AEG ELECTROLUX EFC9740.2X, Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

We have kinds of carbon filters: Carbon filters that can be regenerated 8.2.1 and Carbon 
Filters that cannot be regenerated (see 8.2.2). 
 

8.2.1  CARBON FILTER AK WHICH CAN BE REGENERATED 

For carbon filter that can be regenerated you also find an instruction with the filter. 
The carbon filter that can be regenerated is marked with 230 °C on the frame. 
INSTRUCTIONS 
The carbon must be regenerated before the first use as the carbon, even if special active 
carbon, takes on humidity. The humidity must be taken away. 
Put the filter cassette on the grill of your oven and let is warm up for 1 hour at 230°. Then wait 
for 2 hours to let it become completely cold. If the filter is remounted before 2 hours the hood 
can be damaged by remains of hot carbon. The process of regeneration can cause a light 
change in the colour of the filter cassette. After this time the filter can be remounted in the 
hood. 
REGENERATION 
Humidity and grease particules reduce the performances of air delivery and for this reason the 
filter must be regenerated according to the time given in the instruction booklet. 
Put the filter- cassette on the grill of your oven and let it warm up for 1 hour at 230°C. Then 
wait for 2 hours to let it become completely cold. Only after this time the filter can be 
remounted and your hood can work for other 4 months. If you use the hood in an intensive 
way, the filter must be regenerated in shorter time. After 4 years the filter looses its 
effectiveness and must be completely replaced ( it is not possible to add special carbon ) 

8.2.2  CARBON FILTERS THAT CANNOT BE REGENERATED 

WARNING: (FOR CARBON FILTERS THAT CANNOT BE REGENERATED) 

WE RECOMMEND REPLACING CARBON FILTERS AFTER APPROX. 200-300 HOURS 
OF USE OF THE HOB. 

CARBON FILTERS CANNOT BE WASHED OR RE-CYCLED. THEY MUST BE 
REPLACED WHEN THEY WEAR OUT. 
Carbon Filters do not guarantee the interchange of oxygen in the air. 
To ensure correct ventilation and air interchange in the kitchen, national and international 
regulations exist, which should be respected. 

The manufacturer denies any responsibility for fires caused by failure to replace the 
carbon filters. 

 
8.3  REPLACEMENT OF LAMPS 

WARNING

!  Always replace the lamps with lamps which have the same electrical 

characteristics (see TECHNICAL DATA). Before replacing the lamps, make sure that they are 
cold and that power has been completely turned off. 

The halogen lamps used  can be adjustable or flat and fixed. 
To replace a dicroic bulb with an adjustable lamp (FIG.12) proceed as follows: 

• 

take out the circular spring in contact with the glass, grasping the edges; 

• 

take out the faulty bulb and replace it with a new one; 

• 

lift the lamp positioning it into its seat and re-insert the circular spring. 

To replace a halogen lamp  with a fixed lamp proceed as follows (see FIG.13): 

• 

dismantle the lamp frame by means of a screwdriver, making sure that the glass does not 
fall; 

• 

take the faulty lamp out; 

• 

take a new lamp, avoid touching it directly with your fingers, i.e. wrap it in paper; 

• 

insert the two gudgeons into the holes; 

• 

mount back the lamp frame.
