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.

knobs g.
Insert the charcoal filter inside the frame and put all parts back in
their place. Fig. 5.
