CARE AND CLEANING
Carbon filters – for use in recirculation mode
Active carbon filters are disposable items designed to remove grease and odours from
cooking vapours before the air is channelled back into the kitchen. The active carbon
filters must be replaced periodically to work properly, at least once every three months,
depending on the frequency with which the rangehood is used.
Fully saturated carbon filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore limiting
rangehood performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be flammable and
therefore regular replacement is recommended.
