    IMPORTANT: BEFORE REPLACING A PART IN ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS FIRST UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS.

    Welcome to BuySpares, in this video we will show you how to replace the charcoal filters on a cooker hood.

    Start by removing the grease filters from underneath the cooker hood. These should lift off quite easily.

    To remove the filter, grip firmly and turn anti-clockwise until you hear or feel a click - the filter should then lift off.

    To re-fit the new filter, place back on and turn clockwise until it clicks into place.

    Repeat the process with the filter on the other side, and then replace the grease filters.

    **Please bear in mind that the method of removing charcoal filters may vary according to your model of cooker hood.**
