About the exhaust feature.
Charcoal Filter
(on some models)
Reusable Grease Filters
(on all models)
The Vent Fan
The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters.
Models that recirculate air back into the room
also use a charcoal filter.
Reusable Grease 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
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 outside 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 replacing.
To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot at the
outside of the opening. Pull up and in to lock
into place.
