Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Safety First: Ensure the cooker hood is turned off and unplugged at the power source before starting.
- Access Filters: Locate and remove the existing filters from your Diplomat cooker hood. This usually involves releasing latches or sliding them out.
- Trim to Size: If necessary, carefully measure and cut the new carbon and grease filters to match the dimensions of your old filters or the filter housing. Use sharp scissors or a utility knife for a clean cut.
- Install New Filters: Insert the newly cut carbon and grease filters into their designated slots within the cooker hood.
- Secure: Reattach any covers or latches. Plug the cooker hood back in and test its operation.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed as a compatible replacement for Diplomat cooker hood vent extractors. The dimensions (57cm x 47cm x 2cm) and the cut-to-size nature make it suitable for a range of models. Always refer to your cooker hood's manual to confirm filter type and size requirements.
Care & Maintenance:
- Regular Replacement: Carbon filters typically need replacement every 3-6 months, depending on cooking habits. Grease filters should be checked monthly and replaced when visibly dirty or clogged, usually every 1-3 months.
- Do Not Wash: Carbon filters are generally not washable and must be replaced. Foam grease filters can sometimes be washed, but for optimal performance and hygiene, replacement is recommended.
- Storage: Store unused filters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
