Rangehoods are one of the most important appliances in your kitchen. They protect your kitchen finishings, keep the air in your home clean, and make your cooking experience more comfortable.
Why it’s important
Your range hood works hard to soak up grease and odours from cooking. It keeps your air clean by removing airborne grease, and it helps reduce excess heat, steam, and smoke while you cook. For optimal performance, clean the mesh filters every few weeks or months, depending on how often you cook.
Step 1: Safety first
Before you start, make sure the rangehood is switched off. Safety first!
Step 2: Remove the filter
Locate the filter underneath the rangehood. Most filters can be easily removed by sliding or pushing the latch. If it’s stuck, give it a gentle nudge.
Step 3: Soak the filter
Fill your sink or a large basin with hot water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Let the filter soak for 10-15 minutes to loosen the grease and grime.
Step 4: Scrub the filter
After soaking, gently scrub the filter with a soft brush or sponge, focusing on areas with built-up grease.
Step 5: Rinse and dry
Rinse the filter thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. Shake off the excess water and let it air dry completely.
Step 6: Reinstall the filter
Once the filter is dry, slide it back into place under the rangehood, making sure it’s securely fastened.
And that’s it! Your rangehood filter is clean and ready to keep your kitchen air fresh. Regular cleaning not only ensures optimal performance but also extends the life of your rangehood. If you have any other maintenance needs or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact your property manager.
