0 / 6 done

1. Switch the appliance off, allow it to cool, and check the manual for separate grease and charcoal filters.
2. Follow the model's removal directions, disconnect power, and access only user-removable filters; never open electrical compartments.
3. Clean the grease filter gently using the method approved by that model, rinse thoroughly and dry fully.
4. Inspect and clean the hood grease filter about monthly; ask for replacement if bent or damaged.
5. Do not assume charcoal recirculation filters are washable. Use the specified replacement; Samsung typically advises 6–12 months.
6. Secure clean, dry filters correctly, check that they are locked in place, and stop using the unit if abnormal noise develops.
