Care and Cleaning  
Professional Island Range Hood  
Island hood models have reusable metal grease  
baffles and drip trays.  
Baffle grease  
filters and  
drip trays  
The metal baffles channel grease released by  
foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The  
baffles also help prevent flaming foods on the  
cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.  
For this reason, the baffles must ALWAYS be in  
place when the hood is used. The grease baffles  
and drip trays should be cleaned once a month,  
or as needed.  
Drip Tray  
Drip Tray  
Track  
To clean the grease baffles and drip trays,  
drain and wipe all excess grease with a dry  
paper towel. 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. Rinse, shake and let them dry  
before replacing. They may also be cleaned  
in an automatic dishwasher.  
To remove:  
Drip Tray Replacement  
Grasp both baffle knobs on each filter and  
pull them up, forward and out. Grasp the  
drip tray and carefully lift it up and out of  
the hood track.  
To replace the drip trays:  
1. Place and seat the drip tray into the  
hood track.  
2. Slide them left or right until all trays are  
side-by-side in place in the track.  
To replace the baffles:  
1. Hold the baffle at the bottom by one of  
the knobs.

2. Place the other end of the baffle against  
the inside front of the hood.  
3. Slide it up and push the bottom end back

Questions?  
FAN AND LIGHTS DO • The hood was never electrically connected by the installer/  
NOT OPERATE WHEN electrician/builder. Call the electrician/installer/builder to  
Use this  
problem

THE SWITCHES ARE  
TURNED ON  
complete the installation. This is not covered by warranty.  
• A fuse may be blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse  
or reset the circuit breaker.  
THE BLOWER DOES  
NOT WORK BUT  
THE LIGHTS DO  
• The blower motor wire harness was not connected or was not  
connected properly by the installer/electrician/builder to its mating  
connector located inside the hood on the top surface, to the left of  
the blower assembly.  
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  
for service.  
THE BLOWER FAILS  
TO EXHAUST THE  
SMOKE/STEAM/  
• Many factors could be the root cause for reduced air-flow.  
1. Installation could be the problem: Your hood was designed to  
meet specific ducting requirements. Refer to the Installation  
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.  
ODORS ADEQUATELY  
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.
