The metal filters trap grease released by foods
on the cooktop. The filters also help prevent
flames (from food, grease) from damaging the
inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in
place when the hood is used. The grease filters
should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.
To clean the grease filters, soak them and then
swish them around in hot water and detergent.
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products
because they will darken the metal. Do not use
abrasives or oven cleaners. Light brushing can
be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake
and let them dry before replacing.
The metal grease filters may also be cleaned in
an automatic dishwasher.
To remove:
Pull the visor out. Grasp the filter lock and pivot
it open to release. Pull the filter down and out.
Remove both filters.
To replace:
1. Insert the two tabs on the bottom filter edge
into the slots in the back of the hood.
2. Push the front of the filter up, open the filter
lock and snap it into place in the hood.
