Use warm water to rinse off any soap. Make sure the filters are completely dry before reinstalling them to prevent moisture damage.
How Often Should You Clean the Filters?
The frequency depends on how often you cook. If you cook daily, especially with oils or frying, a monthly cleaning is recommended. For less frequent cooking or more oven use, cleaning every two to three months may be sufficient.
Don’t wait until they look dirty—since filters are installed high up, buildup often goes unnoticed, but it continues to accumulate regardless.
What Happens If You Never Clean Them?
- The fan loses suction power
- Cooking odors linger long after meals
- Fire risk increases
- The extractor motor wears out faster
- Insects like cockroaches or flies may be attracted
Old, hardened grease not only creates unpleasant smells—it can also block ventilation and, in extreme cases, drip onto your cooking area.
