Reusable Grease Filters

The grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the microwave without the filters in

place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filters will stop the entry of flames into the unit.

To Remove Grease Filter To Clean and Replace Grease Filter

To remove grease filter, grasp the “finger hold” on the filter and slide to the rear. Then pull filter downward and to the front. The filter will drop out.

To clean grease filter, soak it and then agitate filter in solution of 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.
