Safety warnings
For the user
 The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the
kitchen, it will not extract steam.
 Always co er lighted elements, to pre ent excess heat from
damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired
cookers it is essential to a oid open flames.
 Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker
under careful control.
 The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to o erheating.
 The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.
 It is extremely important to note that o erheating can cause a fire.
Never carry out any flambé cooking 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
the automatic 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.
 The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without super ision.
 Young children should be super ised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before
replacing the lamp to a oid the possibility of electric shock.
For the insta er
Only for model DF6160: when used as an extractor unit, the hood
must be fitted with a 120mm diameter hose.
Only for models DF 6260 - DF 6260-ml/1 and CHDF 6260: when
used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm
diameter hose.
Only for model DF 6260 - DF 6260-ml/1: should there already be a
hose of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls
or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125 mm reduction flange
pro ided. In this case the hood will be slightly more noisy.
When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 465 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 00 mm min.

61
 The national 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
to entilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are
installed.
 The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down
by the rele ant authorities.
 When the unit is used in its extractor ersion, a sufficiently large
entilation hole must be pro ided, with dimensions that are
approximately the same as the outlet hole.
 National and regional building regulations impose a number of
restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to
a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the
same room.
 Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a
chimney if the room and/or flat (air/en ironment combination) is
entilated from outside using a suitable entilation hole approximately
500-600 cm2 large to a oid the possibility of a depression being
created during operation of the hood.
 If you ha e any doubts, contact the rele ant controlling authority or
building inspectors office.
 Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is outlet hole of
the same size as the entilation 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 recirculation function, it will operate simply
and safely in the abo e conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.
 When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules
must be followed to obtain optimal operation:
 short and straight outlet hose
 keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
 ne er install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always follow
a gentle cur e.
 keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter
as the outlet hole).
 Failure to obser e these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise le els of the extractor hood.

62
Description of the Appliance
 The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used in a
recirculation mode by fitting one charcoal filter (a ailable from your
local Ser ice Force Centre).
Extractor version
 In this ersion fumes are extracted to the outside ia a hose.
 In order to obtain the best performance the hose should ha e a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Recircu ation Version
 The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
 You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for the recirculation
function. (A ailable from your local Ser ice Force Centre).

Control Panel
 The switches are mounted on the upper right side of the isor (Fig. 1
- E).
The numbers and symbols ha e the following meanings (from left to
right):
The fan is controlled by mo ing the sliding switch.
The extractor part ( isor) of the hood is used to switch the fan on and
off when the appliance is switched on (Motor).
When the isor of the appliance is withdrawn, the fan automatically
switches on.
If the isor is pushed in without operating the switches, the fan is
switched off.
The lighting can be separately switched on and off with the slide switch.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking then you will
get an underpressure in the kitchen. It should be left on after cooking
for about 15 minutes or until all odours ha e disappeared.

Maintenance and care
The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
 Ne er insert pointed objects in the motors protecti e grid.
 Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Ne er
use caustic detergents or abrasi e brushes or powders.
 Only e er clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
 It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended inter als. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Meta grease fi ter
 The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate grease particles which
form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the
extraction or internal recirculation function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be remo ed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, e ery four weeks.
Open the meta grease fi ter
 Pull out the isor, remo e the rear grease filter pulling the handle
designed for this purpose, then proceed in the same way to remo e
the front grease filter. Fig. 2.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-
loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat
the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in dishwasher. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not ha e any impact
on its performance.
 Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (ne er
use caustic detergents, abrasi e powders or brushes).
Fig. 2

65
Charcoa fi ter
 The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in
the recirculation function.
 To do this you will need an original AEG charcoal filter (a ailable from
your local Ser ice Force Centre).
Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be
cleaned and reacti ated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned
e ery second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day, in
a arage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use
normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash
the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and
later causes bad odours. To reacti ate the carbon, the filter should be
dried in an o en for 10 minutes with a temperature of maximum
100ºC.
After approximately three years of use, the carbon filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
Fitting
1. Pull out the apour catcher (A).
2. Remo e first the rear then the front grease filters.
3. Insert the charcoal filter into the lugs of the frame abo e using the
2 red clips to retain it, press the red clips inwards, and insert the
charcoal filter in the frame. Fig. 3.
Removing:
1. Press both red lugs upwards (towards the inside of the housing)
and remo e the charcoal filter downwards.
2. Clean the internal housing only with warm washing-up liquid suds
(ne er use any abrasi e cleaners, brushes, or scouring agents).
 Always specify the hood model code number and serial number
when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the
registration plate located on the inside of the unit.
 The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Ser ice Force
Centre.
