CARING FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
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: If your microwave hood combination is
installed to recirculate air, you should install the
charcoal filter accessory (available from your
authorized service company, PN 4393690). The
charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be
replaced every 6 to 12 months. You can order the
filter in the U.S.A. by calling 1-800-253-1301, or in
Canada by calling the nearest service branch (see
“If you need assistance or service in Canada” in the
“Requesting Assistance or Service” section). Follow
the instructions and telephone prompts you hear.
Removing, cleaning, and replacing
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. To remove the grease filters (PN 4393691), push
each filter up on the side
opposite the tab. Grasp
the tab and slide the
filter to the side. Pull the
filter downward. It will
drop out.
3. To remove the charcoal filters, push the back
of each filter away from
you. This will slide the
front of the filter off the
lower lip. Swing the
front of the filter down
and slide the filter out.
4. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild
detergent. Scrub and
swish to remove
embedded dirt and
grease. Rinse well
and shake to dry.
Do not use ammonia,
corrosive cleaning
agents such as
lye-based oven
cleaners, or place
in a dishwasher. The
filter will turn black or could be damaged.
5. To replace the charcoal filters, push each filter
to the back of the
opening, between the
upper and lower lips
against the springs.
Swing the front of the
filter up against the
upper lip. Slide the filter
forward while pushing it
up against the upper
lip. The filter will now be
held in position be-
tween the lips by the
spring.
6. To replace the grease filters, slide each filter
into the outer side of
the filter opening. Make
sure you are sliding in
the side of the filter that
does not have the tab.
Hold the tab with your
other hand. Push up the
tab side of the filter and
slide the filter to the other
side of the opening to
lock into place.
7. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.
NOTE: Do not operate the vent fan without the filters
in place.
