    Replacing Filters
    The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a 
    month. Do not operate the oven without the filters in place. The 
    charcoal filter cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6 
    to 12 months. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder filters. See 
    “General Cleaning” for cleaning instructions.
