Falmec KACL.928 Carbon.Zeo Filter (Horizontal Outlet)
Regenerable activated‐carbon + zeolite filter designed as a spare part for Falmec horizontal‐outlet hoods equipped with a filter unit (KACL.939#BF). Its honeycomb polyurethane mesh, impregnated with Carbon.Zeo microspheres, maximizes odour adsorption while preserving airflow—ideal for recirculation (filtering) mode without external ducting.
Filter Spare Part Carbon.Zeo (Horizontal Outlet)
• SKU: KACL.928
• EAN: 8034122710440
The KACL.928 is a regenerable Carbon.Zeo Microtech filter insert specifically engineered for Falmec built-in or ceiling hoods that have a horizontal outlet and use the KACL.939#BF filter‐unit kit. Rather than venting cooking fumes outside, this filter converts a compatible hood into a recirculation system that:
Maximizes Odour & Moisture Capture
Utilizes a three‐dimensional polyurethane honeycomb matrix impregnated with activated carbon + zeolite microspheres (Microtech structure), which offers a vastly increased adsorption surface area compared to traditional flat charcoal blocks—capturing VOCs, cooking odours, and excess humidity with maximum efficiency.
Is Fully Regenerable & Cost-Effective
Simply hand-wash under warm water (no detergents) every 6 months (or sooner if odours return), then air-dry; the Carbon.Zeo microspheres and polyurethane framework remain intact, providing indefinite performance without disposable replacements.
Preserves 95 %+ Airflow
The open‐cell honeycomb design minimizes pressure drop, retaining nearly 95 % of the hood’s nominal extraction capacity, ensuring strong suction even in recirculation mode.
Plug-and-Play Ease
Precisely matches the filter unit recess of Falmec horizontal‐outlet hoods (using KACL.939#BF). No adapters or modifications are required: simply slide the filter into place.
Whether you live in an apartment where external venting is prohibited or you simply prefer a silent, ductless solution, KACL.928 delivers near-ducted‐mode odour control and airflow.

Superior Odour & Humidity Adsorption
Activated Carbon + Zeolite Microspheres: Each microsphere adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and cooking odours more effectively than conventional charcoal blocks.
Open-Cell Polyurethane Honeycomb: Provides a 3D reticular structure, maximizing contact surface area for rapid adsorption of odours and moisture.
Regenerable & Sustainable
Wash & Reuse: Simply rinse under warm tap water every 6 months (no soap or detergents), then air-dry fully. The Carbon.Zeo Microtech filter preserves its high adsorption capacity indefinitely.
Cost Savings: Eliminates recurring replacement costs—one filter can last for years if maintained properly.
Minimal Airflow Restriction
The honeycomb design ensures a minimal pressure drop—preserving ≥ 95 % of the hood’s nominal airflow capacity, so suction power remains strong even in filtering mode.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Precisely fits the KACL.939#BF horizontal filter unit kit. Slide into the cassette recess; no tools or adapters needed.
Lightweight (0.6 kg) and easy to handle—quick swap-out whenever regeneration is required.
Works with Horizontal Duct Hoods
Designed for Falmec hoods that use KACL.939#BF (horizontal outlet filter unit kit), ensuring a sealed fit and seamless integration.
Enhanced Noise Control (in Recirculation Mode)
When paired with KACL.939#BF’s silencing pipe segment, KACL.928 helps maintain noise levels within 2 dB(A) of ducted operation—ideal for open-plan living areas.
Durable, Hygienic Materials
Polyurethane Mesh: Resists humidity and corrosion—no risk of bacterial growth if fully air-dried before reuse.
Natural Minerals: Activated carbon and zeolite are safe in food-prep areas; no chemical binders are present.
Which hoods require KACL.928?
– Any Falmec hood with a horizontal outlet that uses the KACL.939#BF filter-unit kit. Common compatible models include built-in (under-cabinet) hoods or certain ceiling hoods up to 100 cm that cannot duct externally and rely on horizontal recirculation.
How do I regenerate (wash) the filter?
Remove the filter from the KACL.939#BF unit by sliding it out of the honeycomb cassette.
Rinse thoroughly under warm tap water (no detergents) for 1–2 minutes, massaging the mesh lightly to dislodge captured grease and odours.
Shake off excess water and lay the filter flat to air-dry completely (12–24 hours).
Reinstall once fully dry.
– Regenerate at least every 6 months or sooner if you notice lingering cooking odours.
How long does KACL.928 last?
– Indefinite Lifespan: The Carbon.Zeo microspheres and polyurethane mesh do not degrade with washing. If cared for properly, the filter can last many years without needing replacement.
Does KACL.928 reduce suction power?
– Its open-cell honeycomb structure creates a minimal pressure drop, retaining ≥ 95 % of nominal airflow when clean—ensuring robust recirculation performance.
Can I wash the filter in a dishwasher?
– No. Always hand-wash under warm water. Dishwasher detergents, high temperatures, and concentrated jets can damage the polyurethane mesh and degrade adsorption performance.
Is the filter effective in steam-heavy kitchens?
– Yes. Zeolite’s strong hygroscopic properties enable it to capture excess moisture from steam cooking. Just ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling to prevent mold or odor.
What if my hood is not fitted with KACL.939#BF?
– KACL.928 is exclusively a spare element for the KACL.939#BF horizontal-outlet filter unit. If your hood uses a different filter cassette (e.g., ceiling-mount or vertical outlet), select the corresponding Carbon.Zeo model (e.g., KACL.1049 for ceiling hoods ≤ 100 cm).
What is the warranty?
– 2 Years limited warranty when used with qualifying Falmec hood and KACL.939#BF filter unit.
Ductless Apartment Installations: Ideal for renters or condos where drilling for external vents is prohibited—KACL.928 transforms your hood into a fully self-contained recirculation system, removing odours without outside ducting.
Open-Plan Living: Combine with KACL.939#BF’s silencing pipe to keep kitchen noise under 50 dB(A) at low speeds—perfect for conversation in adjacent dining or living areas.
Steam-Heavy Cooking: Sous-vide, wok stir-fries, or steam ovens generate high humidity; the zeolite component traps excess moisture, preventing condensation buildup and preserving a fresh kitchen environment.
Eco-Conscious Homes: Washing and reusing KACL.928 instead of replacing disposable filters reduces landfill waste—one filter can last indefinitely when maintained.
Minimalist Aesthetic: The filter is completely hidden behind the hood’s underside, preserving a clean, uncluttered look with no visible charcoal blocks or bulky filter canisters.
Weekend Entertainers: During large gatherings or multi-course dinners, KACL.928 neutralizes lingering odours, ensuring your entire home remains fresh even after hours of cooking.
👉 Ensure your Falmec hood performs at its best—replace or regenerate the Carbon.Zeo filter (KACL.928) for optimal odour removal and near-ducted airflow in recirculation mode.
