TEKA hood filters: types, maintenance, and original spare parts

Filters for TEKA hoods : a practical guide to choosing, maintaining, and changing your filters

Keeping your TEKA extractor hood in good condition is key to a kitchen free of smoke, grease, and unpleasant odors. In this article, we explain the types of filters (metallic, aluminum, and carbon), how they work, when to change them, where to find your hood model, and why it's important to trust Electrotodo for original replacement parts.

What is the function of the filters in an extractor hood?

Extractor hood filters trap grease and/or neutralize odors generated during cooking. They are essential for keeping the air clean and preventing grease from accumulating inside the appliance or on other kitchen fixtures.

Types of TEKA filters: which one does your hood have?

🔹 Metallic filters (aluminum):

• Made up of several layers of metal mesh that trap grease.
• Washable and reusable ...with care and up to a limit.
• Used in both externally vented and recirculating hoods.

🔹 Activated carbon filters:

• Designed to neutralize odors .
• They are used in hoods without air outlet to the outside .
• They cannot be washed ; they must be changed periodically.

When and how to perform maintenance?

✅ Metal filters:

• Cleaning: every 2-4 weeks, depending on use.
• How to clean them: by hand with warm water and degreaser.
• Replacement: If they are damaged or deformed. Depending on usage, they can be replaced up to annually. After multiple washes, the inner mesh may become deformed and no longer perform its function, allowing grease to accumulate in the motor.

✅ Carbon filters:

• Not reusable .
• Recommended change: every 3-6 months.
• If odors persist, it's time to replace them.

Where can I find the model of my TEKA hood?

To find the right filter, you need to know the exact model of your hood. This is usually found on a label inside the appliance , just behind the metal filter.

Look for a reference with letters and numbers, such as: CNL 6400 or DHL 785 .

Why change filters regularly?

Changing the filters regularly keeps the hood working properly. Otherwise:

• Grease can build up in the engine, reducing its lifespan.
• Odors are not eliminated efficiently.
• Increases the risk of overheating or even fire.
