Safety warnings
For the installer
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must
be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.
When installing the hood, make sure you
observe the following minimum distance
from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 500 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.
 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 local
authorities.
 When the unit is used in extraction mode, 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
approximately 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 recirculation mode, 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 extraction mode,
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.
- keep the hose as large as possible
(preferably the same diameter as the outlet
hole).
- the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
efficiency of the hood and reduce the
airflow.
 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 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.
 The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
 Older children must be supervised if using the
appliance.
 Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

Description of the Appliance
The cooker hood is designed to extract
unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will
not extract steam.
 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 charcoal filter for this
function (Available from your local Service
Force Centre).
Only for EFC 980 X/GB - PNC 942 120 786
Attention! This model is already fitted with

Extractor version
 In this version fumes are extracted to the
outside via a hose connected to the coupling
ring.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.
 In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Recirculation Version
 The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen through the front grid.
 You will need an original charcoal filter for this
function (Available from your local Service
Force Centre).
 Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 3x9 mm.
 Optionally, the position of the chimney
elements can be changed.

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 handle downards, then remove the

Charcoal filter
 The charcoal filter is already supplied and
mounted in place.
 The charcoal filter should only be used if you
want to use the hood in the recirculation
function.
Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LON LIFE
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, on avarage). 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 carbon, the filter
should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with
a maximum temperature 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the
carbon filter should be replaced with a new one,
as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.

by turning 90° the two knobs g.
Insert the charcoal filter inside the frame and
put all parts back in their place.
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 Service Force Centre.
Changing the light bulb
 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
