Carbon filter
•The carbon filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in its filtering function.
•To do this you will need an original AEG activated carbon filter (see special accessories).
•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. The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest tempera- ture (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 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the carbon filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
•Mounting
Remove the frame b which supports the filter c by unscrewing it from the hood a, Fig. 4.
Insert the coal mattress inside the frame and put all parts back in their place.
•To dismount proceed in reverse order.
•Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the registration plate located on the inside of the unit.
•The activated carbon filter can be ordered from the AEG technical assistance service.
