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.
