Removing and Cleaning the Filters

To remove, slide them to the rear using the tabs. Pull down and out.

To clean the vent filters, soak them and then swish 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 dry before replacing.

To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots on the back of each opening. Press up and to the front to lock into place.

Charcoal Filter

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. WB02X10956 from your GE supplier.

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on usage). See “Optional Kits,” page 8, for more information.
