Filters and maintenance
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.
3. Engage the catch.
4. Insert the metal grease filters (see
"Removing and inserting the metal
grease filters").
Replacing the activated carbon filter:
❑ During normal operation (1 to 2 hours
per day) the activated carbon filters
should be replaced approximately 2 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-mesh filters
(see "Removing and inserting the metal-
mesh grease filters").
2. Insert the activated carbon filter.
