Say Goodbye to Grease and Grime: How to Effortlessly Clean Your Jenn-Air Range Hood Filter

Maintaining a clean Jenn-Air range hood filter is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and preventing grease buildup. If you’re wondering how to clean a Jenn-Air range hood filter, this comprehensive guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions and valuable tips to keep your filter spotless.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin cleaning, gather the following materials:

• Dish soap
• Warm water
• Soft cloth or sponge
• Degreaser (optional)
• Soft-bristled brush (optional)

Step 2: Remove the Filter

Locate the range hood filter. It is typically located at the bottom of the hood. Gently pull the filter towards you to remove it.

Step 3: Soak the Filter

Fill your sink or a large bowl with warm water and dish soap. Submerge the filter in the solution and let it soak for 15-20 minutes. This will help loosen the grease and make cleaning easier.

Step 4: Scrub the Filter

Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the filter. If there is heavy grease buildup, you can use a degreaser to remove it. Avoid using abrasive brushes or sponges, as they can damage the filter.

Step 5: Rinse the Filter

Once the filter is clean, rinse it thoroughly with warm water to remove any remaining soap or degreaser.

Step 6: Dry the Filter

Use a clean, soft cloth or paper towels to dry the filter completely before reinstalling it.

Step 7: Reinstall the Filter

Once the filter is dry, reinstall it in the range hood. Ensure that it is securely in place.
