3. Funcionament
The JUDAOLE Range Hood Grease Filter operates passively as part of your range hood's ventilation system. When the range hood is turned on, air containing cooking fumes, steam, and grease particles is drawn through the filter. The filter's mesh design traps grease particles, preventing them from entering the range hood's ductwork and motor, and releasing cleaner air back into your kitchen or outdoors, depending on your hood's configuration.
For optimal performance, ensure your range hood is operated according to its manufacturer's instructions, especially regarding fan speed and duration of use during cooking.

- Freqüència de substitució: The frequency of replacement depends on your cooking habits. For average use, it is recommended to replace the grease filter every 3 to 6 months. For heavy cooking, more frequent replacement (e.g., every 1-3 months) may be necessary.

- Ensure the filter is installed correctly and securely.
- Check if the filter is already heavily soiled (if recently installed, this is unlikely, but possible if the hood was very dirty).
