Carbon Charcoal Filters For Cooker Hoods
Long-Life Matt Filter — Number 1
If your Luxair Tolvi Stratus cooker hood runs in recirculation mode, this is a fundamentally different type of charcoal filter from the standard granular carbon replacements. The Number 12 is a long-life matt filter designed to be washed and reused — lasting up to 3 years with correct maintenance, rather than being replaced every 3–4 months. One purchase covers you for years rather than months.
Compatible hoods include:
Tolvi Stratos
Important: fitted behind each metal grease filter. Each pack contains 1 filters, providing exactly what you need for a complete installation. The metal grease filter is not included — see related products for the correct grease filter for your hood.
If you're unsure whether this is the correct filter for your hood, check your hood's manual or use the contact form on this page — our UK-based support team will confirm for you.
Washable and reusable — how it works
Unlike standard granular carbon charcoal filters which are discarded once saturated, the Number 12 matt filter uses regenerated washable panels that can be cleaned and reinstated to full performance. Clean the filter every 4 months — or every 3 months if you cook heavily — and it will continue performing effectively for up to 3 years and up to 5 wash cycles in total.
To clean: either wash by hand using warm soapy water, or place flat in the dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle. After washing, allow to air dry vertically at room temperature before refitting. Do not tumble dry or use heat to speed drying.
Why choose the long-life filter over standard replacements
The Number 12 is the more sustainable and cost-effective choice for downdraft hood owners who want to reduce ongoing maintenance costs and filter waste. Rather than purchasing replacement packs every 3–4 months, a single pack provides up to 3 years of filtration with straightforward periodic washing. It is also the environmentally preferable option — manufactured with regenerated and washable panels to minimise waste.
Can I wash this filter in the dishwasher?
Yes — place the filter flat in the dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle. Alternatively, wash by hand in warm soapy water. After washing, allow to air dry vertically at room temperature before refitting. Do not use heat to speed up drying.
How many times can I wash the Number 1 filter?
Up to 5 wash cycles over the filter's lifespan of up to 3 years. After 5 washes, the filter should be replaced — performance will diminish beyond this point regardless of how it looks.
Is the metal grease filter included?
No. The metal grease filter is sold separately — see the related products on this page for the correct grease filter for your hood.
