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.
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 (PN 4393690) by calling

Removing, cleaning, and replacing
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. To remove the grease filters (PN 4393691),
push each filter up on
the side opposite 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.
