Cleaning and replacing the long-life activated charcoal
filter
The long-life activated charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. The
long-life activated charcoal filter should be changed ever month with normal
use or whenever the
indicator illuminates. The filter can be cleaned in
a dishwasher at 65 °C (select an «intensive» or «heavy soil» wash
programme). Wash the filter separately so that it does not become clogged
with food particles. If it is not possible to wash the filter in a dishwasher, soak
the filter in 60 °C water and detergent for one hour. Then rinse well. To
reactivate the activated charcoal, dry the filter without the frame in the oven.
