Q: QuestionIs filter needed for external vent? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ge-30-convertible-range-hood-stainless-steel/8153219.p?skuId=8153219

Asked 3 years ago by Rafi.

• A:Answer Good day, We'll be happy to answer your question! The grease filters are required for use at all times when using the vent. However, the charcoal filters are only required when using recirculating (internal) venting. If venting externally, then only the grease filters are required. Have a wonderful day! Mike@GEA

Q: QuestionHello! I need to purchase a recirculating kit for this model, but the recommended kit UXCF72 shows round charcoal filters, not square as in the hood itself. Please advise.

Asked 2 years ago by Jules.

• A:Answer I purchased this hood and it did not include charcoal filters. I purchased charcoal filters separately and they are round. I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionDoes this vent hood have the vent fan on only one side, or does it draw equally from both sides of the range?

Asked 3 months ago by GEhelp.

• A:Answer This model has a centrifugal or dual blower type (often referred to as squirrel cage fan). It will drawer equally on both sides. The CFM rating at MEDIUM fan speed is 250 CFMs. Here's a list of the CFM and sones: 350/6.6 (Boost Speed) 340/5.1 (High Speed) 150/1.0 (Working Speed) Note: The High fan option does not turn off the same way as Low and Med. If you hold High for 2 seconds, it will activate BOOST whereas if you hold Low or Med or 2 seconds it will activate the auto shut off. Joyce@GEAppliances
