1300100193 Genuine Aluminium Grease Filter for Glen Dimplex Group Rangehoods, Washable Metal Rangehood Filter Replacement

Part 1300100193 is a genuine aluminium grease filter for rangehoods from the Glen Dimplex group, the company behind brands such as Technika, Baumatic and Linea Venini. Not every hood in those ranges uses this size. The filter sits in the underside of the hood and traps grease before it can reach the fan. Measure your old filter or check 1300100193 in your parts list before ordering.

Rangehood not clearing smoke or dripping grease?

The aluminium mesh layers catch grease droplets carried up in cooking steam, keeping the motor, fan and ductwork clean. Regular washing keeps it working, but filters don't last forever. A filter that's dented, has a split mesh layer or a broken catch won't seal in its frame, and one that's been left too long can stay clogged no matter how often it's washed. Signs include poor extraction, a fan that sounds strained, grease dripping from the hood and a sticky residue on nearby cabinets.

Swapping the grease filter

Turn the rangehood off and let the lights cool. Release the catch on the old filter and lower it out, keeping a hand under it so it doesn't land on the cooktop. Wipe the filter frame while it's open. Slide the back edge of the new filter in first, then push it up until the catch clicks into place.

Questions about this part

How often should an aluminium grease filter be cleaned?

With regular cooking, washing it in hot soapy water every few weeks to a couple of months keeps airflow up. Heavy frying calls for more frequent cleaning. Check your rangehood manual before using the dishwasher, as strong detergent can dull aluminium.
