Safety warnings
for user
 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, causing a fire hazard.
for kitchen unit inst ller
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mm diameter hose.
hen 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
gas cookers 700 mm
coal and oil cookers 800 mm min.
The hood can be installed abo e these heights but for optimum
performance it should be installed at the distance quoted for the
appropriate heat source.
 The national decree 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 combus-
tion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be
connected to entilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning
appliances are installed.
 It is ad isable to apply for authorization from the rele ant controlling
authority when connecting the outlet to an unused chimney flue or

66
combustion gas duct.
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 approxi-
mately 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 filtering 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 only
 keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same
diameter as the outlet hole).
 Failure to obser e these basic rules will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise le els of the extractor hood.

Introduction
Extr ctor version
 The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with
a filtering function by fitting one acti ated carbon filter (special
accessory).
 You will need original AEG carbon filter for this function (see
Special Accessories).
 The air is discharged to the outside through a pipe, which must be
fitted to connection flange D. Fig. 1.
 Fix the deflector with two screws Ø3,5x6,5. Fig. 2.

Filter Version
 The air is filtered through an acti ated charcoal filter and returned
to the kitchen through the top grill of the outlet pipe.
 You will need an original AEG acti ated carbon filter for the filtering
function. (See Special Accessories).
 Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 3,5x6.5 mm. Fig. 2.

Hood Operation
 The hood is fitted with one motor ha ing se eral speed. 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. The control
switches are located on the units front panel:
 the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off;
 the motor switch switches the cooking smoke and apour extrac-
tor motor on and off, enabling you to select one of the three
different speeds.

Maintenance and care
The hood must always be disconnected from the mains power
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Met l gre se filter
 The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate grease particles
which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in
the external e acuation or internal recycling 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 met l gre se filter
 Push it towards the back of the unit and then pull it down and
out.Fig. 4.
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 it are
dry.
Dishwasher machine
Place grease filters in dish washer. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when it are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discoloration 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).

C rbon filter
 The carbon filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in
its filtering function.
 To do this you will need an original AEG acti ated carbon filter (see
special accessories).
 This filter cannot be cleaned or reused.
As a general rule, the activated carbon filter should be
changed once every four months.
Mounting  Fig. 5
Fit one carbon filter on the left and one on the right so to co er the
plastic grids that protect the fan wheel, then turn clockwise the
central handle of the carbon filter.
To dismount proceed in re erse order.
 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 acti ated carbon filters can be ordered from the AEG technical
assistance ser ice.
