Connecting your Wi-Fi Connect Enabled hood (on some models)
Your GE Appliances hood is designed to provide you with two-way communication between your appliance and smart
device. By using the GE Appliances Wi-Fi Connect features, you will be able to control essential hood operations such
as fan speed, light functions, timer/clock function, delay off and filter reset using your smartphone or tablet.*
What you will need
Your GE Appliances hood uses your existing home Wi-Fi
network to communicate between the appliance and your
smart device. In order to setup your GE Appliances hood,
you will need to gather some information:
1. Each GE Appliances hood has a connected
appliance information label that includes an
Appliance Network Name and Password. These
are the two important details that you will need to
connect to the appliance. The label is located on the
side of the unit behind the filters.
2. Have your smart phone or tablet ready with the ability
to access the internet and download apps.
3. You will need to know the password of your home
Wi-Fi router. Have this password ready while you are
setting up your GE Appliances hood.
Connect your GE Appliances hood
1. On your smart phone or tablet visit
GEAppliances.com/connect to learn more about
connected appliance features and to download the
appropriate app.
2. Follow the app onscreen instructions to connect your
GE Appliances hood.
3. Once the process is complete, the connection light
located on your GE Appliances hood display will stay
on solid and the app will confirm you are connected.
4. If the connection light does not turn on or is blinking,
follow the instructions on the app to reconnect. If
issues continue please call 800.220.6899 and ask for
assistance regarding hood wireless connectivity.
To connect additional smart devices, repeat steps 1 and 2.
Note that any changes or modifications to the remote
enable device installed on this hood that are not
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Connection
To pair with another device:
To start the pairing process on the hood, press and hold
the Chef Connect button for 3 seconds. The backlight
for all the icons will light up until the hood is paired with
the range or other device. If the pairing is successful,
the Bluetooth
®
symbol above the clock will turn on and
become solid.
It will time out after 2 minutes if the pairing is not
completed, after which the pairing sequence will need to
be restarted.
To cancel pairing:
To cancel the pairing, hold the Chef Connect button
down for 3 seconds and then turn off the hood.
Default Sync Settings:
The factory default setting for the light will be the brightest.
The factory default setting for the fan sync will be OFF.
The user can change the Default Sync Settings by
pressing and holding the Low button for 3 seconds. This
will enter the Default Settings Mode. Once in this mode,
the backlights for all buttons will blink on/off indefinitely
and the fan and light will switch to the current Default
Sync Setting, so the user knows what the current default
value is. At this time, set the light and fan to the desired
default levels. Once the user is satisfied with the selection,
press and hold the Off button for 3 seconds. This will exit
this mode. At that time the backlights will stop blinking and
the state of the fan and light will change back to their prior
state before entering the Default Settings Mode.
