Fitting and Replacing the Active Carbon Filter (recirculating air)
If the cooker hood is used in re-circulation mode, an activated charcoal filter must be inserted in addition
to the aluminium grease filters. These charcoal filters (not supplied) are designed to absorb cooking
odours and are located in the canopy above the grease filters.
The charcoal filters are not washable and should be replaced when they no longer absorb kitchen odours
effectively. Under normal use, this would be approximately every 4 months, or more frequently for
particularly heavy usage. Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with normal household waste.
Before fitting or replacing charcoal filters, the grease filters must first be removed (see previous section).
Active Carbon Filters (not provided)
To fit the carbon filters, position them in place and rotate in direction B as shown below. For those
models fitted with round carbon filters, the filters are removed by placing one hand on the filter and
rotating it towards the front of the hood (A). The carbon filter can now be removed. Ensure the
aluminium grease filter is replaced once complete.
