Installing And Caring For Filters - Kenmore 665.60639 Use & Care Manual

INSTALLING AND CARING FOR FILTERS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before removing filters.
Replace all panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
The grease (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. The replacement
schedule for the charcoal filter is intended mainly for
those who install the microwave hood combination
in Recirculation mode.
NOTE." Your microwave hood combination comes
with a charcoal (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 (Part No. 4393690)
from your nearest Sears Service Center.
1 • Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. To remove the grease (aluminum) filters, grasp
tab and pull filter towards
the opposite side. Pull
the filter downward to
remove.
