How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film

with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance

surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.

Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the

first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the

product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from

packaging tape on new appliances is an application of

a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a

soft cloth and allow to soak.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.

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 and

exhausting of gases through the flue (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.

E. Turn off breaker to adjacent rooms while working.

1. Light control: Turn the light control from OFF

to HI for the brightest light while cooking.

2. Fan control: Turn the fan control speed from

OFF to HI as needed.

Continuous use of the fan system while cooking

helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.

It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture

that create a frequent need for cleaning.

NOTE: When the fan is operating on the lowest

setting, it will be very quiet. Always make sure that

the fan is turned OFF when you are finished in the

kitchen.

Controls

USING THE HOOD: Controls / Implement Holders / For your Safety

Appearance will vary.

Some models have reusable metal grease baffles and

drip trays.

The metal baffles channel grease released by foods

on the cooktop into the drip trays. The baffles also help

prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the

inside of the hood.

For this reason, the baffles must ALWAYS be in place

when the hood is used. The grease baffles 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 dry 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

dishwasher.

To remove:

Grasp the baffle knobs and pull them up, forward 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 until all trays are side-by-side

in place in the track.

To replace the baffles:

1. Hold the baffle at the bottom by one of the knobs .

2. Place the other end of the baffle against the inside

front of the hood.

3. Slide it up and push the bottom end back until it firmly

seats into place.

To clean behind the knobs:

If the knobs are difficult to remove, place a non-abrasive

cloth between the knob gap and hood body to assist with

pulling the knobs off for cleaning.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you call for service

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Cause

Fan and lights do

not operate when the

switches are turned on

Ŷ The hood was never electrically connected by the installer/ electrician/builder. Call the

electrician/installer/builder to complete the installation. This is not covered by warranty.

Ŷ A fuse may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

The blower does not

work but the lights do

Ŷ The blower motor wire harness was not connected or was not connected properly by the

installer/electrician/builder to its mating connector located inside the hood on the top surface, to

the left of the blower assembly.

1. Switch power off at 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.

2. Remove the filters and locate the blower wire harness connector. Is it plugged into its mating

connector?

3. If no, plug the blower motor connector into its mating connector on the top of the hood. Switch

the power back on. Check to see if the fan now works.

4. If no, check the circuit breaker/fuse. If it is blown/tripped, replace/reset it. Does the blower

work now? If no, call GE Appliances for service.

The blower fails to

exhaust the smoke/

steam/ odors adequately

Ŷ Many factors could be the root cause for reduced air-flow.

1. Installation could be the problem: Your hood was designed to meet specific ducting

requirements. If your duct length exceeds the manufacturer’s requirements, hood performance

will suffer. 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 builder.

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 the tape is removed from the damper blades

and that it swings open freely.

4. Damper blade on Wall or Roof Cap may not be opening: Contact your builder so they can

make sure the damper swings open freely.

5. Dirty filters/baffles: Make sure filters (and all hood surfaces) are kept clean of grease and dirt.

6. Check to be sure the filter is clean: If replacing the filter does not correct the problem, call for

service.

7. Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for exhausting appliances to operate to rating.

Check with local building codes, which may require or strongly advise the use of makeup air.

Visit GEAppliances.com for available makeup air solutions.
