Thecarbonltersarecapableofretainingodours
untilthecarbonreachessaturationlevel.They
cannot be washed and they are not renewable,
therefore,it isrecommendedtoreplacethemat
leasteverysixmonthsormoreoftenifthehoodis
usedoften.
Beforestartingoperationsmakesuretheelectrical
powersupplytothehoodisdisconnected.
