Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, it is crucial to measure your existing filter. These filters measure 300 x 250 mm. Compare these dimensions precisely with your current filter to ensure a correct fit. Many cooker hood models use filters with different sizes.
Initial Setup: Your new filter may arrive with blue protective strips on the metal mesh. Carefully peel and remove these strips before installing the filter. Ensure the cooker hood is switched off and unplugged before attempting to remove or install filters.
Care and Cleaning: To clean the filter, remove it from the cooker hood. Wash it by hand in warm, soapy water, or place it in a dishwasher on a hot cycle (check your cooker hood manual for dishwasher safety recommendations). Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinserting it into the cooker hood. Regular cleaning, ideally every 1-2 months, will maintain optimal performance and extend the filter's lifespan.
