792459 Genuine Metal Grease Filter 60 for Fisher & Paykel 60cm Rangehoods, F&P Kitchen Rangehood Filter Replacement

This is the genuine Fisher & Paykel 792459 metal grease filter, listed by F&P in the 60 size, which lines up with their 60cm rangehoods. It sits in the underside of the hood and catches grease before it reaches the fan. No model list is on file for 792459, so compare it with the number on your old filter, or the rating label inside the hood, before you buy.

What a rangehood grease filter does and when to replace it

Every time you cook, the fan pulls steam and grease-laden air up through the filter. The metal layers trap fat droplets so they don't coat the fan, motor and ducting. Over time a filter can get bent, lose its catch or become so clogged that cleaning no longer brings it back. Signs it's due for replacement include weak extraction, a louder fan, grease dripping back onto the cooktop and cooking smells hanging around the kitchen. Metal filters are made to be washed, but a damaged one should be swapped.

Changing the rangehood filter

Turn the rangehood off and let it cool if you've just been cooking. Release the catch and lower the old filter out, supporting it so it doesn't drop onto the cooktop. Check the size and shape match, then push the new 792459 filter into place until the catch locks. Run the fan briefly to make sure nothing rattles.

Questions about this part

How often should I clean a metal grease filter?

It depends on how much you cook. Many households wash metal filters every month or two in warm soapy water, or in the dishwasher if the filter's care instructions allow it. Replace the filter once it's bent, damaged or no longer comes clean.
