Why a Carbon Filter? (Essential for Ductless Use)
If you don't have a chimney outlet in your home or if you're using the range hood in recirculation mode, an active carbon filter is necessary to trap odors and steam. These filters complement grease filters; while grease filters can be washed, carbon filters are consumables and are replaced at regular intervals.
Requirements
Appropriate type of Vestel compatible carbon filter (may vary by model)
Dry cloth / gloves
Phillips screwdriver if necessary (for some covers)
Average Time
Installation: ~5–10 minutes
Cleaning: ~2–3 minutes
Step-by-Step: Vestel Carbon Filter Installation
Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the socket.
Remove the grease (cassette) filters. Push the lower cover latches and remove the filters downwards.
Locate the carbon filter housing. Usually, there's a channeled housing on the motor cover.
Align and lock: Align the tabs of the carbon filter with the channels in the housing, turn it half a turn clockwise to secure it.
Reinstall the grease filter and close the cover.
Test: Run it at a low speed and check for abnormal noises or looseness.
Tip: If the filters remain loose, there will be air leakage and performance will decrease. It should click into place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it without a carbon filter?
Not for ductless use; odors will return. If you have a chimney outlet, a carbon filter is not needed.
My grease filter is metal; do I still need a carbon filter?
The grease filter traps grease vapor; it does not trap odors. A carbon filter is essential for ductless use.
Has the noise increased after installing the filter, is this normal?
A slight increase is normal, but if there's a rubbing sound, the filter might not be seated correctly.
