INSTALLING AND CARING FOR FILTERS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before removing filters.
Replace all panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
The grease (aluminum) filters should be removed
and cleaned often, at least once a month.
You can order replacements (Part No. 4393862)
from your nearest Sears Service Center.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and
should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. The
replacement schedule for the charcoal filter is
intended mainly for those who install the microwave
hood combination in Recirculation mode.
NOTE: Your microwave hood combination comes
with a charcoal (Part No. 8169645) filter installed
behind the aluminum grease filter. The charcoal fil-
ter helps remove odors and provide clean recircu-
lated air. You may remove the charcoal filter if vent-
ing to the outside.
