Care and cleaning of the vent hood.
www.GEAppliances.com
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the
vent hood.
The hood has 2 metal reusable
grease filters.
The metal filters trap grease
released by foods on the cooktop.
They also help prevent flaming
foods on the cooktop from
damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filters must
ALWAYS be in place when the
hood is used. The grease filters
should be cleaned once a month,
or as needed.
To clean the grease filters , 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. Light brushing can
be used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let them dry
before replacing. They may
also be cleaned in an automatic
dishwasher.
To remove:
Grasp the filter handle and pull it
up, forward and out.
To replace:
Hold the filter at the bottom
with the handle.
Place the top end of the filter
against the inside front of the
hood.
Slide it up until it stops and
push the bottom end back
until it snaps into place.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
To clean the hood surface, use
a hot, damp cloth with a mild
detergent suitable for painted
surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp
cloth to remove soap. Dry with
a dry, clean cloth. Do not use steel-wool pads or
other abrasive cleaners. They will
scratch the surface.
Painted Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will
scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water, a stainless
steel cleaner such as Kleen King
® ,
or an all-purpose liquid or spray
cleaner. Always scrub in the
direction of the grain. Rinse
thoroughly with a sponge or cloth
and clean water. Dry with a soft,
clean cloth.
After cleaning, use a stainless steel
polish, such as Stainless Steel
Magic
® , Revere Copper and
Stainless Steel Cleaner ® or Wenol
All Purpose Metal Polish ® . Follow
the product instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
If it ever becomes necessary to replace
