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 AEG charcoal filter (available
from your local Service Force Centre).
• Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon 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 carbon, 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 carbon filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be
reduced.
• Mounting - Fig. 4
Put the charcoal filter frame in place and fix it with 5 screws.
Fit the charcoal filter first from the rear side and fix it frontwards
using the two red keys A.
• To remove proceed in the reverse order.
• Always specify the hood model code number and serial number
when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the
registration plate located on the inside of the unit.
• The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local AEG Service
Force Centre.
