Cleaning and maintenance
Charcoal filter
Charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours, prior to the
cleansed air re-entering the kitchen (when the rangehood is in recirculating mode). Charcoal
filters are disposable items and it is recommended that these should be replaced every two
months depending on use.
Note:
Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement, impeding the rangehood’s
performance.
In the event of fire, fully grease laden filters could be flammable and therefore regular
replacement is recommended.
In ducted installations, conventional aluminium filters are recommended.
