Cleaning and replacing the long-life activated charcoal filter
Long-life activated charcoal filters are only used in the recirculation model.
In contrast to the standard activated charcoal filter, the long-life activated
charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use of the
appliance, the long-life activated charcoal filter should be cleaned every
month. The long-life activated charcoal filter can be washed in the dishwasher
at 65 °C (intensive program). The long-life activated charcoal filter should be
washed separately so that no food remnants can harden on the filter. If no
other options are available, the filter can also be soaked for an hour at 60 °C
in a sink with a standard detergent. Afterward, rinse well.
To reactivate the activated charcoal, the long-life filter must be dried without
its frame in an oven.
A Select top or bottom heating element or 100 °C hot air and allow the filter
to dry 60 minutes on the wire shelf.
A Remove and clean the metal grease filter.
A Take out the long-life activated charcoal filter and reactivate it or replace it
with a new filter.
A Reinsert the metal grease filter.
A Screw the fuse back in or switch the circuit breaker back on.
Remove the appliance’s fuse or switch the circuit breaker off.
After about 3 years, the long-life activated charcoal filter must be
replaced since its ability to absorb odours is reduced.
The dirty long-life activated charcoal filter can be disposed of with the
household waste.
