How often should you clean your cooker hood grease filter?

Clean your cooker hood’s grease filter every 2 months. If you fry or deep-fry daily, do it every month.

A saturated grease filter extracts less well and increases the fire risk with hot oil. Wash the metal filter by hand in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Let it dry well before putting it back.

1. Remove the metal grease filter from the hood
2. Wash it by hand in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher
3. Let it dry well before putting it back
4. Wipe the inside of the hood clean

15 to 25 minutes.

• washing-up liquid or dishwasher
