Grease Filters
Exhaust Maintenance
Exhaust hood is equipped with two metal filters which
collect grease. Never operate oven without filters in place.
In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below
hood, filters will stop entry of flames into unit. When fan is
operated, air is drawn through filters. Depending on
installation, it is either discharged through venting to
outside or drawn through charcoal filter and recirculated.
Removing grease filters:
1. Grasp tab on filter and slide to rear.
2. Pull filter downward to front. Filter will drop out.
Cleaning grease filters:
Grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month to
remove residue. Clean filters by soaking and agitating in
warm sudsy water. Do not use ammonia or ammonia
products, they will darken metal. Light brushing can be
used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and remove
moisture before replacing.
Charcoal Filter (recirculating installation only)
Microwave oven can be recirculated instead of being
vented to outside. For recirculating installation, charcoal
filter must be used. Charcoal filter removes smoke and
odors caused by cooking on range top. Charcoal filter is
disposable and should be replaced when it is noticeably
dirty or discolored (approximately every 6 to 12 months,
depending on usage). Charcoal filter may be purchased
