FAQs
How often should I replace the carbon filter?
It is generally recommended to replace the carbon filter every 6 to 12 months, depending on how frequently you use your extractor hood and the types of cooking you do. Consult your appliance's user manual for specific guidance.
Can I wash the carbon filter?
No, carbon filters are not designed to be washed. Washing will damage the activated carbon and render it ineffective. They must be replaced when saturated.
What is the difference between a carbon filter and a grease filter?
Grease filters capture airborne grease particles produced during cooking. Carbon filters, on the other hand, absorb and neutralize odors from the air. Both are essential for effective kitchen ventilation.
Which models is this filter compatible with?
This filter is compatible with specific models from Bosch, Electrolux Group, Neff, and Siemens, including BoschCHARCOAL, D890ZN0GB03, and NEFF models. Always verify compatibility with your appliance's model number.
What are the dimensions of the filter?
The dimensions are a diameter of 210mm and a height of 45mm.
Will this filter remove smoke?
This carbon filter is primarily designed to absorb odors. While it can capture some smell associated with smoke, it is not a smoke detector or a specialized smoke removal filter. For smoke, ensuring adequate ventilation and using grease filters are also key.
Troubleshooting
Extractor fan is noisy after filter replacement
Ensure the carbon filter is securely locked in place and that the grease filters are correctly reinstalled. An improperly seated filter can cause vibrations.
Odors are not being effectively removed
The carbon filter may be saturated and require replacement. Check the recommended replacement schedule and replace if overdue. Ensure the correct filter type is installed.
Filter does not seem to fit correctly
Double-check the compatibility with your specific appliance model. Ensure no packaging material is obstructing the filter's placement and that it is being rotated in the correct direction to lock.
