Clean your Samsung range hood and vents

Your Samsung range hood comes with a lot of different parts, so cleaning them may seem overwhelming. However, the hood, vent, and filters can be cleaned quickly and easily by following some simple steps. You’ll just need to carefully remove the individual parts using our instructions, and then wipe them down. Some parts can even be put in your dishwasher for super fast cleaning.

Note:
Do not use abrasive cleaners or materials on the hood or the controls, as they may scratch the surface. These include products such as spray cleaners, alcohol-based cleaners, chlorine-based cleaners, steel wool, and scouring pads.

Your range hood should be cleaned often to prevent grease and food stains from building up. If you notice any dirt or grime on it, then it’s time to clean. Soft cloths such as microfiber cloths are perfect for cleaning the hood.

  1. Add a small amount of liquid detergent to a soft cloth, and then gently wipe the surface of the hood. If needed, you can dampen the cloth with water.
  2. Rub the cloth in the direction of the stainless steel grain to avoid scratching the surface.

Replace the charcoal filters

Note:
Replacement charcoal filters are not included with the hood. They must be ordered from Samsungparts.com. The charcoal filters are not washable.

Your charcoal filter should last between six months to one year. After this time, it should be replaced with a new one. The instructions may vary depending on your model, so make sure to check your user manual if you are unsure.

 

  1. To replace your charcoal filter, first remove the metal grease filter from the hood, and then remove the old charcoal filter.
  2. Then, bend the spring clips away from the metal grease filter.

  4. If your model has a filter latch, you may need to pull the latch back, and then push the front of the charcoal filter up into place.
  5. Next, insert the metal grease filter back into the hood.
