Metal Grease Filter; Charcoal Filter - GE PV977 Manual Del Propietario Y Instalación

Filters
Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filter traps grease released by foods from the
cooktop. The filter also helps prevent flames (from food,
grease) from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filter must ALWAYS be in place
when the hood is in use. The grease filter is dishwasher-
safe and should be cleaned every 6 months, or as
needed.
To remove:
Pull downward on the filter lock to release the filter.
To replace:
Fit the tabs at the end of the filter into the slots in left side
of the filter opening. Lift up the right side of the filter and
push gently until the filter locks into place. Make sure the
filter lock is in the closed position to secure the filter.
To clean, swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse
in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use
abrasive cleansers.
NOTE: Some discoloration will occur in the dishwasher.

Charcoal Filter

For recirculating installation only
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 hood usage).
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced.
