The Vent Fan

Charcoal Filter

(on some models)

Reusable Grease Filters

(on all models)

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.

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.

Reusable Grease

Filters

To remove,slide it to the

rear 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 on the

back of the opening. Pull

up and to the front to lock

into place.
