Use the GE UVI1036 unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Do not use the GE UVI1036 unit with any solid-state speed control device.

The GE UVI1036 unit must be grounded.

Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.

Never pick up a flaming pan; you may be burned.

Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels; a violent steam explosion will result.

Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Always turn the GE UVI1036 hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-related construction.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

Use only metal ductwork for the GE UVI1036.

The duct used in installation of the GE UVI1036 is the wrong size. This hood requires 8″ ducting and a maximum duct length of 150 equivalent feet to perform optimally. Using smaller duct pipe or longer equivalent lengths of duct pipe will cause improper venting. GEAppliances service technicians cannot correct this issue if installed improperly.

There are obstructions in the duct work.

The damper blade on the wall or roof cap may not be open.

The metal grease filter and charcoal filter (if present) may be dirty.

Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for exhausting appliances to operate to rating.

Check for obstructions in the duct work of the GE UVI1036. Make sure the wall or roof cap has a blade or door.

Make sure the damper swings freely. Damper blades may flip over and will not fully open when this happens. Adjust to original position.

Clean the metal grease filter and replace the charcoal filter (if present). See Care and Cleaning.

Check with local building codes, which may require or strongly advise the use of makeup air.
