The Exhaust Feature
LIGHT
~
The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operated, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the provided venting to the outside. The hood also has a light for illuminating the counter space.
To remove grease filter, grasp the “finger hold” on the filter and slide to the rear.
Then pull filter downward and to the fr~nt. The filter will drop out.
To replace grease filter, slide the filter in the frame slot on the back of the opening.
Pull filter upward and to the front to lock into place.
To clean grease filter, soak, then agitate filter in solution of hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or other alkali because they will darken metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate your hood without the filter in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filter will retard entry of flames into the unit.
