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.
