About the exhaust feature.
Vent Fan
The vent fan has two metal reusable
vent filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the
room also use a charcoal filter.
Reusable Vent 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 oven.
For this reason, the filters must always be
in place when the hood is used. The vent
filters should be cleaned once a month,
or as needed.
Removing and Cleaning the Filters
To remove, slide them to the rear using the
tabs. Pull down and out.
To clean the vent filters, soak them and
then swish 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 dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filters into the frame
slots on the back of each opening. Press up
and to the front to lock into place.
