THE EXHAUST FEATURE
The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease.
When the fan is being operated, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the venting
to the outside or through the charcoal filters if not vented to the outside.
REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS
The reusable grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the microwave without the
filters in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below the hood, filters will stop the entry of
flames into the unit.
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once every 6 month, or as required.
TO REMOVE GREASE FILTER
To remove the grease filter holder, pull the tab toward the front of the oven. Repeat for the other grease filter
holder.
To remove the grease filter from the holder, pull using the "finger hold" to assist as shown in below image.
TO CLEAN GREASE FILTER
To clean grease filters, soak and then agitate filter in solution of hot water and detergent. Do not use ammonia
or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded
dirt. Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.
TO REPLACE GREASE FILTER
To replace the grease filter, slide the grease filter into the grease filter holder. Insert the grease filter holder into
the designated area of the bottom of the oven. Repeat for the other grease filter.
