Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Hood
Metal baffle
grease filters
The metal baes channel grease released by
foods into the drip trays. The baes also help pre-
vent aming foods on the cooktop from damaging
the inside of the hood. For this reason, the baes
must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used.
The bae grease lters should be cleaned once a
month, or as needed.
To remove the metal bae grease lter, hold the
lter by both knobs. Push the lter into the front
(upper) lter channel until it is released from the
rear channel. Lower the back of the lter and
push away from the front channel until it clears.
These grease lters can be cleaned by hand or
in the dishwasher using non-abrasive soap. To
clean them by hand, soak and then swish them
around in warm water and detergent. Do not 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 dry before
replacing.
Charcoal
filter
(for use with
recirculation
mode only)
If the hood is not vented to the outside, the air will
be recirculated through disposable charcoal filters
that help 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).
DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
This kit can be ordered from GE parts. Please see
Consumer Services section for details.
