5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your cooker hood.

5.1 Cleaning the Grease Filter

The grease filter should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on usage) to maintain extraction efficiency and prevent grease buildup.

  • Remove the grease filter by releasing its latches.
  • Wash the filter by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
  • Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing.

5.2 Replacing the Activated Carbon Filter (K201)

If operating in recirculation mode, the activated carbon filter (K201) absorbs odors and should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
