Filters
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Metal Grease Filter
The metal filter traps grease released by foods from the
cooktop. The filter also helps prevent flames (from food,
grease) from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, 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.
Charcoal Filter
For recirculating installation only
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be
recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that
helps remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12
months, depending on hood usage).
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be
replaced.
