FAQs
How often should I clean this metal grease filter?
It is recommended to clean the filter every 1-3 months, depending on how frequently you cook and the types of cooking you do. Heavily greasy cooking will require more frequent cleaning.
Can I wash this filter in a dishwasher?
Yes, this metal grease filter is generally dishwasher safe. However, it's always best to consult your specific cooker hood's manual for any manufacturer recommendations regarding dishwasher cleaning.
What does 'Universal' compatibility mean for this filter?
Universal compatibility means the filter is designed to fit a wide variety of cooker hood models from numerous brands, provided the dimensions and fixing tab specifications match your appliance.
How do I know if this filter will fit my specific cooker hood model?
You must compare the filter's dimensions (159mm x 508mm) and the precise spacing of its fixing tabs (top and bottom) with your current filter or your cooker hood's specifications.
What is the MPN for this filter?
The manufacturer part number (MPN) for this Ufixt filter is 14-CH-217.
What material is the filter made of?
This is a metal grease filter, designed for durability and effective grease capture.
Does this filter capture carbon/odours?
This is a grease filter designed to trap grease particles. For odour filtration, a separate carbon filter is typically required for recirculating cooker hoods.
Troubleshooting
Filter does not fit securely
Double-check the filter dimensions (159mm x 508mm) and the tab spacing against your cooker hood's requirements. Ensure the correct side (top/bottom) is facing the correct way.
Filter is difficult to remove or install
Ensure the cooker hood is powered off. Check for any obstructions or bent tabs. Refer to your cooker hood's manual for specific release mechanisms.
Reduced airflow after installation
Confirm the filter is installed correctly and not upside down. Ensure the filter is clean; a new filter should improve, not restrict, airflow if correctly fitted.
