Care and cleaning of the vent hood.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the
vent hood.
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 remove,
slide the filters to the
rear using the tab. Pull them
down and out.
To replace,
slide the filters in the
frame slot on the back of the
opening. Push up and back and
then to the front to lock into place.
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.
NOTE:
Before cleaning, make sure the
charcoal filters, if present, are unclipped
and removed. See the Charcoal Filters
section.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
If it ever becomes necessary to replace
the metal grease filters, they may be
ordered from your GE supplier.
