FAQs

How often should I replace the carbon filters?

Carbon filters should typically be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you cook and the intensity of cooking odors in your kitchen.

Can the foam grease filters be washed?

While some foam filters can be washed, for optimal performance and to ensure all grease and particles are effectively captured, it is recommended to replace them when they become visibly dirty or clogged, usually every 1-3 months.

Are these filters suitable for all Diplomat cooker hoods?

This kit is designed as a compatible replacement for Diplomat cooker hoods. The dimensions (57cm x 47cm x 2cm) and the cut-to-size feature offer versatility, but it's always best to check your specific model's requirements.

What is the main difference between carbon and grease filters?

Carbon filters are primarily designed to absorb and neutralize odors. Grease filters are made to capture airborne grease particles produced during cooking.

Do I need to cut the filters to size?

Yes, the filters are provided in larger dimensions (57cm x 47cm x 2cm) and are designed to be cut to the specific size required for your Diplomat cooker hood model.

What happens if I don't replace the filters regularly?

Not replacing filters regularly can lead to reduced effectiveness in odor and grease removal, decreased airflow, potential strain on the cooker hood motor, and a buildup of grease and debris within the appliance.

Where should I store the spare filters?

Store unused filters in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their effectiveness until you need to use them.

Troubleshooting

Cooker hood still smells after filter replacement

Ensure the carbon filter is correctly installed and has not reached its saturation point. Consider replacing it again if it's older than 3-6 months. Check that all cooker hood vents are clear and unobstructed.

Reduced airflow from cooker hood

Verify that the filters are not blocked or clogged with grease. Ensure they have been cut to the correct size and are not obstructing airflow. Clean the fan blades if accessible and safe to do so.

Filters do not fit correctly

Double-check the measurements and ensure the filters have been cut precisely to size. Make sure you are using the correct filter type for your specific Diplomat model, referring to your cooker hood's manual.

Grease is still visible around the hood

The foam grease filters may need more frequent replacement or cleaning if they are washable. Ensure the cooker hood is being used on an appropriate setting for the type of cooking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Safety First: Ensure the cooker hood is turned off and unplugged at the power source before starting.
  2. Access Filters: Locate and remove the existing filters from your Diplomat cooker hood. This usually involves releasing latches or sliding them out.
  3. 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.
  4. Install New Filters: Insert the newly cut carbon and grease filters into their designated slots within the cooker hood.
  5. 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.
