Product Information
Full details
The Universal Cooker Hood Grease Filter Paper is an essential maintenance solution for homeowners looking to prolong the lifespan of their kitchen extractor systems. It is designed for anyone managing a standard cooker hood who needs a cost-effective way to trap grease particles and prevent internal motor buildup. While these filters provide excellent protection against grease, they are disposable and require regular monitoring to ensure they do not become oversaturated, which could restrict airflow.

FAQs
Can I wash and reuse these filters?
No, these are single-use disposable filters designed to be discarded once they have reached their grease-trapping capacity.
Will these filters work in a recirculating hood?
These are primarily grease filters. If your hood is in recirculating mode, you may still need a separate charcoal filter for odor removal.
How do I know when to change the filter?
Inspect the filter monthly. If it feels excessively oily, looks discolored, or you notice the fan struggling, it is time for a replacement.
Is this paper heat resistant?
While designed for kitchen use, ensure the filter is installed securely within the hood and not touching heating elements or open flames.
Can I use multiple layers to catch more grease?
Using multiple layers is not recommended as it will severely restrict the airflow and put unnecessary strain on your cooker hood's motor.
Troubleshooting
Reduced airflow from the hood
The filter paper is likely saturated with grease; replace it with a fresh sheet to restore ventilation.
Filter paper keeps falling off
Ensure the filter is properly secured by the existing metal mesh clips and that no loose edges are obstructing the airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the filter, first remove your cooker hood's outer metal mesh grill. Place the old filter on top of the new grease paper to act as a template, then trim the paper to fit the dimensions of your mesh frame. Secure the paper within the housing. Compatibility is broad, covering most residential extractor vents, though it is not intended for non-venting or recirculating units that rely on charcoal filters. For maintenance, check the paper every two to four weeks depending on your cooking frequency. If the paper appears dark, sticky, or heavy, dispose of it immediately and install a fresh sheet to avoid overheating your fan motor.
