Reusable Metal Grease Filters

The hood has 2 metal reusable
grease filters.

The metal filters trap grease released
by foods on the cooktop. They also
help prevent flaming foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside
of the hood.

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.

To remove,

press the filter locks

back and pull the filters down
and out.

To replace,

insert the rear filter tabs

in the frame slots at the back of the
opening. Push the filters up and lock
them into place.

To clean the grease filters

, soak

them and then swish them around
in hot water and detergent.
Don’t use ammonia or ammonia
products because they will darken
the metal. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners. Light brushing can
be used to remove embedded dirt.
Rinse, shake and let them dry before
replacing. They may also be cleaned
in an automatic dishwasher.

NOTE: Before cleaning, make sure the
charcoal filters, if present, are unclipped
and removed. See the Charcoal Filters
section.

If it ever becomes necessary to replace
the metal grease filters, they may be
ordered from your GE supplier.
