Hi, my son and I installed this microwave over my stove. I set it for the exhaust for “recirculating.” After we installed it I realized that I did not put in the charcoal filter. Is this necessary??? null

Yes, if your recirculating air. You can do it without taking down the microwave.

Bill · Answer

Highly recommended; It filters out odors. Easy to install.

It's not "necessary", but it will definitely help with food smells. You are able to install it once it's mounted though. This is how you are able to change the filter regularly. You just need to remove the three small screws along the top and the filter grate slides to the left and out.
