Cleaning greasefilters the
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a month. NOTE: If you are using charcoal filters from the Non-Vent Kit (Pat-l No. 814023) they should be replaced every 12 months. Do not attempt to clean. Lower filters
(beneath the microwave oven) 1. To remove each filter, place thumb in the indentation at the center front of the filter. Push back and pull down. 2. To replace, place the long edge of the filter against the clips at the back and push up until it snaps into place. Top filter (above the microwave oven, under the Upper Vent Door) 1. To remove filter, lift the Upper Vent Door. Use plastic tab at center of the filter to push up and lift out the filter. 2. To replace, place top edge of the filter against the clips at the top of the opening. Push up and in until filter snaps into place. Make sure the plastic tab at the bottom of the filter is facing out. To clean non-charcoal filters, soak in hot water and mild detergent. Scrub with a soft brush and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake dry. (Filters may be washed in the dishwasher, but the aluminum will darken. Using ammonia for cleaning will also cause the aluminum to darken.)
Fire Hazard Do not operate the exhaust vent system without the filters in place. Grease could accumulate in the venting system and cause a fire hazard.
