Unlike other charcoal filters, the
LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be
cleaned and reactivated.
With normal use the filter should be
cleaned every second month (when
using the hood 2.5 hours per day ,on
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
charcoal, the filter should be dried in
an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100º C.
After approximately three years of
use, the charcoal filter should be
replaced with a new one, as the
odour reduction capacity will be
reduced.
• Always specify the hood model code
number and serial number when
ordering replacement filters. This
information is shown on the rating
plate located on the inside of the
unit.
• The charcoal filter can be ordered
from your local Service Force Centre.

Extend the duct hose correctly.
A duct hose which is too long or has
too many bends can reduce cooker
hood efficiency by fifty per cent.
Shorten the hose if it is too long, and
avoid unnecessary bends in it.
A complete venting kit is available as
an optional extra.
The ventilation pipe (A) is pulled over
the hood’s evacuation flange (B) and is
held firmly in place with a clamp.
Make sure the pipe is as straight as

The pipe is connected to the mouth of
the duct with the metal flange (C)
which is included in the kit.
