Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check:
Before purchasing, carefully measure your existing filter. The Ufixt Universal Cooker Hood Metal Grease Filter measures 275mm x 310mm. Pay close attention to the fixing tab dimensions: the top tabs have a 7mm size with a 45mm gap between them, while the bottom tabs are 14mm with a 135mm gap. Verify these measurements against your cooker hood's specifications to ensure a correct fit. These filters are designed to be compatible with many brands like AEG, Ariston, Bosch, Beko, Candy, Indesit, Whirlpool, and Zanussi, as well as numerous universal models.
Installation:
- Turn off and unplug your cooker hood for safety.
- Locate the existing filter(s) within your cooker hood.
- Release the old filter, usually by pressing a latch or tab.
- Insert the new Ufixt filter, ensuring the fixing tabs engage securely.
- Replace any covers or grilles.
- Plug in and turn on the cooker hood to test functionality.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: These metal filters are washable. Hand wash with hot, soapy water or place them in a dishwasher. For dishwasher cleaning, use a standard dishwashing cycle. For hand washing, use a soft brush to gently remove stubborn grease.
- Drying: Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting it into the cooker hood to prevent moisture issues.
- Frequency: Clean the filters regularly, ideally every 2-4 weeks, depending on how often you cook.
