Vent Fan
The vent fan has two metal reusable vent
f
ilters.
M
odels that recirculate air back into the room
also use a charcoal filter.
Reusable Vent Filter
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 Grease Filters
The grease filters should be removed and
cleaned often, at least once a month.
Disconnect power or unplug the
microwave oven.
To remove the grease filters, slide
the filters to the back. Pull the filters
downward. The filters will drop out.
Soak the grease filters in hot water and
a mild detergent. Scrub and swish to
remove embedded dirt and grease.
Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not clean
filters with ammonia, corrosive cleaning
agents such as lye-based oven cleaners,
or place them in a dishwasher. The filters
will turn black or could be damaged.
To reinstall the filters, slide them into
the back slots, then push up to lock.
Reconnect power or plug in the
microwave oven.
NOTE: Do not operate the hood without
the filters in place.
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.
