How many filters are included in this pack?

This pack contains two metal grease filters.

Can I wash these filters in the dishwasher?

Yes, these metal grease filters are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.

How often should I clean or replace the filter?

It is recommended to clean the filters regularly, typically every 1-3 months, depending on your cooking frequency and intensity. Replace filters when they show signs of significant wear or damage that cleaning cannot resolve.

Will this filter fit any cooker hood?

No, this filter is not universal. It is designed for specific models that require filters with dimensions of 298mm x 239mm to fit a 300mm x 240mm cavity. Please verify your measurements before purchasing.

What is the blue strip on the filter?

The blue strip is a protective film applied during manufacturing and transit to prevent scratches on the filter's surface. It should be removed before installing and using the filter.

What material is the filter made of?

Troubleshooting

Filter does not fit properly

Double-check the measurements of your cooker hood cavity and compare them precisely with the filter dimensions (298mm x 239mm) and cavity size (300mm x 240mm). Ensure no obstructions are in the way and that you are attempting to install it in the correct orientation.

Reduced airflow after installation

Ensure the protective blue strips have been completely removed from the filter. Also, check that the filter is correctly seated and not partially blocked. If the issue persists, the filter may need cleaning or may be incompatible.

Filter remains greasy after cleaning

For stubborn grease, try using a degreasing dish soap in the dishwasher or during handwashing. For very heavy build-up, a second wash cycle may be necessary.

Filter looks scratched upon arrival

This is likely due to the protective blue transit strips. Ensure these strips are fully peeled off. The underlying metal should be undamaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Before purchasing, it is crucial to measure your existing filter or the cavity it fits into. These filters measure 298mm x 239mm and are designed for a 300mm x 240mm cavity. They are not a universal fit and will only work with specific cooker hood models requiring these dimensions. Always compare the product images and dimensions with your current filter.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the cooker hood is turned off and unplugged from the power source for safety.
  2. Locate the existing grease filter(s) in your cooker hood. Typically, they are held in place by clips or a latch.
  3. Carefully remove the old filter(s).
  4. Remove any protective blue strips from the new SPARES2GO filter.
  5. Insert the new filter into the designated slot, ensuring it is securely seated.
  6. Repeat for the second filter if applicable.
  7. Reconnect the power and test the extractor fan.

Care:

  • These filters are dishwasher safe. Place them in the dishwasher for thorough cleaning.
  • For minor cleaning or between dishwasher cycles, you can wash them by hand in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Allow the filters to dry completely before re-installing them in the cooker hood.
  • It is recommended to clean the filters regularly, at least once a month, or more frequently if you do a lot of high-grease cooking, to maintain optimal performance and airflow.
