Cleaning the Hood
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at
the service panel and lock the service panel to prevent
power from being switched on accidentally.
CHARCOAL FILTERS
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be
recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help
remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filters should be replaced when they are
noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12
months, depending on hood usage).
The charcoal filters are NOT included with the unit.
Order charcoal filter UXCF91.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an
automatic dishwasher.
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be
replaced.

or in the dishwasher using non-abrasive soap.
To clean, swish the filters in hot, soapy water or wash
them in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
