(on some models)
Reusable Grease Filters
(on all models)
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.
Reusable Grease
Filters
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.
