clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on the
type of cooking you do. Greasefilters should be
cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the
downdraft without the filters in place.
To remove: Slipfingers into the vent holes, lift the
vent straight up and pull forward. Grasp the filter
tabs, push down and out of the retainer.
To clean: Soak and then agitate in a hot detergent
solution. Light brushing may be used to remove
embedded soil.Rinse,shake and remove moisture
before replacing. Do not clean the filters in the
dishwasher.
With careful handling, the filter will lastfor years.
