Is the EVOAQ grease filter a replacement rangehood filter?

No. The EVOAQ product is a grease grille with its own frame, designed to be installed with EVOAQ kitchen extraction systems. It has a similar appearance to a standard rangehood grille but is not presented as a universal replacement filter for rangehood appliances.

Does the grease grille replace a kitchen rangehood?

The grease grille is part of an extraction system rather than a rangehood replacement. EVOAQ kitchen extraction can also be used in conjunction with a separate rangehood where required.

Q: What does a kitchen grease filter do?

A kitchen grease filter is positioned at the extraction inlet to help filter oil and grease from cooking air before it reaches the extraction fan. The EVOAQ grease grille also helps protect the fan from grease and dust build-up.

Protect the fan behind your kitchen extraction

Cooking produces more than heat and odour. Oil and grease can travel with the extracted air and build up inside an extraction system.

The EVOAQ Grease Grille Filter with Frame is designed to sit at the kitchen extraction inlet and help filter oil and grease before it reaches the fan. Although developed for EVOAQ systems, it can also be used with other suitable extraction fan systems where the grille dimensions, duct connection and installation arrangement are compatible.

The grille is designed to look similar to a conventional rangehood grille, so it can blend naturally into a kitchen or kitchenette while providing a dedicated filtration point.

Why use a grease filter on kitchen extraction?

Putting filtration at the extraction inlet helps deal with grease where it is generated, rather than allowing it to travel deeper into the extraction system.

Capture grease at the source

Place the grille at the kitchen extraction inlet so oil and grease can be filtered before the air reaches the fan.

Protect the extraction fan

The grease grille is designed to help protect the fan behind it from grease and dust build-up.

Designed for kitchen extraction

The grille and frame were developed for EVOAQ kitchen extraction systems, but the grille can also be used with other suitable extraction fan systems where the dimensions and duct connection are compatible.

Grease filter with frame — made for EVOAQ extraction

The EVOAQ grease grille includes both the filter and mounting frame. It can be used as an add-on with EVOAQ through-wall and inline kitchen extraction fans, and may also suit other extraction fan systems where the dimensions, duct connection and installation requirements match.

The grille is designed for duct sizes up to 150mm and can also be used with the EVOAQ 180mm through-wall kitchen extraction fan.

Installation is straightforward: cut the required hole in the wall or ceiling, mount the grille frame, connect the ducting or through-wall fan, and place the grille into the frame.

Kitchen grease filter or rangehood filter?

A rangehood grease filter is normally a replacement component designed to fit a particular appliance. The EVOAQ grease grille is different: it is a complete grille-and-filter assembly designed to sit at the inlet of a kitchen extraction system.

It can be used with EVOAQ extraction systems and, where the dimensions and duct connection are suitable, with other extraction fan systems too. It is not a universal replacement for appliance-specific rangehood filters.

The grease grille is not a complete replacement for a rangehood. Where practical, EVOAQ recommends installing a rangehood as well as the kitchen extraction system, particularly where the rangehood can capture cooking emissions directly at the cooking surface.

Kitchen extraction applications

Home kitchens

Use the grease grille as part of a dedicated kitchen extraction system to help manage cooking air at the source.

Kitchenettes

The grille's rangehood-style appearance makes it suitable for compact kitchens and kitchenette installations.

Rental properties

Pair the grease grille with a suitable kitchen extraction fan system where automatic extraction is required to keep air moving even when occupants do not manually switch on a fan.

Can it be used with a rangehood?

The grease grille is not intended to be a complete replacement for a rangehood. Where practical, a rangehood should also be installed to capture cooking emissions at the source, subject to the installation requirements of the extraction system.
