- Frequency: Clean filters every 3-6 months, or more frequently depending on cooking habits.
- Removal: Gently push the latch on the filter and pull downwards to remove.
- Cleaning Method: Filters can be hand-washed with warm, soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation.
- Reinstallation: Align the filter with the slots and push upwards until it clicks into place.

Replacing Charcoal Filters (Ductless Mode Only)
If operating in ductless mode, the CC110 charcoal filters absorb odors and should be replaced periodically.
- Frequency: Replace charcoal filters every 3-6 months, or more frequently depending on usage.
- Removal: Remove the aluminum grease filters first. Twist the charcoal filters counter-clockwise to detach them from the motor housing.
- Installation: Place new charcoal filters onto the motor housing and twist clockwise to secure. Reinstall aluminum grease filters.
