Exhaust Feature - GE Cafe CVM9179 Owner's Manual

Exhaust Feature

Vent Fan
The vent fan has two metal reusable vent filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a
charcoal filter.
Reusable Vent Filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the
cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven.
For this reason, the filters must always be in place when
the hood is used. The vent filters should be cleaned
once a month, or as needed.
Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be
replaced. Order Part No. WB02X10956 from your GE
Appliances supplier.
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be
recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that
helps remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12
months, depending on usage). See Optional Kits page
30, for more information.
To Remove the Charcoal Filter
To remove the charcoal filter, first disconnect power
at the main fuse or circuit breaker, or pull the plug. Push
down 2 buttons on the filter door.
Lift the filter at the bottom until it comes free of the tabs.
Slide the filter down and out.

Removing and Cleaning the Filters
To remove, slide them to the rear using the tabs. Pull
down and out.
To clean the vent filters, soak them and then swish
around in hot water and detergent. Don't use ammonia
or ammonia products because they will darken the metal.
Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.
