Grease filters
The efficiency of your downdraft depends on a
clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the
type of cooking you do. Grease filters should be
cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the
downdraft without the filters in place.
To remove:
Slip fingers into the vent holes, lift the
vent straight up and down. Grasp the filter tabs,
push down and out of the retainer.
To clean:
Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent
solution. Light brushing may be used to remove
embedded soil. Rinse, shake and remove moisture
before replacing.
Do not clean the filters in the
dishwasher.
With careful handling, the filter will last for years.
If replacement becomes necessary, order the part
from your dealer.
