Reusable Metal Grease Filters
The hood has 2 metal reusable grease filters.
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
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.
To clean the grease filters, soak them and then swish them around in hot water and detergent.
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing. They may
also be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher.Grasp the filter handle and pull it up, forward and out.
To replace:Hold the filter at the bottom with the handle.
Place the top end of the filter against the inside front of the hood.
Slide it up until it stops and push the bottom end back until it snaps into place.
