SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GEAppliances.com
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking on high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING – TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
DQGH[KDXVWLQJRIJDVHVWKURXJKWKHIOXH
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
When applicable, install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building code
requirements. Visit GEAppliances.com for available
makeup air solutions.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your
hood unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.

Care and cleaning of the vent hood. GEAppliances.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
The metal filter traps grease released
by foods from the cooktop. The filter
also helps prevent flames (from food,
grease) from damaging the inside of
the hood.
For this reason, the filter must
ALWAYS be in place when the hood is
in use. The grease filter is dishwasher-
safe and should be cleaned every 6
months, or as needed.
To remove:
Pull downward on the filter lock to
release the filter.
To replace:
Fit the tabs at the end of the filter into
the slots in the left side of the filter
opening. Lift up the right side of the
filter and push gently until the filter
locks into place. Make sure the filter
lock is in the closed position to secure
the filter.
To clean, swish the filter in hot soapy
water and rinse in clean water or
wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use
abrasive cleansers.
NOTE: Some discoloration will occur in
the dishwasher.
Metal Grease Filter
If the model is not vented to the outside,
the air will be recirculated through a
disposable charcoal filter that helps
remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced
when it is noticeably dirty or discolored
(usually after 6 to 12 months,
depending on hood usage).
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal
filter in an automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.
It must be replaced.
Order Charcoal Filter WB02X11348.
To inquire about purchasing
replacement charcoal filters or to find
the location of a dealer nearest you,

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.
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm
sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or
polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Light Bulbs
CAUTION:
Allow bulbs to cool before touching.
To change the light bulbs:
1. Remove the lamp lens cover by inserting a
small flat blade screwdriver into each of the
three slots and gently prying it free.
NOTE: Do not remove the outer trim ring
(lamp assembly).
2. Wear gloves. Do not touch the bulb with
your bare fingers. Skin oils can cause early
lamp failure.
3. Grasp the bulb and pull it straight out.
4. Replace with the same wattage. Early bulb
failure and damage to or failure of the
transformer may occur if wattage is too high.
These 12-volt, 20-watt halogen bulbs with
a G4 base are available at specialty lighting
stores and home building centers.
To order replacement bulb no. WB01X10239,
contact the GE National Parts Center at
1.800.626.2002 or purchase from your local
retailer.
5. Replace lamp lens cover by inserting the
