FAQs
How often should I replace the activated carbon filter?
For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the activated carbon filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on your cooking habits and the frequency of cooker hood use.
Can I wash and reuse the carbon filter?
No, activated carbon filters are designed for single use and cannot be washed or regenerated. They must be replaced once they become saturated with odors and grease.
What is the difference between a carbon filter and a grease filter?
A grease filter (usually mesh) primarily traps airborne grease particles. An activated carbon filter is designed to absorb odors and fumes from the air. Many cooker hoods use both types.
What happens if I don't replace the carbon filter?
If the carbon filter is not replaced, its ability to absorb odors will diminish significantly. This will result in cooking smells lingering in your kitchen for longer periods and a general decrease in air quality.
Are these filters compatible with other brands besides Hotpoint and Indesit?
This particular SPARES2GO filter is designed for specific Hotpoint and Indesit models. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed. Always check the model number compatibility list.
What are the dimensions of the filter?
The approximate dimensions of this filter are 27cm x 24cm.
Troubleshooting
Filter does not fit correctly.
Double-check that your cooker hood model is listed in the compatibility list. Ensure you are inserting the filter in the correct orientation as per the original filter's placement.
Odor reduction is not noticeable after installation.
Ensure the filter is the correct type for your hood (carbon filter for odor, mesh for grease). Verify the filter is properly seated and that the cooker hood is operating at an appropriate speed. If the filter is old, it may need replacement sooner than expected.
Cooker hood is making unusual noises after filter replacement.
Ensure the filter is securely installed and not obstructing any fan components. If the noise persists, remove the filter and test the hood. If the noise stops, re-install carefully or contact support.
