•Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 LONG LIFE Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal 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, on 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 charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100ºC.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
