Reusable grease
filters
The metal filters trap grease
released by foods on the cooktop.
They also prevent flames from
foods on the cooktop from dam-
aging 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.
Removing and
Cleaning the Filter
To remove, slide it to the
left/right using the tab. Pull it
down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it
and then swish it 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 it dry before replac-
ing.
To replace, slide the filter in the
frame slot on the left/right of the
opening. Pull up and to the
left/right to lock into place.
