Clean the range-hood filter
Remove grease buildup so the hood can move air effectively.
Why it matters
Grease on filters reduces ventilation and can become a fire hazard.
Steps
- Turn the hood off and allow cooking surfaces to cool.
- Remove the filter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Wash a reusable metal filter with hot water and degreaser.
- Dry completely before reinstalling; replace disposable filters as directed.
How often should I clean the range-hood filter?
