ACK62836 Genuine Round Charcoal Filter for Blanco Rangehoods, Single Carbon Filter for Recirculating Blanco Rangehoods

ACK62836 is a genuine Blanco circular charcoal filter for Blanco rangehoods set up to recirculate, and it's sold as a single filter. Charcoal filters sit behind the grease filters and absorb cooking odours before the air is returned to the kitchen. Many recirculating hoods take two round filters, one on each side of the motor, so check how many your hood uses and order the right quantity.

How often to change a Blanco rangehood charcoal filter

Unlike the metal grease filters, charcoal filters can't be washed back to life. The charcoal inside traps odours until it's saturated, and then cooking smells simply pass straight through. A hood that no longer clears smells, a stale or greasy odour when the fan runs, and filters that look clogged with grease are all signs it's time. Check your rangehood manual for the recommended interval, which is usually a matter of months with regular cooking. Keep the grease filters clean too, as grease reaching the charcoal shortens its life.

• Round (circular) charcoal filter
• Sold as a single filter
• For Blanco rangehoods running in recirculating mode

Swapping the charcoal filter

Switch the rangehood off at the wall and let any lights cool. Remove the grease filters to reach the charcoal filters behind them. Round filters usually twist off the motor housing or release with a clip. Fit the new filter the same way, turning it until it locks, then refit the grease filters. Write down the date so you know when the next change is due.

Questions about this part

Do I need one or two filters?

It depends on your rangehood. ACK62836 is sold as one filter, and many recirculating hoods hold two. Remove your grease filters and count the charcoal filters fitted, then order the same number.
