Cleaning/replacing the charcoal
filter
Unlike other filters of the same type, LONG LIFE
charcoal filters can be cleaned and re-used. The
filter should be cleaned every other month under
normal operating conditions. We recommend you
clean the filter in a dishwasher, at the maximum
temperature setting, using a standard detergent. No
domestic tools should be in the dishwasher when
the filter is cleaned, in order to avoid any food
particle deposits on the filter that could create
additional unpleasant odours. To reactivate the
charcoal, just dry the filter inside your oven. Set
the oven mode to normal (not to the "Grill" mode),
at a maximum temperature of 100° C, and leave
the filter inside it for 10 minutes. Read the filter
instructions too.
Clean the filter regularly. Any oil build-
ups in the filter or duct could catch fire in
the event of overheating.
Clean the filter frequently. The cleaner
the filter, the lower the fan motor load,
which improves ventilation performance.
Lowering the front visor
Note! Do NOT overload the pull-out glass
visor by resting on it or subjecting it to
abnormal loads.
The front visor can be lowered to facilitate
cleaning operations.
1. Push the front visor upwards until it rests
against the rear edge (see figure).
2. Lower the visor until it reaches the front edge
(see figure).
3. After cleaning, raise the visor; it locks
automatically in place as it reaches the rear
edge.
Filter cleaning
Clean the filter once a month or every other month,
depending on how often you use the hood. The
cleaner the filter, the more it traps oil and fat. To
remove the filter (see figure):
1. Using the handle: push the filter upwards to
put it back in its initial position.
2. Pull the front of the filter downwards and pull
out from the front.
The filter consists of aluminium cables on which
the oil and fat deposit. Clean the filter in hot water
and some detergent or in your dishwasher. Leave
the filter to dry before repositioning it. Please note
that the filter colour may fade if it is cleaned in a
dishwasher.
