Replaceable charcoal filter

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order filter no. WB02X10700. Replacement filters can be ordered from your GEsupplier.

The charcoal filter should be replaced after 6 to 12 months (depending on hood usage).

To remove:

Pull down on the center of the front edge of the filter. The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.

To replace:

Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs and push the front edge up until it snaps into place.
