Grease filter hood

Choose a grease filter hood that matches your kitchen size and your cooking needs. For typical layouts, a 60 cm built‑in option fits narrower spaces, while a 90 cm hood suits wider stoves. Decide between grease filters only or a combo with carbon filters to control odors. Make sure it offers multiple speeds (at least 3) and fits your cabinetry and preferred brands (such as beko, franke, or purity).

Focus on the filtration system that suits your cooking. A hood may use grease filters alone or include carbon (charcoal) filters to reduce odors. Carbon filters typically need periodic replacement since they aren’t washable. Check how many filters come with the hood and whether you’ll need to buy replacements separately.

A beginner should start with a smaller, simple model such as a 60 cm hood with straightforward controls and three speeds. A pro or heavy fryer benefits from a larger 90 cm hood with robust filtration, multiple grease filters, and clear odor control, plus features like LED lighting to improve visibility while cooking.

Regularly clean metal grease filters by removing them and washing with warm soapy water, or follow care instructions if dishwasher-safe. Dry filters completely before reinstalling. Charcoal filters are usually not washable and should be replaced per the manufacturer’s guidance to keep odors in check. Always verify filter compatibility with your chosen hood model when replacing parts.

Choose the hood type that matches your space (built‑in vs wall‑mount) and width (60 cm or 90 cm). Plan for proper ducting or recirculation, ensure an appropriate electrical supply for controls and lighting, and leave sufficient clearance from cabinets. Ensure the hood design aligns with your kitchen style, like decorative or classic stainless options, for safe and effective operation.

Yes, look for replacement grease and carbon filters suited to your hood model. Some products include a set of filters (for example, grease and carbon) and you can purchase extra replacements later. When shopping, prefer brands and series that guarantee fit with your chosen grease filter hood to maintain performance and warranty support.
