� Replace the filter.
The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the
front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest against the
right side of the vent opening. The bottom of the filter should
rest against the left side of the vent chamber at the bottom.
If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness
will be reduced.
Ventilation Chamber
The ventilation chamber, which houses the filter, should be
cleaned in the event of spills or when it becomes coated with a
film of grease.
Cleaning Method:
� Mild household detergent or cleanser and paper towel, damp
cloth, or sponge:
Apply detergent or cleanser to paper towel, damp cloth, or
sponge, not directly to the ventilation chamber.
