For light soiling. Place approx. 400 ml of water and a little washing-up liquid in the cooking chamber and select the cleaning program. The environmentally friendly cleaning system softens burnt-in residues, making them much easier to wipe off afterwards
In normal operation, the filter mats are flowed through and absorb the odorous substances. The odor retention is 97%.
In the regeneration phase, the heating cartridge inside the catalytic converter heats the core to approx. 140°C. When the final temperature is reached, the circulation fan starts. The hot air flowing out of the catalytic converter heats the interior of the filter to approx. 50°C. This temperature ensures that the stored odor molecules are released from the activated carbon mats and then flow through the catalytic converter. Here they are broken down and converted into CO2 and oxygen. After a total running time of approx. 90 minutes, all odor molecules are broken down and the filter is regenerated. The regeneration process can be interrupted at any time by switching on the hood. Berbel has taken the example of creating a recirculating air filter that regularly, permanently and reliably converts annoying odors into pure air. The two filter mats used consist of a unique special activated carbon. After a certain number of operating hours (30 minutes of cooking in one go or 60 minutes in total), the new regeneration process starts in the closed filter. The thermocatalytic process neutralizes odors with the help of a catalyst.
