How to Replace Over the Range Filters

In this video, the presenter demonstrates how to replace or change over the range filters in a microwave. The presenter explains that these filters help absorb greasy and oily particles from steam when cooking, allowing hot air to go up through the exhaust and preventing walls and kitchen backsplash from becoming greasy.

Replacing Over the Range Filters

• Filters need to be replaced every 6 months to 1 year depending on how much grease they accumulate.

• To replace filters, lift them with your fingers and pull them out.

• When replacing with new filters, slide one side inside and use fingers to push it into place. No drilling or screwing is required.

• Changing over the range filters at least every 6 months is important for effective exhaust functioning.
