Exhaust Feature

The Vent Fan

The exhaust fan has 2 metal reusable grease filter.

A charcoal filter can be used for removing smoke and odors in case the fan is not vented outside.

Charcoal Filter

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced.

If the oven is installed on the wall(or cabinet) and not vented to the out- side, 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).

Reusable Grease Filters

The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the microwave.

For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the vent fan is used. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

Removing and Cleaning the Filters

To remove, slide it to the left using the tab. Pull it down and out.

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

To replace, slide the filters in the frame slot on the left of the opening. Pull up and to the right to lock into place.

To remove the charcoal filter:

1.Disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or pull the plug.

2.Remove the top grille by removing the screws on top of the grille that hold it in place and sliding the grille to the left (opening the door makes grille removal easier).

3.Slide the filter toward the front of the oven and remove it.
