	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

THE BLOWER FAILS	• Many factors could be the root cause for reduced air-flow.
TO EXHAUST THE	1. Installation could be the problem: Your hood was designed to
SMOKE/STEAM/
	meet specific ducting requirements. Refer to the Installation
ODORS ADEQUATELY
	Instructions or if you do not have them, go to ge.com.
	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.
	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.
