Carbon filter
The carbon 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 activated carbon filter (see
special accessories).
Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon 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
carbon, 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 carbon filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be
reduced.
Mounting
Fit the carbon filter first rearward on the long supporting tongue,
then rotate it to close the motor housing and fix it using its two red
keys A.

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 activated carbon filter can be ordered from the AEG technical
assistance service.
