Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Commercial Canopy Grease Baffle Filter is an essential component for professional kitchens, designed for chefs and facility managers who need to maintain rigorous safety standards and efficient airflow. Its high-performance baffle design excels at trapping grease and particulates to prevent duct buildup and fire hazards; however, operators must ensure the 495x495x48mm dimensions match their existing hood housing perfectly to prevent air leakage.

FAQs
How often should I clean these filters?
Depending on your cooking volume, we recommend a daily cleaning schedule to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.
Can I use caustic chemicals to clean them?
Avoid highly caustic cleaners as they can corrode the stainless steel finish. Stick to approved commercial degreasers and dishwasher cycles.
What happens if I use a filter that is too small?
Air will bypass the filter entirely, meaning grease will coat your ductwork and motors, significantly increasing fire risk.
Is the 495x495x48mm measurement exact?
Yes, these are the standard external dimensions. Ensure your housing accommodates these precise measurements.
Do these filters ever need replacing?
While highly durable, you should replace them if you notice structural damage, permanent warping, or deep corrosion that cleaning cannot resolve.
Why is it important to have the baffles in a specific orientation?
The vertical orientation is necessary for gravity-assisted grease drainage. If installed horizontally, grease will pool in the vanes.
Troubleshooting
Reduced airflow or suction
The filter is likely saturated with grease. Remove and wash the filter thoroughly to clear the baffles.
Grease dripping into the kitchen
Check that the filter is installed at the correct angle to allow for drainage and verify the hood's grease tray is empty.
Filter rattles when extraction is on
Check the filter locking clips or frame to ensure the unit is seated properly and is not warped.
Pros and Cons

- High durability and corrosion resistance
- Easy to clean in standard commercial dishwashers
- Standard size fits most major canopy brands
Cons
- Strict size requirement (495x495x48mm)
- Requires regular cleaning schedule for optimal efficacy
- Heavy-duty metal construction may be cumbersome for some staff
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the filter is oriented so the baffle blades are vertical. This allows the grease to drain via gravity into your hood's grease cup. Slide the filter into the filter tracks of your canopy until it clicks or sits firmly in place.
Compatibility: This model is specifically sized at 495x495x48mm. Before purchasing, use a measuring tape to verify the interior dimensions of your existing filter housing. A gap larger than 5mm on any side can result in air bypassing the filter, which will cause grease to enter your ducting.
Care: Do not use harsh industrial acids or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the metal finish. Place the filters in a commercial dishwasher at high temperatures to ensure the grease is fully emulsified. Allow the filters to dry completely before re-inserting them into the hood.
