Exhaust System - GE JHP64G Use And Care Manual

Exhaust System

This Cooking Center has a built-in
exhaust system equipped with a
damper, a two-speed exhaust
blower and removable filters.
Exhaust openings are located over
cooking top and in hood over oven.
The exhaust system functions only
when the blower is operating. The
switch for the exhaust system is
beneath the control panel. For high
speed, push switch once; for low
speed, push switch twice; and to
stop blower, push switch once
in sequence.
When blower is operating and hood
over upper oven is closed, it
exhausts over surface units only.
When blower operates with hood in
open position, it exhausts through
openings over surface units and
over oven at the same time.
THE EXHAUST SYSTEM
SHOULD BE OPERATED
WHENEVER ODORS, VAPORS
OR SMOKE ARE EXPECTED
COOKING OPERATION.
START FAN AT BEGINNING
OF COOKING.
To Remove and Replace Hood Extension
1. To remove,
extend hood as far
as it will open.
Hook a finger behind flexible bar at
each side of hood extension and
move toward center of hood to
move pins out of holes. Hood
extension can be removed.
2. To clean, wash with hot
detergent solution. Rinse and dry
with soft cloth.
To open hood above the oven, lift
up handle on hood; to close, push
down on handle. Use hood in its
fully extended position whenever
vapor or smoke results from
cooking, such as when pan broiling
or frying on the surface units. See
information on use of surface units.
Filters
Two filters are located over cooking
top and one behind hood extension.
Filters are removable for cleaning.
Filters become soiled over a period
of time. The efficiency of your
exhaust system depends on how
clean the filters are. Frequency of
cleaning, or replacing, depends on
the type of cooking you do, but
filters should be cleaned AT LEAST
ONCE A MONTH. Also, frequently
clean the grease-laden surfaces
adjacent to the filters.
To clean, agitate in hot detergent
solution. Light brushing may be
used to help remove imbedded soil
and dust. With careful use and
handling, filters will last for years.
However, if replacement becomes
necessary, obtain a filter from
your dealer.
3. To replace, fit bottom of half-
circle flanges into side of hood.
Secure one side at a time. Align
pin with holes in bracket and hood
extension, then push pin through
holes. This secures hood extension
so it cannot be removed by mistake.

Push to rear, lift front edge, and let
spring push filter forward into place
under edge of exhaust opening.
2. Hood: Extend hood as far as
