NOTICE!
Exhaust air must not be sent via an active smoke
or waste gas flue; or a flue used for ventilation of
places where heat sources are installed.
Active Carbon Filter
Discs of carbon are used in the path of airflow to
help trap and hold the substances within cooking
air responsible for bad smells.
Carbon Filters in all hoods should be changed
regularly (guide 6 months), depending on use.
