  1. Turn off the vent, oven and stove top. Allow the appliances sufficient time to cool down completely if they were in use. This can take up to an hour or longer, depending on the prior heat setting.

  2. Remove the filter from the vent.

  3. Spray all-purpose cleaner around the fan frame. Wipe with a warm damp rag to scrub away grease from the frame interior and exterior.

  4. Soak the filter in hot, soapy water for an hour to help loosen grease and debris. Place the filter in the dishwasher and run through a normal cycle.

  5. Inspect the filter, then repeat steps 3 and 4 if the filter is still dirty. Dry thoroughly, then replace the filter.

Tips

Clean your filter once a month to ensure that the vent is running at an optimal level.

Warnings

Do not attempt to clean charcoal filters. These must be replaced every six to 12 weeks
