Charcoal Filters - For Non-Vented (recirculating)

Installations

The charcoal filters capture unpleasant cooking odors. They can

be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use the filter should be

cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2.5 hours per

day, on average).

Clean the filter in the dishwasher using normal detergent and

choosing the highest temperature setting. Wash the filter

separately. To reactivate the filter, the filter should be dried in

an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature

210°F (100°C).

After approximately

3 years of use, the charcoal filter should be

replaced. See "Assistance
