CARING FOR THE FILTERS

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned often; at least once a month.
NOTE: If your microwave hood combination is installed to recirculate air, the charcoal filter
(Part No. 5230W1A003C) is available from Sears by calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months.
Grease filters :
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. To remove grease filters, slide each filter to
the side. Pull filters downward and push to the
other side. The filter will drop out.
3. Soak grease filters in hot water and a
mild detergent. Scrub and swish to remove
embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and
shake to dry. Do not clean filters with ammonia,
corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, or place them in a dishwasher.
The filters will turn black or become damaged.
4. To replace grease filters, slide filter in the
frame slot on one side of the opening. Push
