CARE AND CLEANING
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 chacoal filter (Part No.5230W1 A003A) is available
from Sears by calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME®. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months.
Grease filters (Part N o .2B72705B):
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.
4. To replace grease filters, slide filter in the frame slot on one
side of the opening. Push filter upward and push to the other
side to lock into place.
5. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.
