Charcoal Filter

(on some models)

Vent Fan

The vent fan has a metal reusable grease filter.

Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter.

Reusable Grease Filter

(on some models)

Reusable Grease Filter

The reusable grease filter traps grease released by foods on the cooktop. It also prevents flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the microwave.

For this reason, the filter must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease filter should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
