These high-quality filters are designed to effectively remove odors and pollutants from the air in your kitchen, ensuring a clean and fresh environment. Please read these instructions carefully before use.
Setup and Installation
The AllSpares CBCF002 / CBCF002X2 active carbon filters are designed for easy installation. Before proceeding, ensure your range hood is powered off and disconnected from the electrical supply.
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm that your range hood model is listed in the compatible models section of this manual. It is crucial to compare your range hood's model number with the list provided to ensure proper fit and function.
- Remove Old Filters: Carefully remove any existing filters from your range hood. Refer to your range hood's specific user manual for detailed instructions on filter removal.
- Insert New Filters: Place the new AllSpares active carbon filters into the designated slots in your range hood. The filters are designed for a precise fit with a diameter of 105 mm. Ensure they are securely seated.
- Secure Filters: Follow your range hood's instructions to secure the filters in place, typically involving a simple twist or clip mechanism.

Operating Principles
The AllSpares active carbon filters utilize high-quality activated carbon material to purify the air. As air passes through the filter, the activated carbon granules absorb cooking odors, grease particles, and other airborne pollutants, releasing cleaner air back into your kitchen.
- Odor Elimination: Effectively neutralizes and removes various cooking odors.
- Grease Absorption: Traps and absorbs grease particles, preventing them from recirculating.
- Pollutant Filtration: Filters out other airborne impurities and vapors for improved air quality.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal air quality and filtration performance, it is recommended to replace the active carbon filters every 4 to 6 months. The exact replacement interval may vary depending on your cooking habits and the frequency of range hood use. Regular replacement prevents saturation of the carbon, which can reduce its effectiveness in odor and pollutant removal.
Refer to the 'Setup and Installation' section and Figure 1 for visual guidance on the replacement process.
Troubleshooting
- Filter Does Not Fit: Double-check the model number of your range hood against the list of compatible models provided in this manual and Figure 2. Ensure the filter is correctly oriented and seated. If the filter still does not fit, it may not be compatible with your specific range hood model.
- Persistent Odors: If odors persist after installing new filters, ensure they are correctly installed and securely in place. Verify that the filters are not saturated (if they are new, this is unlikely). If the issue continues, check your range hood's ventilation system for other potential problems.
- Reduced Airflow: While carbon filters primarily address odors, a severely clogged filter can impede airflow. If you experience reduced airflow, ensure the filters are not past their recommended replacement interval.
