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