How Do I Clean The Filters?

General Cleaning

Determine if your range hood uses baffle filters or mesh filters. (For replacement charcoal filter options, please visit this page.)

Most filters can be placed in the dishwasher at low heat or short cycle using a non-phosphate detergent. Be sure there are no other items in the dishwasher, the filter can catch food residue. Please note: Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions – but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

Filters can also be washed by hand with warm water and a non-phosphate degreasing detergent such as Dawn. Soak the filter for 1 to 2 hours and rinse with water. Allow filter to completely air dry before re-installing the filter and using the range hood.

Filters that are not cleaned regularly and have grease build up may require replacement.

You can order filters from our Parts & Accessory Store.

Mesh Filter Clean Reminder

Specific Zephyr range hood models (such as units featuring ICON Touch® Controls) have a clean filter reminder that is always enabled. These clean filter reminders can be notifications reminding you to replace charcoal filters or An example of a Zephyr range hood with this clean filter is the Siena Wall Range Hood.

  • After 60 hours of fan usage, the LCD will scroll through text (only when the hood is powered on) and the FAN- button will slowly blink, indicating it is time to clean the Siena Wall’s grease filters. If the hood is not powered on, only the FAN- button will slowly blink. With the hood off, pressing the FAN- button will display the instructions to reset the grease filter reminder for a few seconds before reverting back to the scrolling text. Press and hold the FAN- button while the entire hood is powered off to reset the grease filter reminder.

Please consult your range hood's manual to determine whether or not it has a clean filter reminder and specifics on how to use it. 

Please consult your range hood's user manual for specifics on what type of filters are compatible with your unit as well as recommendations on how to clean your range hood filters.
