• Assicurarsi che i filtri siano completamente asciutti prima di reinstallarli.

5.2 Sostituzione dei filtri al carbone (solo modalità di ricircolo)

If your hood is operating in recirculation mode, the optional F21 carbon filter (part no. 112.0506.172) needs to be replaced approximately every 3-6 months, depending on usage. These filters are not washable and must be replaced when saturated.
