Charcoal
Filter
The metal filters trap grease released by foods
on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from
foods on the cooktop from damaging the
inside of the microwave.
To remove, slide it to the outside using the tab.
Pull it down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it and then
swish it around in hot water and detergent.
Don't use ammonia or ammonia products
because they will darken the metal.
Light brushing can be used to remove
embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot at
the outside of the opening. Pull up and in to
lock into place.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must
be replaced. Order Part No. WB2X10956 from
your GE supplier.
If the model is not vented to the outside, the
air will be recirculated through a disposable
charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and
odors.
To remove the charcoal filter:
1 Disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel or pull the plug.
2 Remove the top grille by removing the screws
on top of the grille that hold it in place and
sliding the grille to the left (opening the
door makes grille removal easier).
3 Slide the filter toward the front of the oven
and remove it.
To install a new filter:
1 Remove plastic and other outer wrapping
from the new filter.
2 Insert the filter into the top opening of the
oven as shown. It will rest at an angle on
2 side support tabs and in front of the right
rear tab.
3 Replace the grille and screws.
Care and Cleaning

For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in
place when the hood is used. The grease filters
should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it
is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after
6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).
