Q: QuestionI want to replace a ductless range hood. Cant find one that takes the air up faster. The smoke Detector goes off quite a bit. The one we had just bought doesn’t make enough noise and does not seem to pull up the air as fast.

Asked 6 years ago by Lam.

• A:Answer Hi Lam - Non-Vented hoods do not have a CFM rating. Air is pulled up through the hood, forced through a filter, and back out into the same room. Since the air is simply being circulated, there is no need for the measurement of air flow. "CFM" (cubic feet per minute) is the measurement of the exchange of air from one area to another. Vented Hoods have CFM ratings. In order to remove the air faster, the hood would need to be vented outdoors. Thanks for your interest in GE! -Emelea

Q: QuestionI need to know if this hood is ventless I do not have pipes or anything. I'm only interested in the Slate color thank you

Asked 8 years ago by Kath.

• A:Answer We have the slate one and it has the option to be vented or ventless. There are knockouts that can be used to make it vented, however it comes set up to be ventless for recirculation into the kitchen. It does NOT come with the charcoal filter though. That needs to be purchased separately.

Q: Questiondoes the hood have two exhaust fans in it or one? if one is it located in the middle as opposed to one side? can this unit exhaust at the back horizontally

Asked 6 years ago by jerry.

• A:Answer The exhaust fan is only on the left side of the hood. I'm not certain of the unit's ability to exhaust at the back horizontally. The installer explained that the unit will only exhaust from the left, front side.

Q: QuestionHaving problems removing light bulbs, what type is used and how do I remove them.

Asked 6 years ago by Lady.

• A:Answer Hi - The range hood is equipped with halogen bulbs (110V, 35W - GU10). 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. You'll find the instructions on removal on page 8 of the Use and Care Guide at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-80783-4.pdf - Purchase RANGE HOOD BULB, 110V, 35W - GU10 #WB25X24863 online at GEApplianceparts.com: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/WB25X24863 - We hope this is helpful.

Q: QuestionHelp, I have this hood, but am having great difficulty changing the light bulbs and need advice. It seems you are supposed to just hope for some grip on the glass part of the bulb and try to rotate it counter clockwise to get it to unlatch, but its stuck.

Asked 7 years ago by zavtra.

• A:Answer Hi Zavtra- Thanks for choosing GE! We are sorry to hear of the difficulty removing the bulb. 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 reference, see page 8 of the Owner's Manual: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-80783-4.pdf - We hope the latex gloves help.

Q: QuestionCan this vent hood be converted to a rectangle duct work instead of the round and can it be converted to ventless also ??

Asked 7 years ago by Pr.

• A:Answer It comes without any duct holes pre-opened, so round or rectangle can be chosen at installation time. Ours came out of the box set up as 'ventless' (recirculating into the kitchen) and a piece needs to be installed to duct outside (which the installer did not do and we are still trying to resolve with BestBuy)
