[. . . ] Hand washing Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance. Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes). The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function. To do this you will need an original AEG charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre). replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 This filter cannot be cleaned or reused. As a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed once every 12 months. Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 LONG LIFE Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2, 5 hours per day, on avarage). 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 100ºC. After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced. Insert the charcoal filter into the lugs of the frame above using the 2 red clips to retain it, press the red clips inwards, and insert the charcoal filter in the frame. Press both red lugs upwards (towards the inside of the housing) and remove the charcoal 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.
