hood may be impaired.

to prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying
or roasting.

Replacing the activated carbon filter:
❑
During normal operation (1 to 2 hours
per day) the activated carbon filters
should be replaced approximately 1 x
year.
❑
A replacement filter can be obtained
from any authorized dealer (see optional
accessories).
❑
Use original filters only.
By doing so you will obtain maximum
performance from your extractor hood.
Disposing of the old activated carbon
filter:
❑
There are no pollutants in the activated
carbon filters. They can therefore be
disposed of as part of your normal
domestic refuse.
