Care and Cleaning

Stainless Steel Hood

Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service panel cannot be locked, fasten a tag or prominent warning label to the panel.

Charcoal filters

(on some models)

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

The charcoal filters should be replaced when they are noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be replaced.

Order Charcoal Filter Kit (3 filters) WB02X10731.

NOTE: To remove the metal filters, push them back and down using the knob. Push the charcoal filters back and down using the tab.
