Wait until they are completely dry before putting them back in place. You can wash them by hand or in the dishwasher.

Replacing the charcoal filters: The activated charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They should be replaced every 3 to 4 months on average depending on your usage. To order replacement filters, contact your dealer or refer to the order coupon provided with your hood.

By adhering to this regularity of cleaning and replacing the filters, the red light will only reappear after approximately 30 hours of operation.
