FAQs
How often should I replace these filters?
For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the carbon filters every 1-3 months and the grease filters every 3-6 months. This frequency depends on how often and intensely you use your cooker hood.
Can I wash and reuse the filters?
No, these filters are designed for single use and should not be washed. Washing can degrade their material and significantly reduce their effectiveness in trapping grease and odors.
What does 'Cut to Size' mean?
It means the filters come in a larger size (57cm x 47cm x 2cm) and you need to trim them down using scissors or a knife to match the exact dimensions required by your specific cooker hood model.
Are these filters compatible with brands other than Hygena?
While designed for Hygena, their universal nature and cut-to-size capability may allow them to fit other cooker hoods. However, it's crucial to measure your existing filters to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
What is the difference between carbon and grease filters?
Grease filters primarily capture airborne oil and fat particles from cooking. Carbon filters contain activated carbon, which is porous and highly effective at absorbing and neutralizing odors and smoke.
How do I cut the filters accurately?
Measure the space inside your cooker hood where the filter should go. Use these dimensions to mark the filter material and cut carefully with sharp scissors or a craft knife for a clean edge and precise fit.
Troubleshooting
Filters do not fit correctly after cutting.
Double-check your measurements and ensure the cuts are straight and precise. Trimming a little more is better than cutting too much. Ensure you are using the correct filter slot if your hood has separate ones for grease and carbon.
Cooker hood still smells strongly after filter installation.
Ensure the carbon filters are correctly positioned and making good contact. Check if the filters are overdue for replacement or if the cooker hood's extraction power is insufficient for the cooking activity. Make sure all seals around the filters are intact to prevent air bypass.
Reduced airflow from the cooker hood.
Verify that the filters are not too thick for the designated slots or that they have been cut too large, obstructing airflow. Ensure the filters are seated correctly and not bunched up. Consider if the cooker hood motor itself may need servicing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Measure: Carefully measure the internal space for your cooker hood filters.
Cut: Using sharp scissors or a craft knife, carefully cut the carbon and grease filters to the measured dimensions. Ensure a snug fit without excessive force.
Install: Place the cut filters into their designated slots within your Hygena cooker hood. Ensure they sit flat and securely.
Compatibility:
This kit is specifically designed as a replacement for Hygena cooker hood vent extractors.
The universal fitting and cut-to-size nature makes it adaptable to many models, but always verify your original filter dimensions (57cm x 47cm x 2cm max before cutting).
Care:
Regular Replacement: For optimal performance, carbon filters should be replaced every 1-3 months, and grease filters every 3-6 months, depending on cooking frequency and intensity. Clogged filters reduce airflow and filtration efficiency.
Do Not Wash: Carbon and grease filters are typically disposable and should not be washed. Washing can damage their structure and reduce their effectiveness.
Storage: Store unused filters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
