Customer Questions and Answers for Charcoal Filter (Range Hood) by Broan

This activated charcoal filter restores odor reduction for recirculating range hoods. Replacing a saturated filter helps your hood control cooking smells and maintain effective performance in non-ducted installations.

• Adsorbs cooking odors when the hood is set to recirculate (non-ducted)
• Helps maintain capture performance; replace when odor removal declines
• Common signs it's due: lingering odors, heavy discoloration, or musty smell when the fan runs
• Not washable; designed for periodic replacement only

• Disconnect power to the hood before servicing
• Remove the grease filter to access the charcoal filter location/retainer
• Seat the new filter fully and secure per your hood's design; follow any airflow markings if present
• Reinstall the grease filter, restore power, and test the fan
