Safety warnings
For the installer
•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 500 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 800 mm min.
•The national Standard on fuel-burning systems
specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar 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.
•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.
•Nationalandregionalbuilding 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/environmentcombination) 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
controllingauthorityor 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
optimaloperation:
—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.
—keep the hose as large as possible
(preferably the same diameter as the
outlethole).
•Failure to observe these basic instructions will
drastically reduce the performance and increase
the noise levels of the extractor hood.
For the user
•The cooker hood is designed to extract
unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not
extract steam.
•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 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, resulting in a
firehazard.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
•WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is
switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid
the possibility of electric shock.

Description of the Appliance
•The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and
can also be used with a filtering function by
fitting one charcoal filter.
•You will need an original ELECTROLUX
charcoal filter for this function (Available from
your local ELECTROLUX Service Force
Centre).
Extractor version
•In this version fumes are extracted to the
outside via a hose connected to the coupling
ring. Fig. 1.
•In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Fig. 1
Filter Version
•The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen.
•You will need an original ELECTROLUX
charcoal filter for the filtering function. (See
Special Accessories).
•Fix the deflector using 4 screws Ø3.5x9.5 mm.

Control Panel
•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:
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
simultaneouslyandhold
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 the maintenance instructions
for the grease filter.
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
workinghours.
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.

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.
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

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.
Fig. 4
Cleaning the hood
•Clean the outside of the hood using a damp
cloth and a mild detergent.
•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
•The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb
grease particles which form during cooking and
it must always be used, either in the external
extraction or internal recycling 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
•Pull the handles downards, then extract 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 they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. 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 discolouration 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).
•The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any
maintenance work.
Maintenance and care

35
Charcoal filter
•The charcoal filter should only be used if you
want to use the hood in the recirculation
function.
•To do this you will need an original
ELECTROLUX charcoal filter (available from
your local Service Force Centre).
•Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE
carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. At
normal use the filter should be cleaned every
second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours
per day, in avarage). The best way to clean the
filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent
and choose the highest temperature (65ºC).
Wash the filter separately so that no food parts
gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad
odours. To reactivate the carbon, the filter
should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a
temperature of maximum 100ºC.
After approximately three years of use, the
carbon filter should be replaced with a new, as
the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
•Fitting
Remove the frame iwhich supports the filter h
by turning 90°the two knobs g.
Insert the charcoal filter inside the frame and
put all parts back in their place. Fig. 5.
•To remove proceed in the 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 your
local ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.
Changing the light bulb - Fig. 6
•Disconnect the cooker hood from the main
supply.
•Remove the lamp cover, use a screw driver as a
lever.
•Replace the old bulb with a new one of the
same type.
•Refit the lamp cover.
•If the light does not come on, make sure the
bulb has been inserted correctly before
contacting your local Service Force Centre.
