The one thing to remember with a cooker hood is, you need maintain the efficiency of the hood so it can give you years of uninterrupted service. To do this you need to check the filters are free and clean of grease and debris.

Grease Filter

Your hood may be of the recirculating type or evacuation type so will be fitted with different types of grease filters but mainly they will absorb grease and dust particles and the most commonly used grease filters are those made from metal, disposable paper or active carbon.

Metal grease filters are typically long-life filters and consist of layers or lattice like. The deeper the layers can have an effect on the extraction process and so lessen the efficiency of the cooker hood. For this reason it is important that the correct type of grease filter be fitted.
