Caring for Your Microwave Oven

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned
often, at least once a month.

NOTE: Your microwave hood combination comes
with a charcoal filter to provide clean recirculated air.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should
be replaced every 6 to 12 months.

You can order replacements (Part No. 4393690) by
calling

1-800-422-1230

and following the instruc-

tions and telephone prompts you hear.

If you prefer, you can visit our website at:

Removing, cleaning, and replacing

1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.

2. To remove the grease filters (Part No.

4393691), push each fil-
ter up on the side oppo-
site the tab. Grasp the
tab and slide the filter to
the side. Pull the filter
downward. It will drop
out.

3. To remove the charcoal filters, push the back

of each filter away from
you. This will slide the
front of the filter off the
lower lip. Swing the
front of the filter down
and slide the filter out.

4. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild

detergent. Scrub and
swish to remove
embedded dirt and
grease. Rinse well
and shake to dry.

Do not use

ammonia, corrosive
cleaning agents such
as lye-based oven
cleaners, or place
in a dishwasher. The

filter will turn black or could be damaged.

5. To replace the charcoal filters, push each filter

to the back of the
opening, between the
upper and lower lips
against the springs.
Swing the front of the
filter up against the
upper lip. Slide the filter
forward while pushing it
up against the upper lip.
The filter will now be
held in position between
the lips by the spring.

6. To replace the grease filters, slide each filter

into the outer side of the
filter opening. Make
sure you are sliding in
the side of the filter that
does not have the tab.
Hold the tab with your
other hand. Push up the
tab side of the filter and
slide the filter to the
other side of the
opening to lock into
place.

7. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.

NOTE: Do

not operate the vent fan without the

grease filters in place.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before removing filters.

Replace all panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death
or electrical shock.
