Smeg Charcoal Filter (Pack Of 2) : FLT6

Product Description

What does the cooker hood charcoal filter do?
When cooking food, as we all know moisture and odours escape into the atmosphere. The charcoal filter is important for removing odours whilst the hood is recirculating air around the kitchen. It does this by absorbing moisture, grease and smoke while you cook. Most cooker hoods have a charcoal filter and a grease filter. The charcoal filter is particularly important if your hood does not have outside venting.

When you need to replace it
The charcoal filter is a consumable part. You ideally need to replace the charcoal filter in your cooker hood every 3 to 12 months, depending on how much you like to cook. Some charcoal filters have a colour change system to indicate when they need to be changed. When the filter becomes clogged it is important to change it as soon as possible because your hood won't function to the best of its ability, as the motor will have to 'labour'. The following are signs that the filter may need replacing:

o    Odours are not being trapped as effectively as before.
o    Smoke is not being extracted efficiently.
o    The filter is filled with dirt and has become saturated

How to replace the cooker hood charcoal filter
1. Remove the grease filters and the cooker hood grid from under the hood. On most hoods they will lift off with ease.
2. Unclip the charcoal filters and discard of them. Cut new filters to size if needed.
3. Re-fit the new filters and put the cooker hood back in place

Instructions may vary depending on the brand and model of your cooker hood. These steps are meant as a general guide.
