Charcoal filter: The charcoal filter is behind the vent grille at the

top front of the microwave oven. The charcoal filter cannot be

cleaned, and should be replaced about every 6 months, or as

prompted by filter status indicator. Remove two screws on the

vent grille, tilt the grille forward, lift it out, and remove filter. To

reinstall, place the filter into its slotted area – wire mesh side

up, replace vent grille, and secure with screws. Filter part 8206230A .
