CHARCOAL FILTER INSTALLATION
If the microwave oven has been
installed for room venting, the air
vented by the fan will be recirculated
back into the room through a pair of
disposable charcoal filters that help to
remove smoke and odors. If these filters
become excessively dirty or discolored,
they should be replaced. Under normal
conditions, these filters should be
replaced once every 6 to 12 months.
Charcoal Filter Kit (EMA-400)
If replacement charcoal filters are not
available from an authorized dealer in
your area, call 1-800-263-2244 for parts
ordering information. (See page 44 for
more details).
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Insert one end of the filter into the
back of the opening .
3. Push it up and slide it towards
you until it hangs in place.
GREASE FILTER INSTALLATION
The reusable metal grease filters trap
grease released by food on the
cooktop. They also prevent flames
from food on the cooktop from
damaging the inside of the oven.
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Hold the filter with the ring end
facing you.

of the opening.
