5.3 Cleaning the long-life activated charcoal filter
Long-life activated charcoal filters are only used in the recirculation
model.
The long-life activated charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. The long-
life activated charcoal filter should be cleaned bimonthly with normal use or
whenever the indicator light flashes.
▸ Clean the long-life activated charcoal filter in the dishwasher.
▸ Select an «intensive» or «heavy» wash programme with a warm prewash.
Wash separately so that no food debris can become stuck to the filter.
If no dishwasher is available:
▸ Clean the long-life activated charcoal filter in the sink with hot water and
standard washing-up liquid.
▸ Soak the long-life activated charcoal filter in the sink in hot water and wash-
ing-up detergent for one hour. Afterwards, rinse well.
▸ To reactivate the activated charcoal, dry the long-life activated charcoal filter
without the frame in the oven.
▸ Select top/bottom heat or hot air and set the temperature to 100 °C. Place
the activated charcoal filter on the wire shelf and allow to dry for one hour.
After about three years the long-life activated charcoal filter must be re-
placed because its ability to absorb odours will be reduced. The spent
long-life activated charcoal filter can be disposed of in the household
waste.
