Filters and maintenance
3. Engage the lug at the front.
Replacing the activated carbon filter:
❑ During normal operation (1 to 2 hours
per day) the activated carbon filters
should be replaced approximately 1 x
year.
❑ A replacement filter can be obtained
from any authorized dealer (see optional
accessories).
❑ Use original filters only.
By doing so you will obtain maximum
performance from your extractor hood.
Disposing of the old activated carbon
filter:
❑ There are no pollutants in the activated
carbon filters. They can therefore be
disposed of as part of your normal
domestic refuse.
Installation and removal:
Warning: The halogen bulbs must be
switched off and cool.
1. Remove the metal filter
(see "Removing and inserting the metal
grease filter").
2. Insert the activated carbon filter.
Activated carbon filter:
For neutralizing odours in recirculating
mode.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, there is an increased
risk of fire and the function of the extractor
hood may be impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly
to prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying
or roasting.
