•Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated.
With 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 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new one, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
Fit the charcoal filter on the rear side of the grease filter, fix it with metal wires.
The metal wires are included in the carbon filter packing and not on the hood
•To remove proceed in the reverse order.
•Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the rating plate located on the inside of the unit.
