Using the cooker hood
The control panel
• Theswitches arearrangedon
the upper right side of the
vapourcatcher. (Fig. 1 - E).
Thenumbers and symbols
havethefollowing meanings
(fromleftto right):
Thebloweris controlled by
shifting the sliding switch.
Theextractorpart (vapour
catcher) of the hood is used to
switch the blower on and off
whenthe appliance is switched
on(Motor).
Whenthe vapour catcher of theapplianceiswithdrawn (without
precedingdisengagementof the hood via the switches), the set fan
outputis automatically re-engaged.
If the extractor part is re-inserted without operation of the switches, first
theblowerisswitched off.
The lighting can be separately switched on and off with the sliding
switch.
Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions
andhigh speed when odoursaremore concentrated. Turn thehoodon
a few minutes before you start cooking then you will get an
underpressureinthekitchen.Itshouldbeleft on after cooking for about
15minutes or until allodourshavedisappeared.
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an underpressure
in the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows closed and
havea window inanadjacent room open.
Important to know
Not applicable for recirculation. Great care must be taken if the hood is
used at the same time as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal or
wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will expel air which is
required by these other appliances. Attend to it by opening a window.

Carbon filter
• The activated carbon filter should only be used if you want to use the
hoodin its filtering function.
• To do this you will need an original AEG activated carbon filter (see
special accessories).
• Thecarbonfilters absorb smells and odours.
•Changing and cleaning the carbon filter - KF 8
Unlikeothercarbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be
cleanedandreactivated.At normal use the filter should be cleaned
every second month. The best way to clean the filter is in the
dishwasher. Use normaldetergentandchoose the highest tempera-
ture (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets
stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the
carbon, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a
temperatureof maximum 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the KF8 filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
•Replacing the carbon filter - KFL 6080
Theactivatedcarbonfiltermustnormallybereplacedat least once
everyyear. Thisfiltercannot bewashedorregenerated.
Toguarantee properabsorptionof odoursthe workingvolumeof the
activatedcarbonmustbeproportionateto the hood air flow. In this
casethehighqualityoftheactivatedcarbonwillensureefficient
odourremovalfor approximately one year,assumingthat the hood is
used normally. For this reason you should always use original AEG
filters only, making sure they are replaced when necessary.
