Charcoal Filter
(on some models)
Reusable Grease Filters
(on all models)
The Vent Fan
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the room also
use a charcoal filter.
Reusable Grease Filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on
the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods
on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the
microwave.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in
place when the hood is used. The grease filters
should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
Removing and Cleaning the Filter
Toremove,slide to the rear using the tabs.
Pull down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it and then swish it
around in hot water and detergent. Don't use
ammonia or ammonia products because they will
darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to
remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filter
into the flame slot on the
back of the opening. Press up and to the front to
lock into place.
