FAQs

How often should I replace the EFF57 carbon filter?

It is generally recommended to replace the carbon filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you cook and the types of food you prepare. Heavily soiled filters should be replaced sooner.

Can I wash and reuse the carbon filter?

No, carbon charcoal filters are not designed to be washed or reused. They are disposable and need to be replaced once they become saturated with grease and odors.

What does a carbon filter do in a cooker hood?

A carbon filter absorbs and neutralizes airborne grease and cooking odors that are not removed by the primary grease filter in recirculating cooker hoods.

How do I know if my cooker hood needs a new carbon filter?

Signs include a persistent cooking odor in the kitchen after cooking, or if the filter looks visibly clogged with grease. If your hood's performance seems to decrease, it might also indicate a need for replacement.

Are there different types of cooker hood filters?

Yes, there are primarily two types: grease filters (often metal mesh) that capture larger grease particles, and carbon filters (like the EFF57) that absorb odors and finer grease in recirculating systems.

My Zanussi model isn't listed, will this filter still work?

It is best to only use the filter with the specifically listed compatible Zanussi models. While dimensions might seem similar, internal fittings or airflow design may vary, potentially affecting performance or fit.

Troubleshooting

Filter not fitting correctly

Double-check that your cooker hood model is listed as compatible and that the filter dimensions (230mm x 20mm) match the requirement. Ensure no part of the old filter remains.

No noticeable reduction in odors

The filter may be saturated and require replacement. Ensure the filter is correctly installed and that no air is bypassing it. Check if the cooker hood is set to the correct setting (recirculation mode).

Cooker hood performance seems reduced

Ensure the filter is not blocked. If the filter is new, check that it has been installed correctly and is not obstructing airflow. If the issue persists, it may be related to the cooker hood's motor or fan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Before purchasing, verify that your Zanussi cooker hood model is listed in the product description. Common compatible models include the Zanussi ZHC series (e.g., ZHC604N, ZHC914X) and ZHI/ZHT series (e.g., ZHI6005/GB, ZHT610N). The filter dimensions are 230mm x 20mm.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the cooker hood is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
  2. Locate the existing filter, usually found above the cooking surface, often behind a removable metal mesh.
  3. Carefully remove the old carbon filter. It may simply unclip or twist into place.
  4. Insert the new Spares2go EFF57 filter, ensuring it is securely fitted.
  5. Replace any removed covers or mesh.
  6. Plug the cooker hood back in and test its operation.

Care:

Carbon charcoal filters are designed for single use and cannot be washed or cleaned. They must be replaced periodically. The lifespan varies based on cooking habits, but a general guideline is every 3 to 6 months. Check the filter regularly for signs of saturation or damage.
