Carbon Filter - AEG DF 6260 Operating And Installation Manual

Carbon filter

• The activated carbon filter should only be used if you want to use the
hood in its filtering function.
• To do this you will need an original AEG activated carbon filter (see
special accessories).
• The carbon filters absorb smells and odours.
• Changing and cleaning the carbon filter - KF 8
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be
cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned
every second month. The best way to clean the filter is in the
dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest tempera-
ture (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 KF8 filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
• Replacing the carbon filter - KFL 6080
The activated carbon filter must normally be replaced at least once
every year. This filter cannot be washed or regenerated.
To guarantee proper absorption of odours the working volume of the
activated carbon must be proportionate to the hood air flow. In this
case the high quality of the activated carbon will ensure efficient
odour removal for approximately one year, assuming that the hood is
used normally. For this reason you should always use original AEG
filters only, making sure they are replaced when necessary.
• Mounting
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 holding frame above
using the 2 red clips to retain it below, press the red clips inwards,
and insert the charcoal filter in the holding frame. Fig. 3.
• To dismount press both red lugs and remove the carbon filter
downwards.
• 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 activated carbon filter can be ordered from the AEG technical
assistance service.
