BLOWER DOES
NOT WORK BUT
THE LIGHTS DO
THE BLOWER FALLS

SMOKE/STEAM/
ODORS ADEQUATELY
4_ If no, check tile circuit breaker/fuse. If it is blown/tripped,
replace/reset it. Does tile blower work now? If no, call GE
for service.
* Many factors could be tile root cause fin reduced air-flow.
1. Installation could be tlle problem: Your hood was designed to
meet specific ducfing requirements. Refer to tile Installation
Instructions or if you do not have them, go to ge.com.
If your duct length exceeds the manufhcmrer's requirements,
hood performance will sufIer. Air-flow will also be reduced if the
house duct work is too small or there are too many elbows in the
system. Contact your installer or buikter
2. Obstruction in duct work could be the problem: Make sure
nothing is blocking the vent (bird nests or kinks in the duct work).
3. Damper blade may not be opening. Make sure tlle rope is removed
flom tile damper blades and that it swings open fleely:
4. Damper blade on Wall or Roof Cap may not be opening. Contact
your builder so they can make sme tlle damper swings open fleel>
5. Dirty filters/baffles--make sure filters (and all hood smfaces) are
kept clean of grease and dirt.
