Q: Do I need charcoal filters for my cooker hood?

Charcoal filters are required if your cooker hood is recirculating rather than ducted outside. They absorb cooking odours and airborne impurities before clean air is returned to your kitchen.

Q: How often should charcoal filters be replaced?

Most charcoal filters should be replaced every 3–6 months, depending on how often you cook. Heavy cooking or frequent frying may require more regular replacement.

Q: Can charcoal cooker hood filters be washed?

Standard charcoal filters cannot be washed and must be replaced once saturated. Some long-life or regenerable filters can be cleaned and reactivated if specified by the manufacturer.

Q: What happens if I don't replace my charcoal filter?

A saturated charcoal filter loses its ability to absorb odours, which can lead to lingering smells and reduced cooker hood performance.

Q: How do I know which charcoal filter fits my cooker hood?

Charcoal filters are often model-specific. Check your cooker hood model number or contact support to confirm the correct replacement.

Q: Do I need a metal grease filter for my cooker hood?

Most cooker hoods use a metal grease filter to capture airborne grease and help protect the motor. Metal grease filters are commonly used on ducted installations, but can also be fitted on many recirculating setups as a first-stage grease filter.

Q: Can metal grease filters be washed?

Yes. Metal mesh grease filters are typically washable. Many can be cleaned in a dishwasher on a gentle cycle, or washed by hand with warm soapy water. Allow the filter to fully dry before refitting.

Q: How often should I clean my metal grease filter?

Clean metal grease filters approximately every 4–8 weeks depending on cooking frequency. More regular cleaning may be needed for heavy cooking or frequent frying.

Q: What happens if I don't clean my grease filter regularly?

A blocked grease filter can restrict airflow, reduce extraction performance and lead to grease build-up inside the hood. Regular cleaning helps maintain efficiency and hygiene.

Q: How do I know which filter fits my cooker hood?

Grease filters vary by size and charcoal filters are often model-specific. Measure your existing filter (width, height and thickness in millimetres) or check your cooker hood model number. If you're unsure, contact support and we'll confirm compatibility.

Whether you need metal grease filters for efficient extraction or charcoal carbon filters for recirculating hoods, choosing the right filter is essential for maintaining airflow, removing odours, and protecting your appliance.

Over time, cooker hood filters become clogged with grease, smoke particles, and airborne contaminants, reducing extraction efficiency and increasing noise levels. Replacing your filters regularly ensures your cooker hood continues to perform as designed — keeping your kitchen environment hygienic and odour-free.
