Reusable grease filters

The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from dam- aging the inside of the microwave.

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.

Removing and

Cleaning the Filter

To remove, slide it to the left/right 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 replac- ing.

To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot on the left/right of the opening. Pull up and to the left/right to lock into place.
