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.

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.

shipping location. These
screws are positioned
to engage the
keyhole slots in
the back of the
hood.
Ŷ Adjust depth of original mounting screws in the
wood support until they protrude 1/4" forward. This
1/4" gap will provide clearance to hang the hood.

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.
