Care and Cleaning Grease Filters Cleaning Cleaning Chart WARNING Be sure the entire appliance (including the filters and lights) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance. Your hood has removable aluminum mesh filters. They must be cleaned when the FILTER light illuminates on the touch panel or whenever they collect grease. When used over a grill, wok or other high grease applications, more frequent cleaning may be required. The filters may be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Soak the ventilation filters in hot water using a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry. Slight discoloration can occur when cleaning the filters in a dishwasher. This has no influence on the function of the grease filters. NOTE: Reverse the directions below to remove the filters. Ensure filters are cool and grease has solidified before removal. NOTE: Do not use cooktop, rangetop, or range while hood is disassembled. To Install Filters: •• Remove the filter by pulling the spring release filter latch and then pulling down the filter. •• Reinstall the filter by making sure the spring release filter latch is toward the front. Insert aluminum filter into upper track. •• Push in spring release filter latch. •• Push up on aluminum filter and release handle to latch into place.
