ge in transit. Do not under any circum-
stances connect a damaged appliance
to the power supply. Please contact your
supplier if there is any damage.
• Never operate the extractor hood if the
mains cable or the controls are damaged.
• The extractor hood must be correctly in-
stalled and connected. You will find eve-
rything that is necessary in that respect in

expanded polystyrene) can be dangerous
for children. Danger of suffocation!
• Keep all packaging components away
from children.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

have been instructed by him/her in how
the appliance is to be used.
Safety during use
Caution! Parts of the extractor hood may
get hot during operation with cooking
equipment.

used incorrectly or for any purpose other
than the one intended, the manufacturer
can accept no liability for any damage or
loss.
• It is forbidden to flambé below the hood,
whether switched off or on (risk of fire).
• Never operate the extractor hood without
the grease filter when cooking.
• Should the appliance be relocated at a
later date, the precise installation instruc-
tions can be ordered by telephone from
our After Sales department.
• Should you sell or pass on the appliance
to any third party, please ensure that the

new owner can find out how the appliance
functions.
• If the extractor hood is left unattended for
any length of time, such as in the holidays,
please ensure that the appliance is swit-
ched off.
Safety when cleaning
• Clean the grease filter at regular intervals;
excessive contamination can lead to a risk
of fire.
• Maintain and clean the extractor hood re-
gularly in order to avoid expensive service
visits.
• Follow the „Cleaning and Maintenance“
section when doing so.
• For safety reasons it is not permissible to

Before using for the first time
Extractor hood controls
Special accessories
Regeneratable activated carbon filter:
The activated carbon filter must be regenerated before using the appliance for the first
time, as every activated carbon filter absorbs moisture. The moisture must be extracted.
Regeneration of the activated carbon filter:
Lay the filter cassette flat on the oven shelf in
the middle of your oven and heat it up for an
hour at 230 °C. Then allow the filter to cool
down completely for two hours. If the filter is
inserted to soon the extractor hood may be
damaged as a result of the residual heat of
the carbon. The regeneration process may
result in a normal discoloration of the filter.
The filter can then be placed in the extractor
hood again. Your appliance is now ready for
use.
There is a red highlighted sticker for the acti-
vated carbon filter, to help you to remember
to regenerate it every 2 months.
Tip: Stick it to the inside of the herbs and
spices cupboard door.
Always switch the extractor hood on before starting cooking.
Switching on
The fan is automatically switched on by
pulling out the extending hood. The fan
speed can be set by means of the position
of the extending hood (position 2-4).
Switching off
Push in the extending hood as far as it will
go. The fan and the light are switched off.
Light
Pull out the extending hood by a minimum of
1 cm and the light is switched on.
Position Types of cooking
1 Light --
2 low Keeping food warm, poaching, simmering below boiling point
3 medium stewing, steaming, brazing, boiling
4 high parboiling, searing, deep-frying

Cleaning and Maintenance
Beware! Do not use any abrasive clea-
ners, brushes, sponges or scouring
powder.
External cleaning
The external components are to be cleaned
with a microfibre cloth.
When cleaning the exterior, ensure that
the cloth is worked in line with the tex-
ture of the stainless steel surface finish
(the fine horizontal lines).
No circular motions!
Cleaning the metal filters
The fan is running!
Caution! Non-adherence to these
cleaning instructions may result in
a risk of fire!
Removing the metal filters
1. Push the metal filters up at the rear
and pull them out to the front.
Cleaning the metal filters
2. Wash the metal filters every 2 to 4
weeks in the dishwasher, or place
them in washing-up liquid and water,
rinse them with hot water and allow
them to dry completely.
Discoloration of the filters is normal;
this has no effect on their function.

Reinserting the metal filters
3. Lift up the metal filters at the rear and
slot them in place at the front.
Cleaning the filter space
Clean the filter space with a dry piece
of kitchen roll each time the metal filters
are cleaned or replaced.
The fan is running!
Caution! Do not damage or remove the
appliance nameplate.
Regenerating the activated carbon
filter
Handling of the activated carbon fil-
ter according to operating instruc-
tions.

circulating operation.

ter
4. Remove the metal filters.
5. Pull down the activated carbon filter
at the front and remove it.

Regeneration
Moisture and grease particles reduce
the absorbent capacity of the activated
carbon, so it must be regenerated after
2 months at the latest.
3. Lay the filter cassette flat on the oven
shelf in the middle of your oven and
heat it up for an hour at 230 °C.
4. Then allow the filter to cool down
completely for two hours.
The filter can then be placed in the ex-
tractor hood again. Your appliance is
now ready for another 2 months use.
The filter loses its effectiveness after ap-
prox. 4 years, and should then be com-
pletely replaced (it is not possible to refill
the activated carbon).
Inserting the activated carbon filter
5. Push the activated carbon filter into
the brackets in the direction of the
arrow, than fold up at the front until
the springs click in place.
6. Insert metal filter.

electrolux 11
Replacing the halogen bulbs
The extractor hood must be discon-
nected from the mains supply. (Pull
out the plug or switch off the circuit
breaker.)
Caution! All the bulbs become hot; be
careful when replacing them.
Please note that energy-saving halo-
gen bulbs rated at 230 volts up to a
maximum of 25 watts can be used for
this appliance, or especially low-energy
bulbs with a GU10 fitting, rated at 250
volts and 3 to 7 watts (e.g. IP64-rated
LEDs).
Please bear in mind that halogen bulbs
have to be specially disposed of. You
can hand these back at any appropriate
sales outlet.

Installation Instructions
Safety instructions
Caution! The minimum safety gap bet-
ween the hob and the extractor hood
must be 50 cm in the case of electric
hobs, and 70 cm in the case of gas
hobs.
The appliance must be disconnec-
ted from the mains supply when being
serviced; pull out the mains plug. The
general directives for the operation of
electrical appliances, the regulations of
the responsible electricity supply com-
panies and provisions of these installati-
on instructions are to be followed to the
letter.
The incorrect installation of an extractor
hood may lead to a fire. The canton fire
brigade regulations are also to be ob-
served.
The risk-free operation of appliances
(e.g chimney, gas cooker) and extrac-
tor hoods jointly connected to a single
flue is only guaranteed if the room and/
or apartment are ventilated from outside
by means of a suitable air inlet aperture
of approx. 500-600 sq cm, and hence
negative pressure is avoided when the
extractor hood is in operation. The ne-
gative pressure in the room must not be
greater than 4 Pa.
The extracted air has to be drawn off
through a separate pipe to the open air.
It should not be passed into a chimney.
If this principle is not observed, a drastic
loss of performance and increased ope-
rating noise are to be expected.
Installation for exhaust extraction
The vapours occurring above the hob are
cleaned in the grease filters and led via an
exhaust duct into the open air.
