Important: Always unplug your microwave oven from the power source before attempting any maintenance or filter replacement.
Operating Principle
The charcoal filter functions by drawing air from the microwave oven through its activated carbon material. The activated carbon adsorbs cooking odors, smoke particles, and other airborne contaminants, releasing cleaner air back into the kitchen environment. This process helps maintain a fresh-smelling kitchen.
