3. Compatibility

These carbon filters are compatible with B&Q GHP60SS and CTCG60 cooker hoods. Always verify your cooker hood's model number and filter requirements before purchase to ensure correct fitment. The manufacturer reference for these filters is FIL484_..

4. Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure the cooker hood is switched off and disconnected from the mains power supply to prevent electric shock.

1. Access the Filter Compartment: Depending on your cooker hood model, you may need to open the grease filter grille or remove the metal grease filters to access the carbon filter housing. Refer to your cooker hood's specific instruction manual for detailed steps.
2. Remove Old Filters: Carefully unclip or twist out the old carbon filters. Note their orientation for correct installation of the new ones.
3. Install New Filters: Position the new B&Q GHP60SS CTCG60 carbon filters into the housing. Ensure they are securely clipped or twisted into place. The filters should fit snugly without excessive force.
4. Reassemble: Replace any removed grease filters or grilles.
5. Restore Power: Reconnect the cooker hood to the mains power supply.

Note: Always consult your specific cooker hood's user manual for precise filter replacement instructions, as procedures may vary between models.

5. Maintenance

Carbon filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically to maintain effective odor absorption. The lifespan of the filters depends on usage frequency and cooking habits.

• Replacement Frequency: It is generally recommended to replace carbon filters every 3 to 6 months. Heavy cooking or frequent use may necessitate more frequent replacement.
• Signs of Saturation: If you notice a decrease in odor absorption or persistent cooking smells even with the hood running, it is likely time to replace the carbon filters.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues after installing new carbon filters, consider the following:

• Persistent Odors: Ensure the filters are correctly installed and securely seated. If odors persist, the filters may be faulty (though rare) or the cooker hood itself may require servicing.
• Improper Fit: Double-check that you have purchased the correct model of carbon filters for your specific B&Q cooker hood. Refer to the compatibility section and your hood's manual.
