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.

Safety

If it ever becomes necessary to replace the metal grease filters, they may be ordered from your GE supplier.

Heavy-duty commercial filters may also be used in place of the filters.

For 30″ hoods, order Kit no. JXBF30SS.

For 36″ hoods, order Kit no. JXBF36SS.

To order, call 800.626.2002.

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.

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.
