When selecting a suitable cooker hood filter, buyers often need to match replacement parts precisely to a specific brand and appliance model. The main product, Cooker hood filter CATA 02859498 Grey Metal, is designed specifically for CATA V-6000 and V-9000 hood models and is constructed from durable grey metal to capture grease and odors. Meanwhile, alternative products such as Electrolux MCFE39, AEG MCFE21, Elica KIT0166444, CATA 02859500, and CATA K&M universal replacement are tailored for different brands, alternative equipment lines, or rely on charcoal filtering elements. The main practical differences lie in brand compatibility, material composition, and whether they are built for grease trapping or odor removal in recirculation mode.
