Grease filter Cartridge or cassette filled with layers of metal mesh, which traps airborne grease. Grease filters are made from metallic materials (typically, anodized aluminum), and do not need to be replaced but are easily removable and dishwasher-safe. Carbon Filter: 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). 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.
