trapped in the filters.

cleaning them in the dishwasher. This is normal, and will not

month. Do not operate the microwave oven or exhaust fan without
the grease filter in place. The charcoal filter cannot be washed and
should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. See "General Cleaning"
for cleaning instructions. See "Assistance or Service" to reorder
filters.
Filter Status Indicator
As a reminder, approximately every 6 months, the "CLEAN/
CHANGE FILTERS" message will scroll in the display when the
VENT FAN control is touched. After filters are replaced, reset the
filter status. See "Setup Menu" section.
To Remove and Replace Grease Filter:
1. Remove the grease filter by the sliding filter to the left side of
the microwave oven until the right end of the filter drops down,
then pull out the filter.
2. Replace grease filter by inserting one end of the filter into the
left rim of the frame. Swing the right end of the filter up and
slide it into position.
