Charcoal Filter
(on some models)
Reusable Grease Filter
(on all models)
The reusable grease filter
traps grease released by
foods on the cooktop. It
also prevents flames from
foods on the cooktop from
damaging the inside of
the microwave.
For this reason, the filter
must ALWAYS be in place
when the hood is used.
The grease filter should be
cleaned once a month, or
as needed.
Reusable Grease
Filters
To remove, slide it to the
side 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 it 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
left side of the opening.
Pull up and to the right to
lock into place.
