In brief
- The KP-FLI filter is made of AISI-430 stainless steel – a chromium grade, with no nickel added, magnetic.
- A whole family of sizes sits behind a single part number; the model is selected to match the clear opening of the frame in the hood, not the other way round.
- Available sizes: 300 × 500, 400 × 400, 400 × 500, 450 × 450, 500 × 300, 500 × 400 and 500 × 500 mm.

Hood filter – various models KP-FLI – how to choose the right one
The KP-FLI filter for catering hoods is made of AISI-430 stainless steel. The symbol covers several frame sizes, so the filter is matched to the opening of the specific hood rather than to one universal size.
AISI-430 is a chromium steel without nickel, which makes it magnetic – a magnet held against it immediately tells it apart from austenitic AISI-304. In contact with hot grease and typical degreasing agents it behaves well; the weak point of the grade is chlorides, that is salt and chlorine-based preparations.
What counts when ordering is not the size of the hood but the rail the filter sits in. You measure the clear width between the guides and the height of the seat, then check how many units fit side by side over the whole length. A few millimetres of clearance are needed so that the filter can be taken out with one hand when it is warm and slippery.
How a baffle filter differs from a mesh one – we explained it in the selection guide for this category.
Where it works
- Wall-mounted hoods over a gas range, where the filter works in the stream of hot flue gases
- Island hoods with two rows of filters on either side of the cooking block
- Replacing a full set in another manufacturer's hood when the original inserts are unavailable
- Kitchens that keep a second set to swap in, so the hood keeps running while the first one is being washed
- Hoods over combi steamers and boiling pans
FAQ
Frequently asked questions

Ask a questionHow do you measure a filter for a hood that is already installed?
The most reliable way is to measure the old filter, not the opening – the slot dimension can be misleading. For a quote, give the width, height and the number of filters that fit in the rail.
Is AISI-430 enough, given that the KP-FSI mesh is made of AISI-304?
For trapping grease and working in hot air, chromium is entirely sufficient. If the kitchen works with brines, fish or chlorine-based preparations, a version in the austenitic grade is worth considering.
Which programme should the filter be washed on, and how should it be dried afterwards?
A standard commercial dishwasher programme with a degreasing detergent is sufficient. Stand the filter upright to dry so that water can drain off freely. Chlorine-based products are best avoided on this steel.
