LE RISQUE D’UN FEU DE GRAISSE SUR LA SURFACE
DE CUISSON DE LA CUISINIÈRE :
A. Ne laissez jamais sans surveillance les unités de
cuisson de surface à une température élevée. Le
bouillonnement occasionne des débordements
fumants et graisseux qui peuvent prendre feu.
Chauffez à feu doux les substances huileuses,
avec un réglage bas ou moyen.
B. ALLUMEZ toujours la hotte en cas de cuisson à
feu élevé ou lorsque vous faites flamber des aliments
(par exemple, crêpes Suzette, cerises jubilées, bœuf
au poivre flambé).
C. Nettoyez les mécanismes de ventilation
fréquemment. Il ne faut pas permettre une
accumulation de graisse sur le ventilateur ou
sur le filtre.
D. Utilisez une casserole de bonne taille. Utilisez
toujours un ustensile de cuisine qui convienne au
diamètre de l’élément de cuisson.
A. N’utilisez cet appareil que de la manière prévue
par le fabricant. Si vous avez des questions, appelez
le fabricant.
B. Avant de réparer ou de nettoyer votre appareil,
débranchez le courant au niveau du panneau
de service et verrouillez les mécanismes de
débranchement de service pour éviter tout
branchement accidentel au courant. Si vous ne
pouvez pas verrouiller les mécanismes de
débranchement de service, attachez soigneusement
un avertissement bien visible, comme une étiquette,
au panneau de service.
C. N’utilisez jamais cet appareil avec un mécanisme
de réglage de la vitesse à semi-conducteurs.
D. Si vous utilisez l’ensemble de cordon de
raccordement, utilise seulement avec l’ensemble de
cordon de raccordement pour hotte JXHC1. Suite à
un examen technique, l’article JXHC1 s’est avéré
compatible avec ce modèle de hotte.

Reusable Metal Grease Filter—Ducted Installations Only
The efficiency of your hood
depends on a clean filter.
Frequency of cleaning depends on
hood use and the type of cooking
you do. However, the grease filter
should be cleaned at least once a
month.
To clean:
Soak and then agitate it in a hot
water and detergent solution.
Light brushing can be used to
remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and let it dry before
replacing.

To remove:
NEVER OPERATE THE HOOD
Pull down on the center of the
front edge of the filter. The filter
will then slip out of the retaining
tabs on the back.
WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.
With careful handling, the metal
filter will last for years. If a new
replacement filter becomes
necessary, order the part from
your dealer. Order genuine GE
part number WB02X8391.
To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter
into the retaining tabs and push
the front edge up until it snaps
into place.

(depending on hood usage).
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
To inquire about purchasing
stainless steel appliance cleaner or
polish, or to find the location of a
dealer nearest you, please call our

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will
scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel
surface, use warm sudsy water or
a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
Always wipe the surface in the
direction of the grain. Follow the
cleaner instructions for cleaning
the stainless steel surface.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the “Damage” section and proceed.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
•
IMPORTANT –
Save these
instructions for local inspector’s use.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
•
IMPORTANT –
Observe all
This hood can be vented vertically through upper
cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
governing codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular ducting or 7″ diameter
round ducting.
If a 6″ round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than
a 6″ diameter duct.
• Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions
for future reference.
• Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires
basic mechanical and electrical skills.
• Completion time – 30 minutes–3 hours
• Proper installation is the responsibility of the
installer.
Maximum duct length:
• Product failure due to improper installation is not
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular, 6″ or 7″ diameter round
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. See the
WORKSHEET–CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT
DUCTWORK LENGTH section.
covered under the Warranty.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
NOTE: It is important that ducting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
WARNING –
Before beginning the
installation, 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.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The
charts on the following pages show you how to calculate
total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
OPTIONAL POWER CORD KIT JXHC1
An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model
JXHC1, is available at extra cost from your GE
supplier for installation using a standard 3-prong,
grounded wall outlet. Follow the Installation
Instructions packed with the kit to connect
the power cord to the range hood.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-
round transition adaptor is used, the
bottom corners of the damper will
have to be cut to fit, using the tin
snips, in order to allow free
movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements for good venting
performance with any hood.
