FAQ's
Does my cooking hood have a carbon filter? How do I know if my hood has a carbon filter?
If your hood is connected to a vent, it doesn’t need a carbon filter. Hoods vented externally rather use a metallic grease filter. If you have a hood without a vent connection, it most likely uses a carbon filter.
To find out for sure whether your hood uses a carbon filter or not, consult your user manual. If you’re having trouble finding your manual, download it here using your product’s model number.
How often should I replace my hood’s carbon filter?
If you have a hood without a vent connection, it most likely uses a carbon filter. Carbon filters are disposable and need replacing from time to time. It’s recommended that carbon filters be replaced every 6 months. If you cook a lot or do a lot of frying, you may need to change your carbon filter every 3 to 4 months.
Follow the instructions in your user manual on how to remove and replace your hood’s carbon filter. If you’re having trouble finding your manual, download it here using your product’s model number.
