The metal filters trap grease released by foods
on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from
foods on the cooktop from damaging the
inside of the microwave. For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in
place when the hood is used. The grease filters
should be cleaned once a month, or as needed. Reusable

Removing
and Cleaning
the Filter To remove, slide it to the outside using
the tab. Pull it down and out.
To clean the grease filter, soak it and then
swish it around in hot water and detergent.
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products
because they will darken the metal.
Light brushing can be used to remove
embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot
at the outside of the opening. Pull up and in
to lock into place.
Charcoal
Filter (on
some models) The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must
be replaced. Order Part No. WB2X10956 from
your GE supplier.
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).
See “Optional Kits”, page 7, for more
information.
