• A:Answer Greetings, Thank you so much for reaching out. This vent hood can be vented externally (ducting required) or internally (recirculating). If you want to vent internally, no duct work is required and you can just install the charcoal filters. We hope this helps. Thanks for choosing GE! Mike@GEA

Q: QuestionHow do I change out the light bulb! How do I get extra lightbulbs?

Asked 6 months ago by mwcmax99.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 30 inches - Convertible - Under cabinet Range Hood - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer We always recommend disconnecting the power by flipping off the breaker and turning off the light switch. You'll remove the light cover, unscrew the light, counterclockwise to unlock the light and pull out. Replace the new light of the same type (standard incandescent), making sure the socket is properly inserted into the housing of the lamp holder. Please review page 8 in the manual for more details. You can find the manual on Best Buys site and on our GE Appliances site.

Q: QuestionFan sucking air from one side only.

Asked 7 months ago by Aj.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 30 inches - Convertible - Under cabinet Range Hood - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer While not completely equal, when operating normally, there will be airflow through both sides. We recommend checking that the ductwork is free of obstructions, the damper swings freely, and the filters are clean. You can find filter cleaning instructions on page 7 and installation information starting on page 9 of the manual. The manual is located at the bottom of the 'Features' tab on the Best Buy product page. We also recommend performing the tissue test to check for proper draw of the vent. You can find instructions for this in the article titled "Hood Vent System Draw" on the GE Appliances website.

Q: QuestionHow to replace bulb, do I just pull it out

Asked 1 year ago by Angie.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 30 inches - Convertible - Under cabinet Range Hood - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Before attempting to replace the lights, make sure that the light switch is turned off. Rotate light counterclockwise to unlock and pull out. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip. Replace with new light of same type, making sure pins are inserted properly into the sockets of the lamp holder and turn clockwise to lock. All lamps need to be GU10 compatible. For a helpful illustration, see page 8 of the Owner’s Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website. Lauren@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionI want to vent this outside what size vent would this take?

Asked 2 years ago by Roxy.

This question was asked about the related product: GE - 30 inches - Convertible - Under cabinet Range Hood - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Start with a 7" round duct take-off at top of hood. Remove the semi-round and also the rectangular piece next to it. Buy a 7" round duct take-off. Install with screws in existing holes or drill new ones. Be careful to not damage interior. Extend the 7" round duct to the outside (roof or side exterior wall). Install a roof jack or a side wall external damper cover with screen cover (to protect from varmints). Some variation may have to be made if connecting to an existing installation. Enjoy!
