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
100ºC.
After approximately three years of use, the carbon filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
• Fitting
1. Pull out the vapour catcher (A).
2. Remove first the rear then the front grease filters.
3. Insert the charcoal filter into the lugs of the frame above using the
2 red clips to retain it, press the red clips inwards, and insert the
charcoal filter in the frame. Fig. 3.
• Removing:
1. Press both red lugs upwards (towards the inside of the housing)
and remove the charcoal filter downwards.
2. Clean the internal housing only with warm washing-up liquid’ suds
(never use any abrasive cleaners, brushes, or scouring agents).
• 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 Service Force
Centre.
