Metal grease filter or charcoal filter
2.
For ducted installation: Install the grease filters.
Metal grease filter
What To Do
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Using smaller duct pipe will cause reduced venting.
Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions
and elbows. GE Appliances service technicians cannot
correct this issue if installed improperly.
Make sure nothing is blocking the vent. Make sure your
wall or roof cap has a blade or door.
Make sure damper swings freely. Damper blades may
flip over and will not fully open when this happens.
Adjust to original position.
Clean the metal grease filter and replace charcoal filter
(if present). See Care and Cleaning of the Vent Hood.
Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for
exhausting appliances to operate to rating. Check with
local building codes, which may require or strongly
advise the use of makeup air. Visit GEAppliances.com
for available makeup air solutions.
Replace with correct wattage.
