Two filters are located over cooking
top and one behind hood exten-
sion. Filters are removable for
cleaning.
Filter(s) becomes soiled over a
period of time. The efficiencyof
your exhaust system depends on
how clean the filter(s) is. Frequency
of cleaning, or replacing, depends
on the type of cooking you do, but
filters should be cleaned AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH. Also,
clean frequently the grease-laden
surfaces adjacent to the filter(s).
