Charcoal filter
• The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood
in its filtering function.
• To do this you will need an original AEG charcoal filter (see special
accessories).
• Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filter, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be
cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned
every second month. The best way to clean the filter is in the
dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest tempera-
ture (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets
stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the
charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a
temperature of maximum 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be
reduced.
• Mounting
Remove the frame i which supports the filter h by unscrewing it
from the hood g , Fig.4 . Insert the coal mattress inside the frame
and put all parts back in their place.
• To dismount proceed in reverse order.
• Always specify the hood model code number and serial number
when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the
registration plate located on the inside of the unit.
• The charcoal filter can be ordered from the AEG technical
assistance service.
