Safety warnings
For the user
•Thecookerhoodisdesignedtoextractunpleasantodoursfromthe
kitchen, it will not extract steam.
•Alwayscover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from
damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired
cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.
•Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker
undercareful control.
•Thehotoilinthefryingpanmightigniteduetooverheating.
•The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.
•It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.
•Never carry out any flambécooking under the hood.
•Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before
carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the
light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off
theautomatic circuit breaker).
•It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause
grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.
For the installer
•When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mmdiameter hose.
•When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 600 mm
gascookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.
•Thenational standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum
depression of 0.04 bar in such rooms.
•The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion
gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected
toventilation ducts for rooms in whichfuel-burningappliances are
installed.
•The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down
bythe relevant authorities.
•When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large
ventilationhole must be provided, with dimensions thatare
approximately the same as the outlet hole.

57
•Nationaland regional buildingregulationsimpose a number of
restrictionson using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to
a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the
sameroom.
•Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a
chimneyif the room and/or flat (air/environmentcombination)is
ventilatedfrom outside using a suitableventilationhole approximately
500-600cm2 largeto avoid the possibility of a depression being
createdduring operation ofthehood.
•Ifyou have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or
buildinginspector’s office.
•Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of
the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which
is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor
hood.
•If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and
safelyin the above conditions without the need for any of the
aforementionedmeasures.
•When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules
mustbe followed to obtain optimal operation:
—short and straight outlet hose
—keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
—never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always follow
agentlecurve.
—keepthe hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter
as the outlet hole).
•Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performanceand increase the noise levels of theextractorhood.

Description of the Appliance
•The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with
a filtering function by fitting one charcoal filter.
•You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for this function
(Availablefrom your local AEGServiceForce Centre).
Extractor version
•In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose
connected to the coupling ring A, placed in the outlet hole B. Fig. 1.
•Inorder to obtain the best performance the hose should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
•Dependingon your installation the hose can be directed either
towards the ceiling or towards the walls. Fig. 2.

Control Panel
•Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions
anda high speed when odours aremoreconcentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking, you will
then get an under pressure in the kitchen. The hood should be left on
aftercookingforabout15minutesoruntilalltheodourshave
disappeared.
The control switches are located on the unit’s front panel:
•the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off
•the motor switch switchesthe cooking smoke and vapour extractor
motoronandoff,enablingyoutoselectoneofthethree different
speeds.
Thehoodis also equipped with a micro-switch which can be found
underthe lower runner of the visor on the right hand side.
With this micro-switch, the appliance may be automatically switched
on and off by opening and closing the pull-out panel, but only if the fan
speed has already been set and the light button is turned to “I”.

•Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
anddelicate detergents.
•It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
therecommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
•Thepurpose of the grease filters is to aspirategrease particles which
form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the
externalevacuation or internal recyclingfunction.
Attention:themetalgreasefiltersmustberemovedandwashed,
