With the hood off, grasp the stainless steel panel at its front corners and pull it down, then release each metal filter by its spring handle. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Which button clears Clean Grease Filter on a KitchenAid hood? On this under-cabinet control it is the Power Increase button, held for 5 seconds. Holding FAN, the reset on hoods that show F, does not apply here. ### Why does Clean Grease Filter only show when my KitchenAid fan is running? The control only displays the reminder while the fan is active. Switch the fan on and it will appear until you clear it. ### How often should I really clean the filters on this KitchenAid hood? The message comes every 30 fan hours, which is a fair rhythm for normal cooking. Fry or sear often and it is worth washing them sooner. --- **[Read on the site: KitchenAid hood display reads Clean Grease Filter](https://rangehooderepair.center/error-codes/kitchenaid-clean-grease-filter/)** **[Book a visit with RangeHoodeRepair.center](https://rangehooderepair.center/schedule/)**
