Luxair Arcus Recirculating Filter Kit — Number 17
If your Luxair Arcus venting induction hob operates in recirculation mode — returning filtered air back into the kitchen through a plinth grille rather than venting externally — this is the complete replacement filter kit that keeps it working effectively. The Number 17 is a three-piece filter kit designed specifically for all Arcus models, providing efficient capture of grease, airborne particles, and cooking odours without any external ducting required.
Compatible with all Luxair Arcus venting induction hob models:
- Arcus 60cm Venting Induction Hob
- Arcus 75cm Venting Induction Hob
- Arcus 83cm Venting Induction Hob

What's in the kit
The Number 17 kit contains three filters that work together as a complete recirculation system:
2 × metal grease filters impregnated with active charcoal — these replace the standard aluminium grease filters fitted directly into the hob. They capture grease and begin the initial odour absorption at the point of extraction.
1 × long-life carbon mat filter — this fits inside the filter insert housing within the hob. It provides the secondary stage of odour filtration before the air is returned to the kitchen. The carbon mat filter is the main odour-absorbing component.
All three filters are included in a single kit — everything needed for a complete recirculation filter change in one purchase.
Dishwasher safe — washable and long-lasting
All three filters in the kit are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Do not place in the oven. With regular dishwasher cleaning, the filters maintain effective odour absorption across their full lifespan. Replace the complete kit every 2 years — a significantly longer replacement interval than standard disposable charcoal filters, making this a highly cost-effective recirculation solution over time.
How to install
Installation requires no specialist tools:
- Lift the filter insert from the extractor hob
- Fit the carbon mat filter to the underside of the insert
- Install the two charcoal-impregnated metal filters into the hob
- Refit the filter insert and start cooking
Frequently asked questions
Does my Arcus hob need to be in recirculation mode to use this kit?
Yes. The Number 17 filter kit is only required when your Arcus venting hob is operating in recirculation mode — where extracted air is filtered and returned to the kitchen through a plinth grille, rather than being vented to an outside wall. If your Arcus is ducted externally, charcoal filters are not required.
How often should I replace the Number 17 filter kit?
Replace the complete kit every 2 years. Unlike standard charcoal filters which require replacement every 3–4 months, the Number 17 is a long-life washable kit. Regular dishwasher cleaning between replacements maintains performance throughout the 2-year lifespan.
Can I wash these filters in the dishwasher?
Yes — all three filters in the kit are dishwasher-safe. Do not place them in the oven. Allow filters to dry fully before refitting.
Is the Number 17 kit compatible with the Arcus 78cm?
The related products on this page show the 60cm, 75cm and 83cm Arcus models. Please contact Luxair to confirm compatibility with the 78cm before ordering.
What happens if I don't replace the filter kit?
A saturated or clogged filter kit stops absorbing odours effectively and restricts airflow through the hob, reducing extraction performance. Cooking smells will return to the kitchen and the motor may have to work harder. Replacing every 2 years and cleaning regularly maintains full performance.
Does the subscription auto-renew?
Yes — the subscription renews automatically. You can skip, pause, or cancel at any time. Full details are in our subscription policy.
