Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your cooker hood is switched off and unplugged for safety.
- Locate the existing filter within your cooker hood. This is typically found above the cooking surface, behind a metal mesh grease filter.
- Remove the old carbon filter. It may twist or slide out of place.
- Insert the new Spares2go carbon filter, ensuring it is securely fitted.
- Replace the metal mesh grease filter if applicable.
- Plug in and switch on your cooker hood.

- It also fits other models requiring the Elica 160 type, potentially including those from Siemens and Bosch (check specific model numbers if unsure).
Care:
Carbon filters are designed for single use and cannot be washed or cleaned. They must be replaced periodically. Do not attempt to reuse an old or saturated filter, as this will significantly reduce performance and can lead to reduced airflow. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
