Replacing Filters
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a
month. Do not operate the oven or vent fan without the grease
filters in place. The charcoal odor filter cannot be cleaned and
should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. See “General
Cleaning” for cleaning instructions. See “Assistance or Service”
to reorder filters.
