C
ARING FOR THE FILTERS
The grease (aluminum) filters should be removed and
cleaned often, at least once a month. You can order
replacement grease filters (PN 4358853) from your
nearest authorized Roper dealer.
If your microwave hood combination is installed to
recirculate air, the charcoal filter should be installed.
The charcoal filter cannot be washed. For best perfor-
mance, we recommend that you replace charcoal fil-
ters every six to twelve months. You can order replace-
ment charcoal filters (PN 4359416) from your nearest
authorized Roper dealer.
