Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first remove your old filter housing from the Siemens unit. Measure the dimensions of your existing frames and mark them onto the new filter sheets. Carefully cut the material to size, ensuring you do not compress the 2cm thick material, as this can affect airflow. Place the trimmed filter into the housing frame and snap it back into the cooker hood. For maintenance, monitor your kitchen usage; these filters should typically be replaced every 3-6 months depending on how frequently you cook. If your kitchen begins to smell of stale food despite the fan running, it is a sign that the carbon saturation level has been reached and a new filter installation is required.
