The vent fan has two metal
reusable grease filters. Models that recirculate air
back into the room also
use a charcoal filter.
The Vent Fan
Charcoal Filter
(on some models)
Reusable Grease Filters
(on all models)
The reusable grease filters
trap grease released by
foods on the cooktop.
They also prevent flames
from foods on the cooktop
from damaging the inside
of the microwave. For this reason, the filters
must ALWAYS be in place
when the hood is used.
The grease filters should
be cleaned once a month,
or as needed.
Reusable Grease
Filters
To remove, slide them to
the side using the tab. Pull
them down and out.
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. Light
brushing can be used to
remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let them
dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filters
in the frame slot on the
left side of the opening.
Pull up and to the right to
lock into place.
