Safety warnings
For kitchen unit installer
Attention: The air outlet must not be connected
to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The
air outlet must under no circumstances be
connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in
which fuel-burning appliances are installed.
•When used as an extractor unit, the hood
must be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose.
•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 750 mm
coal and oil cookers 850 mm min.
•If the cooker hood is operating in the suction
version concurrently to other combustion
appliances you will need to ensure that the
depression in the environment of these instal-
lations does not exceed the 4PA (4x10-5 bar).
•The air outlet must not be connected to
chimney flues or combustion 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.
•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 func-
tion, 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 (prefer-
ably the same diameter as the outlet hole).
•Failure to observe these basic rules will
drastically reduce the performance and
increase the noise levels of the extractor
hood.
For user
•Always cover lighted elements, to prevent
excess heat from damaging 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 over-
heating can cause a fire.
•Never carry out any flambécooking 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.

34
Mounting of grease filters
Attention! The grease filters are supplied not
mounted and packed in order to avoid damages
during transport of the hood.
•Fit the pins of the filter on the slots of the
grease filter housing, then use the handles of
the filter to lock them.
Dismount the filter the opposite way.
•Pull the handles backwards to loosen the
filter (Fig. 1).
Function
The hood may be used as follows:
- Extractor version
- Filter version
Extractor version
The air is vented outdoors by a duct (A -
Ø150 mm - Fig. 2) which must be connected
to connecting ring on top of the motor pack-
age.
Filter version
The air is filtered through an activated charcoal
filter and returned to the kitchen through the top
grill of the outlet pipe (fig. 3).
This version is used when there is no exhaust
duct for venting outdoors or when it is impossi-
ble to install one.

Using the hood
The hood has one variable speed motor. For the
best performance, we recommend using the low
speeds in normal conditions and the high
speeds in particular cases of strong odour and
vapour concentration.
We recommend starting up the hood a few
minutes before cooking and keeping it running
until all the odours have been eliminated.

This speed should be used when the
concentration of cooking fumes or odours
is particularly strong (for example when
frying, cooking fish etc.).
The fast speed will run for about 5 min-
utes and then return to the speed previ-
ously set automatically (1, 2 or 3), or
switch off if no speed was selected. To
turn off the fast speed, before the end of
the 5 minutes, press button Aor button B.
H–OFF lamp button

If the hood fails to operate correctly, briefly
disconnect it from the mains power supply for
almost 5 sec. by pulling out the plug. Then plug
it in again and try once more before contacting
the Technical Assistance Service.
Control devices for the grease
filter and carbon filter
This hood has a device which warns you when
to clean the grease filter or replace the carbon
filter (in the case of the air recircultion version).
This hood is delivered without a carbon filter.
For this reason the warning signal to replace the
carbon filter is not connected.
If the hood will be used for recirculation of air,
with carbon filter, the warning signal have to be
connected as follows: Press the buttons Band G
at the same time for about 3 seconds. The LED
marked F lights up.
When the LED marked Clights up, the warning
signal is connected.
To disconnect the warning signal, press the
buttons Band Gat the same time for about 3
seconds until the LED marked Cgoes out.
Grease filter saturation led
The LED marked Fwarns you when the grease
filter needs to be cleaned.
This LED flashes to warn you that the grease
filters must be cleaned.
Generally, these must be cleaned after 40 hours
of use.
Read the maintenance instructions provided for
the grease filters.
Carbon filter saturation led
The LED marked Cindicates carbon filter needs
to be replaced.
This must be done after approximately 160
hours of use.
Read the instructions provided for replacing the
carbon filter.
To restore the LED for the filter
warnings.
After cleaning of the grease filter and exchange
of the carbon filter, press button Afor about 3
seconds until the LED Fstops flashing.
Correct ventilation
To have the cooker hood working correctly
the windows in the kitchen should be closed.
In stead a window in an adjacent room
should be open.

The hood must always be disconnected
from the mains power supply before
beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning
•Warning: always disconnect the hood from
the mains power supply before cleaning it.
Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s
protective grid.
•Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate
detergent solution. Never use caustic deter-
gents or abrasive brushes or powders.
•Only ever clean the switch panel and filter
grille using a damp cloth and delicate deter-
gents.
•It is extremely important to clean the unit and
change the filters at the recommended inter-
vals. Failure to do so will cause grease depos-
its to build up that could constitute a fire
hazard.
Metal grease 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 evacuation or internal recycling
function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be
removed and washed, either by hand or in
the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Open the metal grease filter
•Pull the handles backwards to loosen the
filter. 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 have any impact on
its performance.
•Clean the inner housing using a hot deter-
gent solution only (never use caustic deter-
gents, abrasive powders or brushes).
Maintenance
Warning
•Failure to observe the instructions on clean-
ing the unit and changing the filters will
cause a fire hazard. You are therefore
strongly recommended to follow these in-
structions.
•The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for any damage to the motor or any fire
damage linked to inappropriate maintenance
or failure to observe the above safety recom-
mendations.

Changing the light bulb
•Disconnect the cooker hood from the main
supply.
•Remove the lamp cover, use a screw driver as
a lever. Fig. 6.
•Replace the old bulb with a new one of the
same type.
•Remount the lamp cover.
•If the light does not come on, make sure the
bulb has been inserted in correctly before
contacting the technical assistance service.
Carbon filter
The active carbon filter absorbs the cooking
vapors formed in the kitchen.
Normally the filter should be replaced once a
year. The active carbon filter should not be
washed under any circumstances. In order to
substitute the filter remove the screws (fig. 5)
and slide the filter downwards.
Note: the activated carbon filter must normally
be replaced at least once a year. This filter
cannot be washed or regenerated. To guarantee
proper absorption of odours the working vol-
ume of the activated carbon must be proportion-
ate to the hood air flow. In this case the high
quality of the activated carbon will ensure
efficient odour removal for approximately one
year, assuming that the hood is used normally.
For this reason you should always use original
Electrolux filters only, making sure they are
replaced when necessary.

Damages, faults and eventually missing details
should immediately be reported to the seller.
Take care of the packing material so that small
children cannot play with it.
Placement
The hood is to be mounted on the wall.
When installed, the hood must be not less than
60 cm. above electric burners or 75 cm. above
gas or mixed-fuel burners (fig. 7).
Electrical connection
The hood has a power cord with moulded plug
with earth connection to be connected to a wall
outlet of 230 V.
The power outlet should be pre-mounted in
such a way that the power cord is invisible
when the hood is fully mounted.
The power cord length is 1,25 m.
Safety warnings for the electrician
