Range-hood filters: wash the metal mesh, replace the charcoal when required

Metal grease filters may be handwashed or dishwasher-cleaned if the model permits. Standard charcoal odor filters are generally replaced rather than washed. Identify the filter before cleaning.

Bosch recommends soaking metal mesh grease filters in warm soapy water, cleaning them gently and drying them fully before refitting. Dishwasher compatibility is model-specific, while non-regenerable charcoal filters require replacement. Grease accumulation is a fire concern.

0 / 6 done

Turn off the range hood and ensure power is disconnected or isolated. Let the appliance and filters cool completely.
Consult the manual to distinguish the metal grease filter from a charcoal odor filter, and locate the correct release catches.
Support a removable metal filter from below, release it carefully and keep it level so grease does not drip onto the hob.
If approved, soak metal filters in warm water with mild dish detergent, brush softly and rinse. Use the dishwasher only for compatible filters, placed loosely with ample space.
Air-dry the filter fully. Clean nearby surfaces carefully without wetting electronics. Replace any charcoal filter that the manual says is nonwashable.
Refit each filter in the specified direction and confirm that it latches securely. Ask for service or replacement if filters are warped, damaged or heavily clogged.
