Safety warnings
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 slightly more noisy.
When installing the hood, make sure you
respect the following minimum distance
from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 500 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.
 The national standard 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 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
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/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 perfor-
mance 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 diameter as the outlet
hole).
 Failure to observe these basic instructions will
drastically reduce the performance and increase
the noise levels of the extractor hood.
for the 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
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.

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).
 You will need original ELECTROLUX charcoal
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.
 In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
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 slightly more noisier.

Fig. 1
Filter Version
 The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen through the top grill of
the outlet pipe.
 You will need an original ELECTROLUX Type
20 charcoal filter for the filtering function. (See
Special Accessories).
 Fix the deflector using 4 screws Ø 2,9x6.5 mm.
Fig. 2.
 Optionally, the position of the chimney elements
can be changed.
When using the hood in the filter version the
chimney must be fixed at the top, with the air
outlet grill at the side.

The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity 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 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
 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 out the spring-lock to release the grease
filter. Fig. 5.
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 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 they 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 detergent
solution only (never use caustic detergents,
abrasive powders or brushes).
Maintenance and care
Warning
 Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning
the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire
hazard. You are therefore strongly
recommended to follow these instructions.
 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 recommendations.

Charcoal filter
 The charcoal filter should only be used if you
want to use the hood in its filtering function.
 To do this you will need an original
ELECTROLUX charcoal filter (see special
accessories).
Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LON LIFE
charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated.
At normal use the filter should be cleaned every
second month. The best way to clean the filter
is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and
choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash
the filter separately so that no food parts gets
stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours.
To reactivate the charcoal, the filter should be
dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a tempera-
ture of maximum 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the
carbon filter should be replaced with a new, as
the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
Mounting
Remove the frame i which supports the filter h
by turning 90° the two knobs g, Fig. 6. Insert
the coal mattress inside the frame and put all
parts back in their place.
To dismount proceed in reverse 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 charcoal filter can be ordered from the
ELECTROLUX technical assistance service.
Changing the light bulb
 Disconnect the cooker hood from the main
supply.
 Remove the lamp cover, use a screw driver as a
lever. Fig. 7.
 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
