Cooker Hood Filters

Cleaning the range hood filter is an important step to keep the range hood running efficiently. Here are the detailed cleaning methods:

1. Determine the filter type

There are several types of filters for range hoods:

Metal filters: Common in most modern range hoods, used to capture grease.

Activated carbon filters: Used in recirculating range hoods, mainly to absorb odors.

Disposable filters: Usually made of paper or fiber.

2. Prepare tools and materials

Warm water

Dishwashing liquid or special degreaser

Soft brush or sponge

Baking soda (can be used to deal with stubborn oil stains)

Towel or rag

3. Cleaning the metal filter

1. Remove the filter

Remove the filter according to the range hood manual.

Usually, you can remove it by pressing the buckle or sliding the filter.

2. Soak the filter

Pour warm water into a sink or large basin.

Add an appropriate amount of dishwashing liquid or special degreaser and stir well.

You can add 1-2 spoons of baking soda to enhance the degreasing effect.

Soak the filter completely and let it stand for 10-15 minutes.

3. Scrub the filter

Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the filter surface to remove oil stains.

It is not recommended to use rough tools such as steel wool to avoid damaging the filter.

4. Rinse the filter

Rinse thoroughly with warm water to ensure that there is no residual detergent.

5. Dry the filter

Wipe the surface moisture with a towel and place it in a ventilated place to dry naturally.

4. Activated carbon filter

Activated carbon filter cannot be cleaned and can only be replaced regularly. It is recommended to replace it every 3-6 months.

5. Disposable filter

If it is a paper or fiber filter, it should be replaced directly with a new one. It cannot be cleaned.

6. Clean the inside of the range hood

While cleaning the filter, wipe the inside of the range hood with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove oil and dust.

7. Install the filter

After making sure the filter is completely dry, install it back into the range hood in the same way as before.

Tips

It is recommended to clean the metal filter every 1-3 months to maintain the performance of the range hood.

If there is a lot of oil stains, you can extend the soaking time appropriately or use a professional degreaser.
