Frequently asked questions about Elica grease filters
How often should I clean the grease filter?
Monthly based on usage. For intense use or with a lot of high temperature frying, check the filter every 2/3 weeks.
Can I wash the grease filter in the dishwasher?
In general yes, but always check the instructions in your product manual. The aluminum and stainless steel filters can be washed in the dishwasher at low temperatures. Some hoods may have specific indications.
When should I replace the grease filter?
When it is deformed, it has structural damage such as broken or dented layers, or it does not recover its original condition after multiple washes. A damaged filter does not properly protect the product's motor.
What is the difference between grease filter and odor filter?
The grease filter retains grease particles and protects the engine: it is always needed, in any mode. The odor filter captures odorous particles and is only useful if the product works in filtering mode, without air exiting to the outside. They are two separate components.
