How do i replace the carbon filter for my hood

The instructions for cleaning and replacing the carbon filter are in the user manual.

Replacing the carbon filter in your IKEA hood is an important step to ensure optimal performance and effective removal of cooking fumes, grease, and food odors. Here are the steps you can follow:

  1. Consult the User Manual: The instructions for cleaning and replacing the carbon filter are provided in the user manual of your hood. Make sure to refer to this manual for specific details.

  2. Identify the Correct Carbon Filter Type: Check the installation manual for your hood to find the correct type of carbon filter suitable for your model. Different hoods may require different filters.

  3. Replace the Carbon Filter: Remove the old carbon filter by loosening the screws. Place the new carbon filter in the same location where the old one was attached and tighten the screws. Remember to remove the grease filters before replacing the carbon filter.

  4. Check Availability: If your hood or the carbon filter is no longer sold by IKEA, feel free to contact them for more information. If you have an older model hood and need to purchase the correct filter, you can use PIA Facts to determine the filter you need based on the hood’s article number.

  5. Filter No Longer Available?: If the carbon filter is no longer available from IKEA, check ASAP under ‘Kitchen Components’ for the list of ‘2 Charcoal filter.’ Here, you’ll find the Whirlpool part numbers for many old filters. Direct the customer to Whirlpool with this part number.

Summary: Follow your hood’s manual and use the correct carbon filter for optimal performance. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to IKEA. 🌟
