Installing and caring for the filters
The grease (silver aluminum) filters should be
removed and cleaned often, at least once a month.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and
should be replaced every 6 to 12 months.
NOTE: Your microwave hood combination comes
with a chamoal (black fiber) filter installed behind the
aluminum grease filter. The charcoal filter helps
remove odors and provide clean recirculated air.
You may remove the charcoal filter if venting to the
outside.
You can order replacements (PN 4393690) from your
nearest Sears Service Center.
