To Remove Charcoal Filter

To remove the charcoal filter,

first disconnect power at

the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug.

Remove the top grille by removing the 2 screws that
hold it in place. Slide the filter towards the front of the
oven and remove it.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No.
WB02X4267 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).

Insert the filter into the top opening of the oven as
shown. It will rest at an angle on 2 side support tabs
and in front of the right rear tab. Replace the grille
and 2 screws.

Remove 2 grille screws to remove
the grille.
