Ventilation maintenance is required in order to keep your range hood running properly and efficiently. One important cleaning tip is to make sure that your grease filters are cleaned frequently, especially if your range hood is used often. Over time grease and other impurities tend to stick to the bottom of your filters. If you do not clean these filters, especially after heavy use, your filters will not be as effective. Below are some tips on how to keep your home safe and your filters cleaned correctly.
Removing Your Filter
Faber has a variety of wonderful styles to choose from and most of these models have grease filters conveniently located on the underside of the hood. Twelve of our models are designed with a front panel for our perimeter aspiration feature. If you have one of these models simply pull down the perimeter aspiration panel in order to access the grease filters. Once you have accessed the filters, grab a hold of the pull tab and the filters should slide right out.
How Often Should You Clean Your Grease Filters?
Your grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months of operation or more frequently for particular heavy usage. Your filters can be washed by soaking in warm water and dish detergent or simply by placing them in the dishwasher. When working with your filters please make sure not to bend or fold as this could cause damage. After cleaning, please make sure filters are completely dry and all water and/or liquids are completely gone before re-installing.
If you are planning on cleaning the outside of your range hood at the same time as your filters, please remember that only stainless steel cleaner should be used on stainless steel range hoods. Abrasives and scouring agents can scratch stainless steel finishes and should not be used to clean a finished surface.
We hope these tips will help with the efficiency and longevity of your hood.
