Cleaning the long-life activated charcoal filters
The long-life activated charcoal filters can be cleaned and regenerated. Every two
months with normal use or whenever the saturation indicator flashes. Depending on in-
tensity of use, do not exceed 5–8 regeneration cycles. If properly cared for, the service
life of the long-life activated charcoal filter is up to three years.
Disconnect the power supply and switch off the fuse or circuit breaker.
Cleaning and regenerating
▸ Take the activated charcoal filter mat out of the plastic housing and clean in the dish-
washer.
▸ Select an «intensive» or «heavy» dishwasher programme with a warm prewash. Wash
separately so that no food debris can become stuck to the activated charcoal filter
mat.
If no dishwasher is available:
▸ Clean the activated charcoal filter mat with hot water and detergent and then soak in
hot water in the sink for an hour. Rinse well afterwards.
▸ Subsequently dry the activated charcoal filter mat in an oven at 100 °C using top/bot-
tom heat or hot air.
Dispose of long-life activated charcoal filters that are spent and no longer able to
be recycled at a suitable recycling point.
