FAQs

How often should I replace this carbon filter?

The replacement frequency depends on your cooking habits. For heavy use (frequent frying, high-heat cooking), replace every 3 months. For normal use, every 6 months. For light use, every 9 months is recommended.

Can I wash and reuse the carbon filter?

No, carbon filters are designed for single use and cannot be washed or cleaned. They become saturated with odors and grease over time and must be replaced to maintain effectiveness.

What does 'Elica Type 160' mean?

'Elica Type 160' refers to a specific standard size and design for carbon filters commonly used in certain cooker hood models, particularly those manufactured by Elica or compatible brands.

Will this filter fit any cooker hood?

No, this filter is specifically designed to replace the Elica Type 160 carbon filter and fits particular models from brands like Whirlpool, Hotpoint, and Creda. Always check your cooker hood's manual or the existing filter type before purchasing.

What are the dimensions of this filter?

The dimensions are approximately 290mm in length, 230mm in width, and 37mm in depth.

What is the primary function of a carbon filter in a cooker hood?

The primary function is to absorb and trap airborne grease particles and cooking odors, preventing them from circulating back into your kitchen or being expelled outside, thus keeping the air fresh.

Where can I find the model number of my cooker hood?

The model number is typically found on a sticker inside the cooker hood unit, often on the frame behind the main filter or on the casing. It can also be found in your appliance's user manual.

Troubleshooting

Cooker hood has reduced airflow after filter replacement.

Ensure the new carbon filter is correctly seated and not obstructing airflow. Double-check that no packaging material remains inside the cooker hood. Ensure the carbon filter is the correct size and type for your model.

Odors are still present after installing the new filter.

Verify that the filter is the correct Elica Type 160 replacement and is installed properly. Check if the cooker hood's fan is operating at an adequate speed. Consider if the filter has been in place for longer than recommended; it may be due for replacement again.

Filter does not fit correctly.

Confirm that your cooker hood model is listed as compatible and that you are attempting to install the correct Elica Type 160 filter. Ensure no part of the cooker hood or old filter is preventing proper installation.
