792527 Genuine Aluminium Grease Filter 260 x 320mm for Fisher & Paykel Rangehoods HC60BLX4 HC60PLX4 HC90PLX4 HC90DCXB3

Measuring 260mm x 320mm, genuine Fisher & Paykel aluminium filter 792527 traps grease before it reaches the rangehood fan. It's listed for the HC60BLX4 and HC60PLX4, as well as the HC90PLX4 and HC90DCXB3. A filter that's bent, torn or so clogged it won't clean up any more is worth replacing, as it cuts airflow and lets grease collect inside the hood.

Why a clean grease filter keeps your rangehood working

Aluminium mesh filters catch grease droplets from cooking vapour as the fan pulls air up into the hood. Over time the mesh can become so packed with baked on fat that even soaking won't clear it, and the extraction weakens. You may notice steam hanging over the cooktop, a louder fan working harder for less result, grease dripping from the hood, or cooking smells lingering in the kitchen. Damaged frames that don't sit flush let grease bypass the filter altogether, coating the fan and motor and adding to the fire risk. Fresh filters protect the motor as well as improving extraction.

Swapping and cleaning the filters

Turn the rangehood off before removing filters. Most aluminium filters release by pressing a latch or pulling a tab, then swing down and lift out. Check the old one measures 260mm x 320mm. Clip the new filter in so it sits flush. Washing filters every month or so in hot soapy water, or in the dishwasher if your hood's manual allows it, keeps them working longer.
