How often do I need to replace the charcoal filters in my cooker hood?

It is best to change these every 6 months, but this really depends on how often you use your hob and how much “fatty” food you cook. Inspect regularly and make sure that you have a spare set to hand. If you have your hood ducted out, you do not need charcoal filters.

How often should I clean the metal grease filter in my cooker hood?

These are designed to collect grease, particularly when the cooker hood is ducted to the outside. Again it depends on what type of foods you cook, but they also collect household dust and fluff. We would suggest that you visually inspect regularly as the cooker hood motor may become damaged if the grease filter is left saturated with grease, which could, in extreme circumstances, even lead to a fire hazard. Clean as necessary by hand or in the dishwasher. Dry well before replacing in the cooker hood.
