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 charcoal filter

Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal 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 charcoal, 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.

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

Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering

replacement filters. This information is shown on the registration plate located on
