Replacing Filters

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a 
month. Do not operate the oven without the filters in place. The 
charcoal filters cannot be washed and should be replaced every 
6 to 12 months. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder filters. 
See “General Cleaning” for cleaning instructions.

To Remove:

1. Remove each of the grease filters by pushing the back of the 

filter up, grasping the tab, and sliding the filter to the back. 
Pull tab down until the filter drops out.

2. Remove each charcoal filter by pushing the filter toward the 

center of the oven until it is clear of the narrow outer lip. 
Swing the filter down and slide it out.

To Replace:

1. Replace each charcoal filter by positioning it above the wide 

lip near the center of the oven. Swing the filter up into 
position and slide it toward the narrow lip. The filter will now 
be held in position between the lips.

2. Replace each grease filter by inserting the end without the 

tab into the frame. Swing other side up and slide into 
position.
