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
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 of 210°F
(100°C).
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should
be replaced.
