Cartridge or cassette filled with activated charcoal, used to filter contaminants from the air. Required in ductless range hoods, as it will remove other contaminants after airborne grease has been absorbed by grease filters. Carbon filters cannot be washed or cleaned, and should be replaced every few months (depending on amount of cooking).
Note: all ProLine brand range hoods are shipped with the appropriate Aluminum or Stainless Steel Baffle Filters Included. Carbon Filters are optional and can be purchased separately.. However, if your range hood will be connected to an outside duct – you do not use any carbon filters. Since the air will be extracted to the outside, the carbon filter is not necessary.
Also called: charcoal filter, activated charcoal filter, “black filter”, and other variations.
