6. Installation (Setup)
Replacing your range hood filter is a straightforward process. Follow these general steps, but always consult your specific range hood's owner's manual for detailed instructions.
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning, ensure the range hood is completely disconnected from its power source to prevent electrical hazards.
- Locate Old Filter: Identify the existing grease filter in your range hood. It is typically located underneath the hood, above the cooking surface.
- Remove Old Filter: Most filters are held in place by spring clips, tabs, or a simple slot mechanism. Carefully disengage these fasteners and remove the old filter. Note its orientation for correct installation of the new filter.
- Insert New Filter: Align the new Broan-NuTone S97006931 filter with the filter slot or mounting area. Ensure it slides in smoothly and fits snugly.
- Secure Filter: Engage the spring clips, tabs, or other fastening mechanisms to secure the new filter in place. Confirm that the filter is firmly seated and does not wobble.
- Restore Power: Once the new filter is securely installed, reconnect the range hood to its power source.

7. Maintenance
Regular cleaning of your aluminum grease filter is crucial for maintaining optimal performance of your range hood and ensuring efficient air filtration. The frequency of cleaning depends on your cooking habits.
- Cleaning Procedure: Most aluminum filters can be cleaned by hand using hot water and a degreasing detergent. Alternatively, some filters are dishwasher-safe; consult your range hood manual for specific recommendations.
- Drying: Allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling it into the range hood.
- Replacement: If the filter becomes excessively clogged, damaged, or cannot be cleaned effectively, it should be replaced with a new one to ensure proper function and air quality.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your new filter, consider the following:
- Filter Does Not Fit: Double-check the dimensions of your old filter and compare them with the specifications of the S97006931 filter. Ensure your range hood model is listed as compatible.
- Reduced Airflow: If airflow seems reduced after installation, ensure the filter is correctly seated and not obstructed. If the issue persists, the filter may be incompatible or the range hood itself may require servicing.
- Oil Dripping: If oil or grease drips from the filter, it indicates that the filter is either saturated and requires cleaning/replacement, or it is not properly installed.
For persistent issues, refer to your range hood's owner's manual or contact a qualified service technician.
