Removing
and Cleaning
the Filter
To remove, slide it to the outside using the tab. Pull it down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it and then swish it around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal.
Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot at the outside of the opening. Pull up and in to lock into place.
Charcoal
Filter (on some models)
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. WB2X10956 from your GE supplier.
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).
