Charcoal Filter

The Vent Fan

 

(on some models)

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 all 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.

 

Removing and Cleaning the Filter

 

To remove, slide it to the side 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 it 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

 

side of the opening. Pull up and in to lock

 

into place.
