Exhaust Feature
The Vent Fan
The exhaust fan has 4 metal reusable grease filters.
A charcoal filter can be used for removing smoke and odors in case the fan
is not vented outside.
Reusable Grease Filters
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also
prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the
microwave.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the vent fan is
used. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
Removing and Cleaning the Filters
The rear filters are attached by magnets.
To remove, pull them down using you finger.
To remove the front filters, set the vent fan “LOW”.
(If the Slide-out hood is Off condition, the slide would not coming out.
- See the Slide-Out Hood On/Off Button instruction)
Then pull the slide hood a little further forward.
After it stops and pull the filters down using your finger.
Slide will close when you set the vent “OFF”.
To clean the grease filters, soak and then wash them around in hot water
and detergent.
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the
metal.
Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing.
To replace the rear filters,
insert one side of the filter into the slots and
push it up.
To replace the front filters,
open the slide by pressing the “

” button Insert one side of filter into the slots and push it up.
Press the “

” button again to close the slide.
Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced.
If the oven is installed on the wall(or cabinet) and not vented to the outside,
the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps
remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discol-
ored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage).
Removing Charcoal Filter
To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel or pull the plug.
Remove the top grille by removing the 2 screws that hold it in place. Slide
the filter towards the front of the oven and remove it.
