The Vent Fan
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the room also
use a charcoal filter.
Charcoal Filter
(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
Removing and Cleaning the Filter
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.
