H0530056559 Genuine Carbon Filter for Haier Rangehoods, Charcoal Odour Filter for Recirculating Hoods, Haier 0530056559

Running a rangehood in recirculating mode? H0530056559 is a genuine Haier carbon filter for Haier rangehoods. Instead of venting outside, a recirculating hood draws air through the grease filters and then through a carbon filter, which absorbs cooking smells before the air returns to the kitchen. Carbon filters come in many shapes and sizes, so match the number with your old filter or your hood's manual.

Kitchen smells lingering? Time to change the carbon filter

Activated carbon traps odour molecules in its pores, and once those pores are full the filter stops working, even if it looks clean. A saturated filter lets cooking smells hang around long after the hood is switched off, and a clogged one can also cut airflow so the hood sounds louder but clears less steam. Most carbon filters cannot be washed and reused like aluminium grease filters, so they need replacing on a regular schedule. Many manufacturers suggest every few months of normal cooking, or sooner if you fry or cook strongly flavoured food.

Changing the carbon filter

Switch the rangehood off at the wall and let it cool. Remove the aluminium grease filters to expose the carbon filter, which usually twists, clips or slides into place over the motor housing. Fit the new filter the same way, refit the grease filters and run the hood to check for rattles. Write the date on the filter so you know when it is due again.

Questions about this part

Do I need a carbon filter if my rangehood vents outside?

No. Ducted rangehoods that exhaust outside do not need carbon filters, and fitting one only reduces airflow. They are needed when the hood recirculates air back into the kitchen.
