Reusable Vent Filters

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 oven.

For this reason, the filters must always be in

place when the hood is used. The vent filters

should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

Removing and Cleaning the Filters

To remove, slide them to the rear using the

tabs. Pull down and out.
To clean the vent filters, soak them and then

swish 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 dry before replacing.
To replace, slide the filters into the frame slots

on the back of each opening. Press up and to

the front to lock into place.
