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.
