3. Installation Instructions

This activated carbon filter is designed for easy installation into your Klarstein Royal Flush 90 extractor hood. No additional purchases are required for conversion to recirculation mode, as mounting rods are included.

1. Preparation: Ensure your Klarstein Royal Flush 90 extractor hood is turned off and disconnected from the power supply before beginning installation.
2. Access Filter Compartment: Refer to your Royal Flush 90 extractor hood's main instruction manual to locate and open the fat filter compartment. This typically involves removing the existing metal grease filters.
3. Insert Mounting Rods: Carefully insert the provided mounting rods into the designated slots or clips within the fat filter area of the extractor hood. These rods will secure the activated carbon filter in place.
4. Position Carbon Filter: Place the activated carbon filter mat onto the mounting rods, ensuring it covers the air intake area completely. The filter should sit securely without obstructing any moving parts.
5. Secure Compartment: Close the fat filter compartment, ensuring all latches or clips are properly engaged.
6. Reconnect Power: Reconnect the extractor hood to the power supply.

Your extractor hood is now configured for recirculation mode with the activated carbon filter.

4. Operation

Once installed, the activated carbon filter operates passively. As air is drawn into the extractor hood, it passes through the activated carbon material. The activated carbon absorbs cooking odors and grease particles, purifying the air before it is released back into the kitchen environment. No specific user interaction is required for the filter's operation beyond its initial installation.

5. Maintenance and Replacement

To maintain the effectiveness of your Klarstein Royal Flush 90 extractor hood in recirculation mode, regular replacement of the activated carbon filter is crucial. The lifespan of the filter depends on usage frequency and cooking habits.

• Replacement Frequency: It is generally recommended to replace the activated carbon filter every 3 to 6 months. If you notice a decrease in odor absorption or increased noise from the hood, it may be time for a replacement.
• Replacement Procedure:
  1. Disconnect the extractor hood from the power supply.
  2. Open the fat filter compartment as described in the installation section.
  3. Remove the old, saturated activated carbon filter and dispose of it responsibly.
  4. Clean the fat filter and surrounding area if necessary.
  5. Install a new Klarstein Royal Flush 90 Activated Carbon Filter following the steps in Section 3.
  6. Reconnect power to the extractor hood.

Using genuine Klarstein replacement filters ensures continued compatibility and performance.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Klarstein Royal Flush 90 Activated Carbon Filter or the recirculation function of your extractor hood, consider the following:

• Poor Odor Absorption: This is typically an indication that the activated carbon filter is saturated and needs to be replaced. Refer to Section 5 for replacement instructions.
• Filter Not Fitting Correctly: Ensure the mounting rods are correctly positioned and the filter mat is aligned properly within the compartment. Double-check that you have the correct filter model for your Royal Flush 90 extractor hood.
• General Hood Malfunction: For issues unrelated to the carbon filter itself (e.g., fan not working, lights not functioning), please refer to the main instruction manual for your Klarstein Royal Flush 90 extractor hood or contact Klarstein customer support.
