Charcoal Filter (on some models) The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. WB02X10943 from your GE supplier. To Remove Charcoal Filter Remove 2 grille screws to remove the grille. 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 6-12 months, depending on hood usage). See "Optional Kits," page 9, for more information. To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug. Remove the top grille by removing the 2 screws that hold it in place. Pull the filter at the bottom until it comes free of the locking tabs. Slide the filter down and out. To Install Charcoal Filter To install a new filter, remove plastic and other outer wrapping from the new filter. 1 Insert the top of the filter up and into the grooves on the inside of the top opening. 2 Push the bottom of the filter in until it snaps into place behind the locking tabs. 35
