Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood should be working correctly there
must be an underpressure in the kitchen. It is important
to keep the kitchen w indows closed and have a win-
dow in an adjacent room open.
Important to know
Great care must be taken if the hood is used at the
same time as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal
or wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will
expel air which is required by these other appliances.

Cleaning/changing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filte rs, the LONG LIFE carbon
filter can be cleaned and reactivated. The filter should
be cleaned every other month if use d normally. The
filter is best cleaned in a dishw asher at the highest
temperature using normal washer detergent. The filter
should be w ashed on its own to prevent particles of
food from fastening in it and then causing an
unpleasant smell later on. To reactivate the carbon the
filter should be dried in the oven. Chose upper/lower
heat and maximum 100° C and dry the filter for 10
minutes. Read also the filter instructions.
