Original activated carbon filter for Miele hood Miele 11762650

The original Miele Active AirClean activated carbon filter, part number 11762650 (DKF 25-P), is designed for DA 60×6 W, 6796 W, 699x W and 769x W range hoods operating in recirculation mode. The filter absorbs and neutralizes cooking odors before the air is returned to the kitchen, ensuring clean, fresh air. Original Miele product for perfect fit and maximum efficiency.

The hood operates in recirculation mode – the filter is the heart of the system. When there is no external outlet to the outside, the polluted air passes through the activated carbon, is cleaned of odors, and is returned to the kitchen. When the filter is saturated – the odors return to you instead of being absorbed. DKF 25-P is the original filter that Miele designed for these hoods – no approximate measurements, no “one size fits all”.

A moment before ordering – safety above all! Non-original parts may cause damage to the hood's performance and unfiltered air. Now click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and the system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for you.

Why don't cooking smells dissipate even when the range hood is on?

In most cases, the cause is a saturated charcoal filter that no longer filters. A recirculation hood exhausts the air through the activated charcoal, rather than out through a duct. When the charcoal is full, odors simply pass through it and are returned to the kitchen. The DKF 25-P restores the hood to its full filtering capacity.

Frying smells, cooking fish, spicy foods – activated carbon is the only way to neutralize them in the circulation. The experience of our team of technicians shows that most customers who call about a “non-working hood” – discover that the last filter was replaced two years ago or more. A simple replacement of the DKF 25-P solved the problem without a service call at all.

💡 Tip from the experts

In our experience, 70% of customers who call about kitchen odors find that the filter has not been replaced in the last 12 months. Miele recommends replacing it every 4-6 months, but in an active kitchen where you cook every day, it is worth keeping a spare filter. Activated carbon is not “washed” or “refreshed” – once it is saturated, the filtering ability disappears completely. Even a new hood will not filter odors without a proper filter.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the charcoal filter suitable for a hood that works with an external outlet (through a duct to the outside)?

No – a charcoal filter is only needed in internal circulation mode. If your hood exhausts the air out through a duct – a charcoal filter is not needed at all, and it is not located inside the hood. Check what mode the hood is set to before ordering.

How often do you replace the DKF 25-P?

Miele recommends replacing every 4-6 months . In a kitchen where you cook frequently, with a lot of frying and smelly foods – every 4 months. In a kitchen with moderate use – up to 6 months. Saturated activated carbon cannot be cleaned or put into the oven – it is intended for single use.

Will a non-genuine replacement filter work just as well?

Not necessarily. Non-original filters may not sit properly in the frame, create flow resistance that causes increased noise and strain on the motor, and most importantly – filter less effectively. The original DKF 25-P was designed for these specific hoods and meets Miele standards for maximum filtration.
