• 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
Remove the grease filter.
Apply active carbon filter KLF 60/80, special accessory E-Nr.:610
899 421 on the lamp side, press in both red lugs on the carbon filter,
and unclip the carbon filter forwards (towards the front edge of the
appliance).
Refit the grease filter.
• 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.
