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 charcoal filter (available from your local Service
Force Centre).
Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
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, 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 charcoal, 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 charcoal filter should be replaced with
a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
