THE EXHAUST FEATURE
The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease.
When the fan is being operated, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the venting
to the outside or through the charcoal filters if not vented to the outside.

REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS
The reusable grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the microwave without the
filters in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below the hood, filters will stop the entry of
flames into the unit.
TO REMOVE GREASE FILTER
To remove, slide them to the rear using the tabs. Pull down and out.
TO CLEAN GREASE FILTER
To clean grease filters, soak and then agitate filter in solution of hot water and detergent. Do not use ammonia
or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded
dirt. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.
TO REPLACE GREASE FILTER
To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots on the back of each opening. Press up and to the front to lock
into place.
You can purchase Grease Filters from 1-800-BE-SHARP. Accessory Model # RK-235.
