Reusable Vent Filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the
cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven.
For this reason, the filters must always be in place when
the hood is used. The vent filters should be cleaned
once a month, or as needed.

Slide each filter to the side, then pull the filters
downward. The filters will drop out.

Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be
replaced. See back cover for ordering online at

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 usage). See
