Installing
and caring
for the filters
Do not allow grease and soil to build up in the
grease filters. It will decrease the exhaust fan
efficiency and could cause a fire. Remove and
clean grease filters at least once a month.
NOTE: Your microwave hood combination
comes
with a charcoal filter to provide clean, recirculated
air.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should
be replaced every 6 to 12 months. You can order
replacements (PN 4393690) from your nearest Sears
Service Center.
