The vent fan has a metal
reusable grease filter.
The reusable grease filter
traps grease released by
foods on the cooktop. It
also prevents flames from
foods on the cooktop from
damaging the inside of
the microwave.
To remove, slide it to the
side using the tab. Pull it
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 it
will darken the metal.
Models that recirculate air
back into the room also
use a charcoal filter.
For this reason, the filter
must ALWAYS be in place
when the hood is used.
The grease filter should be
cleaned once a month, or
as needed.
Light brushing can be used
to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let it dry
before replacing.
To replace, slide the filter
in the frame slot on the
left side of the opening.
Pull up and to the right
to lock into place.
