Replacing the activated carbon filters:
❑ The saturation of the activated charcoal
occurs after more or less prolonged use,
depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the
cartridge at least every 4 mounths.
The carbon filter may NOT be washed or
regenerated.
❑ The activated carbon filters are available
from specialist outlets (see Optional
accessories).
❑ Use only original filters. The appliance
is then guaranteed to function perfectly.
Disposal of old activated carbon filters:
❑ Activated carbon filters do NOT contain
any harmful substances. They can
therefore be disposed of as householder
fuse.
