CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
Your microwave oven has two metal reusable grease
filters. The grease filters should be removed and cleaned
at least once a month, or as required.
WARNING

do not operate the oven hood without the filters in
place.
1.
To remove the filter, slide it to the left (or right) using
the tab.
2.
Soak the grease filter in hot water and a mild
detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Brushing the
filter lightly can remove embedded dirt.
WARNING
Do not use ammonia or put the grease filter in the
microwave oven. The aluminum will darken.

slot on the left (or right), then push it upwards and to
the right (or left) to lock it.
