Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Electrolux/Pelgrim Type B carbon filter. This filter is designed for use in compatible cooker hoods operating in recirculation mode, effectively removing odors and grease particles from the air.
Safety Information
- Always disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply before attempting any installation or maintenance.
- Handle the filter carefully to avoid damage.
- Keep packaging materials away from children.
- Ensure the filter is correctly seated to prevent air bypass.
Setup and Installation
The carbon filter is an essential component for cooker hoods configured for recirculation. It works by absorbing cooking odors before the air is returned to the kitchen. Refer to your specific cooker hood's instruction manual for detailed steps on accessing the filter housing.
- Prepare the Cooker Hood: Ensure the cooker hood is switched off and disconnected from the main power supply.
- Access Filter Housing: Open the grease filter grille or remove the metal grease filters to access the carbon filter housing. The method varies by cooker hood model.
- Remove Old Filter (if applicable): If replacing an old filter, carefully unclip or twist it to remove it from its position. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
- Install New Carbon Filter: Position the new carbon filter (Model 50263848009 / KF90) into the designated slots or clips. Ensure it is securely fastened and sits flush against the housing to prevent air leakage. Some models may require a twisting motion to lock the filter in place.
- Reassemble: Reinstall any removed grease filters or close the grille.
- Restore Power: Reconnect the cooker hood to the power supply.

Operating Instructions
The carbon filter operates passively within your cooker hood's recirculation system. Once installed, it continuously filters the air as the cooker hood runs. No direct user interaction is required for the filter's operation itself.
For optimal performance, ensure your cooker hood is used at appropriate fan speeds for the cooking task. The effectiveness of odor removal is directly related to the air passing through the filter.
Maintenance
Regular replacement of the carbon filter is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of your cooker hood's odor removal capabilities. Carbon filters cannot be washed or regenerated.
- Replacement Frequency: It is recommended to replace the carbon filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on the frequency and intensity of cooking. Heavy cooking or frying may necessitate more frequent replacement.
- Replacement Procedure: Follow the "Setup and Installation" steps in reverse to remove the old filter and install a new one.
- Disposal: Dispose of used carbon filters according to local waste disposal regulations. They are generally considered household waste.
