year.
❑ The activated carbon filters are available
from specialist outlets (see Optional
accessories).
❑ Use only original filters.
The appliance is then guaranteed to
function perfectly.
Disposal of old activated carbon filters:
❑ Activated carbon filters do NOT contain
any harmful substances. They can
therefore be disposed of as household
refuse.

Activated carbon filter:
For neutralizing odours in recirculating
mode.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, there is an increased
risk of fire and the function of the extractor
hood may be impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly
to prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying
or roasting.
