CARING FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

INSTALLING AND CARING FOR THE FILTERS

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: Your microwave hood combination comes with a charcoal filter to provide clean recirculated air. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. You can order replacements (PN 4393690) in the U.S.A. by calling 1-800-253-1301, or in Canada by calling the nearest service branch (see “If you need assis- tance or service in Canada” in the “Requesting Assistance or Service” section). Follow the instruc- tions and telephone prompts you hear.
