Care and cleaning of the vent hood.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Filter locks
If it ever becomes necessary to replace
the metal grease filters, they may be
ordered from your GE supplier.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
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.
Forthis 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 remove, press the filter locks back
and pull the filters down and out.
To replace, insert the rear filter tabs
in the frame slots at the back of the
opening. Pushthe filters up and lock
them into place.
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.
NOTE:Before cleaning, make sure the
charcoal filters, if present, are unclipped
and removed. Seethe Charcoal Filters
section.
