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.

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 2 metal reusable grease
filters and drip tray.
Mesh grease
filters and
drip tray
The metal filters and drip tray trap grease
released by foods on the cooktop. The filters
also help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop
from damaging the inside of the hood.
(on some models)
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in
place when the hood is used. The grease filters
and drip tray should be cleaned every 6 months,
or as needed.
Grease Filters
To clean the drip tray, drain and wipe all excess
grease with a dry paper towel. Wash with hot
soapy water. Dry with a clean cloth.
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.
Filter Locks
To remove:
Grasp the filter lock and pivot it open to
release. Pull the filter down and out.
Remove both filters. Grasp the drip tray,
on both sides, by the front edge and
carefully lift it up and out.
To replace:
1. Place and seat the drip tray into the hood
track, making sure the rear tabs on the tray,
hook into the back slots in the hood track.
2. Place the bottom of the filter in the lower
hood rail.
3. Push the top of the filter back, open the
filter lock and snap it into place.
Drip Tray

Care and Cleaning
Professional Range Hood
Some models have reusable metal grease baffles
and drip trays.
Baffle grease
filters 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.
(on some models)
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.
Drip Tray
Drip Tray
Track
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.
Drip Tray Replacement
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 .

THE BLOWER DOES
NOT WORK BUT THE
LIGHTS DO
• 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 for
service.
THE BLOWER FAILS
TO EXHAUST THE
SMOKE/STEAM/
• 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.
ODORS ADEQUATELY
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.

THE HALOGEN/
HEAT LAMP DOES
NOT WORK
• The lamp or socket may be defective or a wire could be
disconnected.
1. Do some trouble-shooting by removing the lamp and place it in
the socket of a lamp that does work (the heat lamp will fit in the
halogen socket for the purpose of checking it). Does it work now?
If no, the lamp is defective. If your hood is still in-warranty, call
GE service and ask them to mail out a new lamp. State clearly
whether you need the halogen or the heat lamp. Lamps on this
product are covered by warranty and are cataloged. If the hood is
no longer covered by warranty, reference the Care and Cleaning
section of this manual to see lamp requirements. Lamps can be
purchased at home building stores, specialty lighting stores or
through GE Parts. Reference the defective lamp for information
as well.
2. If you placed the lamp in a working socket and it does
illuminate, the original socket may be defective or a wire
may be disconnected. Call GE for service.
