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 filter must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in
use. The grease filter is dishwasher-safe and should be
cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.
To remove:
Pull downward on 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 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 cannot be cleaned. It must be
replaced. It is recommended that the charcoal filter
be replaced every 6-12 months or if it is noticeably
dirty or discolored.

filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.
To replace:
Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs and
push the front edge up until it snaps into place.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an
automatic dishwasher.
