These filters use advanced technology to trap and neutralize cooking odors, smoke, and other contaminants. With the PlasmaMade E-Filter, you get the added benefit of plasma and electrostatic discharge technology, which ensures thorough air purification. This means not only are your kitchen smells reduced, but allergens and pathogens are also significantly minimized. The result? Cleaner air and a healthier home environment.

Key Features:
