Kitchen filters trap grease from cooking fumes before they reach the extract fan and ducts.
Measure your hood frame for the right size. Clean them often.
What are kitchen filters?
Kitchen extraction captures heat, smoke, steam and grease at the cooker. A hood or chimney collects the fumes, grease filters trap grease droplets, and an extract fan pulls the air out through ducts.
Clean filters keep airflow high and reduce fire risk in ducts. Therefore, filters should be cleaned often in commercial kitchens.
