Metal grease filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. The filters also help prevent flames (from food, grease) from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease filters should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.
To clean the grease filters, soak them and then swish them around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing.
The metal grease filters may also be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher.
To remove:
Pull the visor out. Grasp the filter lock and pivot it open to release. Pull the filter down and out. Remove both filters.
Filter Locks
To replace:
1.Insert the two tabs on the bottom filter edge into the slots in the back of the hood.
2.Push the front of the filter up, open the filter lock and snap it into place in the hood.
Charcoal filter
(on some models)
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 hood usage).
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced.
