Charcoal Filter (on some models)
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order Part No. WB02X9883 from your Hotpoint 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 dis- colored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).
To Remove Charcoal Filter
Remove 2 grille screws to remove the grille.
To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug.
Remove the top grille by removing the 2 screws that hold it in place. Slide the filter towards the front of the oven and remove it.
