SUIVANTES :  
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.

d’installation et de câblage électrique par une  
personne qualifiée, conformément à tous les codes  
et les normes en vigueur, en particulier ceux de  
construction relatifs aux incendies.  
B. Vous devez assez d’air pour avoir une bonne  
combustion et permettre l’évacuation des gaz par le  
conduit de cheminée du matériel de combustion du  
carburant, afin d’éviter tout retour d’air. Suivez les  
directives du fabricant de matériel de combustion et

A. ÉTOUFFEZ LES FLAMMES avec un couvercle qui  
convient, une tôle à biscuits ou un plateau en métal,  
puis éteignez le brûleur. FAITES BIEN ATTENTION  
DE NE PAS VOUS BRÛLER. Si les flammes ne  
s’éteignent pas immédiatement, SORTEZ ET  
APPELEZ LES POMPIERS.  
C. Si vous faites un trou ou une ouverture dans un mur  
ou un plafond, n’endommagez pas les fils électriques  
et les autres installations cachées de service public.  
B. NE DÉPLACEZ JAMAIS UNE CASSEROLLE QUI  
FLAMBE – Vous pouvez vous brûler.  
C. N’UTILISEZ JAMAIS D’EAU, en particulier de  
serviette ou de chiffon mouillé – il se produira une  
explosion violente de vapeur brûlante.  
D. Vous devez toujours alimenter les ventilateurs dans  
les conduits en air en provenance de l’extérieur.

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  
toll-free number:  
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.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)  
Do not use steel-wool pads or other  
abrasive cleaners. They will scratch  
the surface.  
NOTE: When cleaning, take care not  
to come in contact with filters and  
other non-enameled surfaces.

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 314x 10rectangular ducting or 7diameter  
round ducting.  
If a 6round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round  
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than  
a 6diameter 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 314x 10rectangular, 6or 7diameter 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.
