Charcoal filter
The charcoal filter should only be used if you
want to use the hood in the recirculation
function.
To do this you will need an original charcoal
filter (available from your local Service Force
Centre).
Cleaning/replacing the charcoal 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 (when using the hood 2,5 hours per
day, in avarage). The best way to clean the filter is
in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and
choose the highest temperature (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.
