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.

The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local AEG Service

Force Centre.
