Falmec KACL.1048 – Carbon.Zeo® Microtech Regenerable Filter (Pair) for Circle.Tech Hoods
A set of two regenerable Carbon.Zeo® Microtech cartridges designed exclusively for Falmec hoods featuring Circle.Tech perimeter‐suction technology. Each cartridge combines activated charcoal and natural zeolite microspheres embedded in a polyurethane mesh, capturing grease, odors, and moisture. When saturated, simply bake at 110 °C for 60 minutes to restore full adsorption capacity—no disposable filters required.
Carbon.Zeo® Microtech Regenerable Filter – Pair for Circle.Tech Hoods
• SKU / EAN: KACL.1048
• Former Code: KACL.944 (superseded March 2025)
KACL.1048 is a two‐cartridge set of regenerable Carbon.Zeo® Microtech filters specifically engineered for Falmec hoods with Circle.Tech edge‐suction extraction. The unique polyurethane mesh houses a blend of activated charcoal (porous carbon granules) and natural zeolite (microporous mineral) microspheres. This dual‐action media captures up to 95 % of cooking odors, grease particulates, and excess moisture before recirculating clean air back into the kitchen—ideal for installations where ductwork is impractical.
When the hood’s display indicates “CA” (Charcoal Alert), remove both cartridges and bake them in a standard home oven at 110 °C for 60 minutes. Allow them to cool fully before reinserting. Each cartridge can be regenerated 6–8 times, extending service life to approximately 3 years under normal household cooking conditions.

2 × KACL.1048 Carbon.Zeo® Microtech Filter Cartridges
• Each measures 270 × 175 × 15 mm and weighs ~ 1.2 kg. <br>
• Preassembled with activated charcoal + zeolite media in an open‐cell polyurethane mesh.<br>
• No additional frames or housings—designed for direct insertion into Circle.Tech filter compartments.
1 × Regeneration & Installation Guide
• Step‐by‐step instructions for “plug‐and‐play” insertion and oven regeneration.
Tip: If you own multiple Circle.Tech hoods, a single KACL.1048 set will cover two filter slots (one cartridge per slot). Be sure to replace both cartridges simultaneously for balanced airflow.
Regenerable Carbon.Zeo® Microtech Media
Activated Charcoal + Natural Zeolite: Dual‐action adsorption captures grease particles, cooking odors, and excess moisture. Zeolite’s exothermic reaction with water vapor reduces humidity and preserves charcoal performance.
Oven Regeneration: Simply bake at 110 °C for 60 minutes to remove trapped contaminants—no need for costly replacements.
Optimized for Circle.Tech Perimeter Suction
Precisely sized to integrate into Circle.Tech hoods (which draw vapors around the edges), ensuring uniform airflow and maximum pollutant capture across the entire filter surface.
Plug-and-Play Installation
No Tools Required: Slide each cartridge into the hood’s filter compartment until it clicks. Cartridges are keyed to prevent incorrect orientation.
No Extra Frames or Grilles: Eliminates the need for bulky filter frames—supports a minimalist ceiling appearance.
High Adsorption & Low Resistance
The open‐cell polyurethane mesh allows passage of up to 650 m³/h without significant back‐pressure, ensuring the hood’s motor operates efficiently while capturing up to 95 % of airborne contaminants.
Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly
With 6–8 regeneration cycles per cartridge, you reduce waste and save on replacement costs. A three‐year lifespan under normal home use means fewer filter purchases and a smaller environmental footprint.
Easy Maintenance & Long Service Life
Oven-Safe Construction: Place upright on a rack and bake at 110 °C for 60 minutes. Allow to cool fully before handling.
Durable PU Mesh Housing: Resilient to repeated thermal cycles; retains structural integrity over multiple regenerations.
Italian Engineering & Quality
Manufactured in Italy to Falmec’s rigorous quality standards—uniform media distribution, consistent pore size, and precision molding ensure reliable performance and long‐term durability.
Which Falmec hoods require KACL.1048?
• Any Falmec hood featuring Circle.Tech perimeter suction technology, including:
– Vega (Ceiling, 115 cm/Black)
– Vetra (Island/Wall)
– Dama (Island)
– Spazio (Ceiling North America)
– Other Circle.Tech‐equipped models (e.g., Isola, Goia) listed as compatible on Falmec’s accessories page.
How do I install KACL.1048?
Power Off the hood.
Open the filter compartment (refer to your hood’s manual).
Slide each cartridge (arrow pointing airflow direction) into its slot until it clicks.
Close the compartment. The hood is now ready for recirculation mode.
How do I know when to regenerate the filters?
• “CA” (Charcoal Alert) appears on the hood’s display when media adsorption is depleted—typically after 6–12 months, depending on cooking frequency.
How do I regenerate KACL.1048?
Remove both cartridges from the hood when “CA” is displayed.
Preheat a domestic oven to 110 °C.
Place cartridges upright on a wire rack—ensure even heat distribution.
Bake for 60 minutes (do not exceed 120 °C).
Turn off the oven and allow cooling completely (≈ 60 minutes).
Reinsert into the hood’s filter compartment. The “CA” warning resets—media is restored to near‐factory performance.
How often should I regenerate or replace the filters?
• Regenerate when prompted by the hood (≈ every 6 – 12 months of normal home use).
• Replace after 6 – 8 regenerations (≈ 3 years) or when the filter cloth shows irreversible wear or discoloration.
Can I use KACL.1048 in ducted (extracting) mode?
• No. KACL.1048 is designed only for recirculating (filtering) operation on Circle.Tech hoods. When operating in extracting mode, remove both cartridges and run the hood without any Carbon.Zeo® media.
Is KACL.1048 compatible with other brands?
• No. Its dimensions, media composition, and housing fitment are specific to Falmec’s Circle.Tech system. Do not use in non-Falmec hoods.
What is the warranty on KACL.1048?
• 2 Years limited manufacturer warranty when used and maintained according to Falmec guidelines.
