Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions About the exhaust feature. Charcoal filter (on some models). Vent The vent has a reusable metal vent filter. Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter. Reusable vent filters (on all models). Reusable Vent Filter The metal filter traps grease released by foods on the cooktop. It also prevents flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the oven. For this reason, the filter must always be in place when the hood is used. The vent filter should be cleaned once a month, or as needed. Removing and Cleaning the Filter To remove, slide the filter to the rear using the tabs. Pull down and out. To clean the vent filter, soak and then swish it around in hot water and detergent. Don't use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Brush lightly to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let dry before replacing. To replace, slide the filter into the frame slot to the back of the opening. Press up and to the front to lock into place. 28
