Charcoal Filter

The Vent Fan

(on some models)

The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters.

 

 

Models that recirculate air back into the room also

 

use a charcoal filter.

Reusable Grease Filters

 

(on all models)

 

 

Reusable Grease Filters

 

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.

 

Removing and Cleaning the Filter

 

To remove, slide it to the outside 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 at the

 

outside of the opening. Pull up and in to lock

 

into place.
