1. Product Overview
This document provides instructions for the Spares2go CP178 activated carbon filter, designed as a replacement part for various Candy cooker hood models. The filter is engineered to effectively absorb cooking odors and maintain air quality in your kitchen environment.
Key features of this filter include:
- Anti-odor properties: Specifically formulated to neutralize and remove cooking smells.
- Maximum absorption: Utilizes high-quality carbon for efficient odor capture.
- Saturation indicator: Designed to provide a visual cue when the filter requires replacement (specific indicator mechanism may vary by cooker hood model).
2. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure the cooker hood is completely disconnected from the main power supply to prevent electrical hazards.
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the power to your cooker hood at the circuit breaker or by unplugging it.
- Access Filter Compartment: Refer to your cooker hood's specific user manual to locate and open the filter compartment. This usually involves removing grease filters or a protective cover.
- Remove Old Filter: Carefully detach and remove the old carbon filter. Note its orientation for correct installation of the new filter. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
- Install New Filter: Position the new Spares2go CP178 carbon filter into the compartment. Ensure it is securely fitted according to your cooker hood's design. The filter has a central hole diameter of 40mm and an overall diameter of 170mm, with a height of 35mm.
- Secure Compartment: Close and secure the filter compartment and re-install any removed grease filters or covers.
- Reconnect Power: Restore power to the cooker hood.


3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Spares2go CP178 carbon filter operates automatically as part of your cooker hood's recirculation system. Air drawn into the hood passes through the activated carbon, which traps and neutralizes cooking odors before the air is returned to the kitchen. No further user interaction is required for the filter's operation.
4. Maintenance and Replacement
For optimal performance and effective odor absorption, regular replacement of the carbon filter is essential. The recommended replacement schedule is as follows:
- Intensive Use: Replace every 3 months.
- Normal Use: Replace every 6 months.
- Light Use: Replace every 9 months.
Some cooker hood models may feature a saturation indicator that changes color or provides a visual cue when the carbon filter is saturated and requires replacement. Consult your cooker hood's manual for details on its specific indicator system.
5. Troubleshooting
If you experience persistent cooking odors after installing a new carbon filter, consider the following:
- Check Installation: Ensure the filter is correctly and securely installed in its compartment, with no gaps that could allow air to bypass the carbon.
- Verify Model Compatibility: Confirm that the Spares2go CP178 filter is the correct model for your specific Candy cooker hood. Refer to the 'Compatible Models' section of this manual.
- Filter Age: If the filter has been in use for an extended period, it may be saturated and require replacement, even if it's within the maximum recommended interval.
- Cooker Hood Functionality: Ensure the cooker hood's fan and recirculation system are operating correctly.
