Charcoal filter

•The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function.

•To do this you will need an original AEG charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre).

•Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter

Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day, in avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the carbon, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a temperature of maximum 100ºC.

After approximately three years of use, the carbon filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.

2.Remove first the rear then the front grease filters.
