CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
Your microwave oven has two metal reusable grease
fi lters. The grease fi lters should be removed and cleaned
at least once a month, or as required.
WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage,
do not operate the oven hood without the fi lters in
place.
1. To remove the fi lter, slide it to the left (or right) using
the tab.
2. Soak the grease fi lter in hot water and a mild
detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Brushing the
fi lter lightly can remove embedded dirt.

slot on the left (or right), then push it upwards and to
the right (or left) to lock it.
