Vent Grille - GE ZGW124EN User Manual

Brushed Stainless
Steel Finish
Wash with soap and water. For
heavy soils, first cover with a
damp cloth and let soak 30
minutes. A stainless steel cleaner
may be used.
To remove fingerprints, apply a
little baby oil or cooking oil with a
cloth or paper towel. Rub in the
same direction as the brush marks
in the stainless steel finish.
Cleaning methods described above
may prove ineffective. Stubborn
baked-on food residue or stains on
the stainless steel surfaces can be
removed by using pad-type oven
cleaners. For your safety, use
extreme caution. Oven cleaners
are caustic and can damage or
discolor most other surfaces.
Do not use spray-type oven
cleaners. Overspray will damage
nearby surfaces. Use newspaper
and masking tape to cover surfaces
such as back wall, control panel,
range sides, countertop, etc.
Remove grates, grill element,
porcelain enamel drip pan or
griddle.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be
removed for cleaning.
To remove a control knob, pull it
upward off the control shaft.
Wash knobs in soap and water but
do not soak. Dry knobs as much as
possible with a clean cloth. Shake
water out of the knob stem.

Removable Downdraft Vents and Grease Filters
How to Clean Vent System
The downdraft vent grille and filter
should be cleaned frequently—
after every use is best. Before
cleaning the vent system, be sure
exhaust blower is shut off.
To remove parts for cleaning:
1. Lift off the vent grille.
2. Rotate the latch away from the
solid edge of the filter to free the
filter. Pull out the aluminum grease
filter.
How to Clean the

Vent Grille:

To clean the vent grille, remove
it from the cooktop by lifting it
up. It can be cleaned by hand,
in the dishwasher or in a
self-cleaning oven.
How to Clean the Filters:
To clean the filter, soak, then
agitate filter in hot detergent
solution prepared in the sink.
Using ammonia or other alkali will
darken the metal. Light brushing
can be used to remove embedded
dirt. Be careful not to disturb the
aluminum fabric of the filter body.
Rinse, shake and remove moisture
before replacing. It is advised that
filters should be cleaned after
every use.
Before replacing the filter into the
vent system housing, inspect and
wipe clean the housing walls. Do
not allow grease accumulation
to form.
Never operate the Vent System
without the filter in place. In
situations where flaming might
occur, the filter will retard entry of
flames into the exhaust blower.
To replace cleaned parts:
1. The round corners are the
bottom edge of the filter. Insert the
filter into the vent shaft (round
corners down) until the latch can
be rotated to secure the filter.
2. Replace the vent grille.
