6. Rinse and dry thoroughly
Use warm water to rinse off any soap. Make sure the filters are completely dry before reinstalling them to prevent moisture damage.
How Often Should You Clean the Filters?
The frequency depends on how often you cook. If you cook daily, especially with oils or frying, a monthly cleaning is recommended. For less frequent cooking or more oven use, cleaning every two to three months may be sufficient.
Don’t wait until they look dirty—since filters are installed high up, buildup often goes unnoticed, but it continues to accumulate regardless.

Cooking odors linger long after meals
Fire risk increases
The extractor motor wears out faster
Insects like cockroaches or flies may be attracted
