CAUTION! Do not use steam cleaners or harsh chemicals. Never immerse electrical parts in water.

Filter Replacement

Grease filters should be cleaned every 1-2 months depending on use.

  1. Remove filters by pulling down on latch or releasing spring clips.
  2. Wash filters in hot soapy water or in dishwasher (top rack).
