Filters

Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filters trap grease during cooking.
The filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in
use. The grease filters are dishwasher-safe and should be
cleaned every month, depending on usage of the hood.
To remove:
Disengage the filter lock to release the filter.
To replace:
Fit the tabs at the bottom of the filter into the slots in the
back of the filter opening. Lift up the front side of the filter
and push gently until the filter locks into place. Make sure
the filter lock is in the closed position to secure the filter.
To clean:
Swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse in clean
water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive
cleansers.
NOTE: Some discoloration of the filter may occur in the
dishwasher.
Charcoal Filter (for recirculation installation only)
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air needs to
be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that
helps remove smoke and odors.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter is included with the unit. It cannot
be cleaned; it must be replaced. It is recommended
that the charcoal filter be replaced every 6 months or
if it is noticeably dirty or discolored.
