Here\u2019s what you need to know about <\/span>cooker hood <\/span>maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

General Cleaning Guideline for <\/b>Cooker Hoods<\/b><\/h2>\n

Before you start cleaning a <\/span>cooker hood<\/span>, there are a few guidelines to consider and help you get ready to get the deed done. <\/span>For starters, you\u2019ll have to determine the type of <\/span>cooker hood <\/span>filter. Part of the hood, the filter plays a key role in capturing all the grease, dirt and particles. Despite playing the main role of improving the air quality in your kitchen, each type of cooker filter functions slightly differently, thus necessitating the use of different cleaning tools to ensure a proper cleaning session.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Type of <\/b>Cooker Hood<\/b> Filters<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are 2 types of <\/span>cooker hood<\/span> filters that would need the most attention during the cleaning process. Your <\/span>cooker hood<\/span> will have one of these, so identify them and see if it needs cleaning or replacing. These are:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Metal Filter<\/b><\/h3>\n

Metal filters are great at trapping grease as you are cooking, while the exhaust fan helps remove cooking smoke and some odours. These filters need to be cleaned every three to four months. If left uncleaned for too long, it will affect your <\/span>cooker hood\u2019s<\/span> performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/b> Carbon Filter<\/b><\/h3>\n

The carbon filter absorbs grease and moisture while cooking, removing the bad smells and<\/span> deodorising <\/span>odours in the kitchen. Most of the recirculation type of <\/span>cooker hoods<\/span> are equipped with a carbon filter which must be replaced every four months. *<\/span><\/p>\n

*Please refer to the product manual or check on the best replacement filter and period that is specified by the manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n
