If the model is not vented
to the outside, the air will
be recirculated through a
disposable charcoal filter
that helps remove smoke
and odors.
The charcoal filter
should be replaced when
it is noticeably dirty or
discolored (usually after
6 to 12 months, depending
on hood usage).
The charcoal filter
cannot be cleaned. It
must be replaced. Order
Part No. WB2X9883 from
your Hotpoint supplier.
