AMMONIA DISHWASHER
Do not allow grease and soil to build up in the grease filters. It will decrease the exhaust fan efficiency and could cause a fire. Remove and clean grease filters at least once a month.
NOTE: If your microwave hood combination is installed to recirculate air, you should install the charcoal filter accessory (available from your authorized service company, PN 4393690). The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. You can order the filter in the U.S.A. by calling 1-800-253-1301, or in Canada by calling the nearest service branch (see “If you need assistance or service in Canada” in the “Requesting Assistance or Service” section). Follow the instructions and telephone prompts you hear.
