Caring for the filters
The grease filters should be removed and
cleaned often, at least once a month.
NOTE: If your microwave hood combination
is installed to recirculate air, the charcoal
filter (available from your designated service
company, Part No. 4359416) should be
installed. The charcoal filter cannot be
cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to
12 months.
Grease filters:
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect
power.
2. To remove grease filters, slide each filter to
the side. Pull filters downward and push to
the other side. The filter will drop out.
3. 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 clean filters with
ammonia, corrosive cleaning agents such
as lye-based oven cleaners, or place
them in a dishwasher. The filters will turn
black or could be damaged.
