112.0316.697 Genuine Charcoal Filter Set of 2 for Smeg Rangehoods, Recirculating Carbon Odour Filters for Smeg Range Hoods

Smeg part 112.0316.697 is a genuine set of two charcoal filters for Smeg rangehoods running in recirculating mode. When a hood isn't ducted outside, the charcoal filters trap cooking odours before the air is returned to the kitchen. They're consumables and lose their effect over time, so a fresh pair makes a noticeable difference. Smeg uses many filter shapes, so match the number before ordering.

How often to replace Smeg rangehood charcoal filters

Charcoal, or activated carbon, filters work by absorbing odour molecules into the pores of the carbon. Once those pores are full the filter stops working, and smells from frying, fish or curries hang around the kitchen even with the fan on high. Grease speeds this up, which is why the metal grease filters in front should be kept clean. Most charcoal filters can't be washed and need replacing on a regular schedule, commonly every few months depending on how much you cook. Your Smeg manual gives the recommended interval for your hood.

Changing the charcoal filters

Switch the rangehood off at the wall before you start. Take out the metal grease filters to expose the charcoal filters, then twist or unclip the old ones depending on the hood design. Fit the new pair the same way and refit the grease filters. If your hood has a filter reminder, reset it as the manual describes.
