Replacing the light bulb.
About the exhaust feature.
Cooktop Light/Nite Light
Replace with a 130 volt, 50 watt (max.)
halogen bulb. Order WB08X10057 from your
GE supplier.
1 To replace the cooktop light/nite light, first
disconnect the power at the main fuse or
circuit breaker panel, or pull the plug.
2 Remove the screw from the side of the light
compartment cover and lower the cover
until it stops.
3 Be sure the bulb is cool before removing.
Break the adhesive seal by gently
unscrewing the bulb.
4 Screw in the new bulb, then raise the light
cover and replace the screw. Connect
electrical power to the oven.
Remove screw.
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.
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.
Rinse, shake and let dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots
on the back of each opening. Press up and to
the front to lock into place.
Reusable vent filters
