The exhaust fan has 2 metal reusable
grease filters.
Models that recirculate air back into
the room also use a charcoal filter.
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 hood is used. The
grease filters should be cleaned once a
month, or as needed.
To remove, slide it to the rear using
the tab. Pull it down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it and
then swish it 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 it dry before
replacing.
To replace, slide the filter in the frame
slot on the back of the opening. Pull up
and to the front to lock into place.
