NSTALLING AND CARING FOR THE FILTERS
Do not allow grease and soil to build up in the
grease filters. It will decrease the exhaust fan
efficiency and could cause a fire. Remove and
clean grease filters at least once a month.
NOTE: Your microwave hood combination comes
with a charcoal filter to provide clean recirculated
air. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and
should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. You
can order replacements (PN 4393690) in the U.S.A.
by calling 1-800-253-1301, or in Canada by calling
the nearest service branch (see "If you need assis-
tance or service in Canada" in the "Requesting
Assistance or Service" section). Follow the instruc-
tions and telephone prompts you hear.
