If you own an Elica range hood, you know the importance of keeping it clean and functioning properly. One essential component of the range hood is the active carbon filter, which helps eliminate odors and purify the air in your kitchen. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the active carbon filters are necessary to ensure efficient performance. In this blog post, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of cleaning and maintaining active carbon filters of your Elica range hood.

What You Will Need:

  • A pair of gloves
  • A soft brush or a sponge
  • Mild dish soap
  • Warm water
  • Access to a sink or basin
  • Drying rack or clean, dry towel

Step 1: Safety First

Before you begin cleaning the active carbon filters, make sure to turn off the range hood and unplug it from the power source. This prevents any accidents and ensures your safety throughout the process.

Step 2: Removing the Filters

Check the manufacturer’s instructions to locate the active carbon filters in your Elica range hood. Once you have identified them, gently remove the filters by carefully pulling them out from their designated slots. Be cautious not to damage or bend the filters during this process.

Step 3: Cleaning the Filters

Fill your sink or basin with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap. Submerge the active carbon filters in the soapy water and let them soak for a few minutes. This will help loosen and remove any grease or dirt buildup. Then, using a soft brush or sponge, gently scrub the filters to remove any remaining residue. Pay close attention to the corners and crevices to ensure a thorough cleaning. Rinse the filters under running water to remove any soap residue.

Step 4: Drying and Reinstalling the Filters

Place the cleaned active carbon filters on a drying rack or a clean, dry towel. Let them air-dry completely before reinstalling them back into the range hood. Avoid using any heat sources to accelerate the drying process, as it may damage the filters. Once the filters are dry, carefully insert them back into their designated slots in the range hood. Ensure they are securely in place before proceeding.

Step 5: Regular Maintenance

To maintain the efficiency of your Elica range hood’s active carbon filters, it is recommended to clean them at least once every three months or as needed. Regularly inspect the filters for signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage or significant deterioration, consider replacing the filters to ensure optimal performance.

By following these steps and implementing regular maintenance, you can extend the lifespan of your Elica range hood’s active carbon filters and enjoy a fresh and odor-free kitchen environment. Remember, a clean filter means better air quality while cooking, so make it a priority in your kitchen maintenance routine.
