Setup and Installation

The AquaHouse AH-CHF02F-2PK carbon filters are designed for easy installation using a bayonet connector system. Always ensure your cooker hood is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before attempting any installation or maintenance.

1. Access the Filter Compartment: Refer to your cooker hood's specific instruction manual to locate and open the filter compartment. This usually involves removing the metal grease filters or a cover.
2. Remove Old Filters: If replacing existing carbon filters, carefully unclip or twist them to remove them from their housing. Note their orientation for correct installation of the new filters.
3. Install New Filters: Align the bayonet connectors on the new AquaHouse carbon filter with the corresponding slots in the cooker hood's motor housing. Gently push and twist the filter clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure both filters are firmly seated.
4. Close Compartment: Replace any covers or grease filters that were removed, ensuring they are also securely fastened.
5. Test: Reconnect power to the cooker hood and test its operation.

Important: Always consult your cooker hood's manufacturer manual for specific installation procedures, as designs may vary.

Operating Principle

These carbon filters function by drawing air through multiple layers to purify it. The primary components are a high-density non-woven cloth and high-quality activated carbon.

• High Density Non-Woven Cloth: This layer captures smoke, larger impurities, and airborne particles.
• High Quality Activated Carbon: Processed using advanced activating technology, the activated carbon has a large capacity for absorbing impurities, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), smoke, and bad smells from the air.
• Innovative Annular Oil Guide Channel: This design feature helps to lock extra oil in the oil sponge, which can further increase the filter's service life by preventing premature saturation of the carbon.

Maintenance

Carbon filters are consumable items and require regular replacement to maintain effective odor absorption. They are not washable and attempting to clean them will damage their structure and reduce their effectiveness.

• Replacement Frequency: For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace the carbon filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on the frequency and intensity of cooking. Heavy cooking, especially frying, may necessitate more frequent replacement.
• Disposal: Dispose of used carbon filters according to local waste disposal regulations.

Troubleshooting

If you notice a decrease in the cooker hood's ability to remove cooking odors, the carbon filters may need attention.

• Reduced Odor Absorption: This is the most common indicator that the carbon filters are saturated and need to be replaced.
• Improper Installation: Ensure the filters are correctly installed and securely locked into place. Refer to the 'Setup and Installation' section.
• Incorrect Filter Type: Verify that you are using the correct filter model (AH-CHF02F-2PK) for your cooker hood and that its dimensions (210mm diameter) match the required specifications.
