ARING FOR THE FILTERS
The grease (aluminum) filters should be removed and
cleaned often, at least once a month. You can order
replacement grease filters (PN 8169758) from your
nearest authorized Whirlpool dealer.
The charcoal filters cannot be washed. For best
performance, we recommend that you replace
charcoal filters every six to twelve months. You can
order replacement charcoal filters (PN 4393791) from
your nearest authorized Whirlpool dealer.

side. Pull filters downward and push to the other
side. The filter will drop out.

This model comes with Dishwasher Safe Grease
Filters. Place the grease filters in an empty dish-
washer and wash. NOTE: Washing these filters with
dirty dishes may cause the filters to trap the parti-
cles from the dishes, so we recommend washing
separately in an empty dishwasher.
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.
