Safety warnings
For the User
• Thecookerhoodisdesignedtoextract unpleasant odours from the
kitchen, it will not extract steam.
• Alwayscover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damag-
ing 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 under careful control.
• The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.
• 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 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.
For the Installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
150mm diameter hose.
Should there already be a pipe 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 provided. In this case the hood will be
slightlynoisier.
•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
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.
• The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maxi-
mum depression of 0.04 mbar 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 ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning
appliances are installed.

• It is advisable to apply for authorization from the relevant controlling
authority when connecting the outlet to an unused chimney flue or
combustion gas duct.
The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down
by the relevant authorities.
• When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large
ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approxi-
mately 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/environment combination) is
ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approxi-
mately 500-600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression
being created during operation of the hood.
• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant 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 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
safely in the above 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
— never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must
always follow a gentle curve only
— keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diam-
eter as the outlet hole).
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

Description of the Appliance
Extractor version
• The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with
a filtering function by fitting one charcoal filter (special accessory).
• Youwillneedanoriginal AEG charcoal filter for this function (Avail-
ablefrom your local AEG Service Force Centre).
• The air is discharged to the outside through a pipe, which must be
fitted to connection flange A. Fig. 1.
• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
For the extractor version this pipe must have a diameter of 150 mm.
Should there already be a pipe 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 provided. In this case the hood will be
slightlynoisier.

Filter version
• The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the
kitchen through the top grill of the outlet pipe.
• When the hood is used in the filter version it must be fitted with an
originalAEG charcoal filter.
• Fix the deflector using 4 screws Ø 3.5x6.5 mm. Fig. 2.

Hood Operation
• Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions
and a high speed when odours are more concentrated.
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 after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have
disappeared.
The control switches are located on the unit’s front panel:
A- Mainswitch,hoodoff.
B- Start and choice of motor speed 1-2-3-1-2.........
C- Indicates speed 1 (LED).
D- Indicates speed 2 and saturation of the grease filter (LED)
E- Indicates speed 3 and saturation of the charcoal filter (LED)
(flashing LED)
F- Indicates Intensive speed (LED).
G- Intensive speed on/off. The Intensive speed runs for 5 minutes:
If the hood is on when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
reverts to previous speed after 5 minutes.
If the hood is off when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
will be turned off after 5 minutes.
To interrupt the Intensive speed, press button A or B.
H- Light OFF
I- Light ON
Should the hood or the controls fail to operate: disconnect the power
supply for at least 5 seconds, then turn the hood back on again.
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an under
pressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows
closed and have a window in an adjacent room open.
Important
This is 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. In this situa-
tion, ensure that a window is open. The negative pressure in the
room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn
back into the room by the cooker hood.

Control device for grease and charcoal filters
This hood is fitted with a device that signals when it is necessary to
clean the grease filter or the charcoal filter (in the case of recirculation
version with charcoal filter).
On delivery, the hood is not supplied with an charcoal filter, so the
saturation indicator will be disabled.
If the hood is to be used with a charcoal filter, the saturation
indicator light must be enabled as follows:
Press buttons B and G simultaneously and hold them for 3 seconds.
At first only the grease filter LED D will light up, but when the charcoal
filter LED E lights up the saturation indicator will be enabled.
To disable it: Press buttons B and G again simultaneously and hold
them for 3 seconds, until the charcoal filter LED goes out.
Grease filter LED (D)
LED D will start to flash when it is time to clean the grease filter.
Cleaning will be necessary after 40 working hours. Always comply with
themaintenanceinstructionsforthegreasefilter (see page 9).
Charcoal filter LED (E)
The charcoal filter LED E will start to flash when the charcoal filter
needs to be replaced.
This operation is necessary after approximately 160 working hours.
(Pleasesee page 10 for instructions onCleaning/replacing).
Resetting the saturation indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filters, press button A for 3 seconds
until the grease filter LED D or the charcoal filter LED E stops flashing.

Maintenance and care
•The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution.
Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
• Only ever 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 intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
• Thepurpose of the greasefilters is to
absorbgrease particles which form
duringcooking and it must always be
used, either in the external extraction or
internalrecycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must
be removed and washed, either by
hand or in the dishwasher, every four
weeks.
Removing the metal grease filter
• First, push the metal grease filter stop backwards, then extract the
filter, pulling downwards. Fig. 3.
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 the dishwasher. Select the most powerful
washingprogramme and highest temperature,atleast65°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 have any impact
on its performance.
