To remove each filter, place thumb in the indentation at the center front of the filter. Push back and pull down. 2. To clean the filters, soak in hot water and a mild detergent. Scrub with soft brush and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry. (Filters may be washed in the dishwasher, but aluminum will darken. Using ammonia for cleaning will also cause the aluminum to darken.) 3. To replace, place the long edge of the filter against the clips at the back and push up until it snaps into place.
