CongratulationstoyournewCookerHood
Thank you for your choice of an Electrolux product. We are convinced that you will have
great use and pleasure from your new cooker hood.
Before you use the cooker hood we recommend that you read through the whole user
manual giving a direct description of the cooker hood and its functions.
To avoid the risks, that are always present when you use a product driven by electricity, it
is important that the cooker hood is installed correctly and that you read the safety instruc-
tions carefully to avoid misuse and hazard.
Save the instruction manual and keep it available at use of the cooker hood
Safety instructions
At installation and service
●The cooker hood is made for normal households
with normal cooking. If it is used for other
purposes there is a risk of damage which is not
covered by the warranty.
●All eventual electric installation has to be
carried out by a qualified electrician. The
installation of the hood should be made by a
person with enough knowledge. Installation
made otherwise could lead to loss of perform-
ance and even injuries and /or damage on
properties.
●The hood cannot be connected to flues of other
appliances that run on energy sources other than
electricity.
Please, keep to the provisions of official direc-
tives regarding the question of fumes discharge.
●When the hood is used at the same time of other
appliances that run on energy sources other than
electricity, provision must be made for an
adequate supply of air.
●When installed, the hood must be not less than
65 cm. above electric burners or 75 cm. above
gas or mixed-fuel burners. (Fig. 3).
●The power cord should be drawn so that there is
no risk of damage. Hazard!
At use of cooker hood
●No food must be cooked flambé underneath the
hood.
●The use of an unprotected flame is dangerous
for the filters and could cause fires.
●Never leave the deep-frying or frying pan over a
cooker/hob. The oil contained in the pan may
spontaneously ignite through overheating.
●Observe the filter change or cleaning intervals.
Failure to observe these intervals may cause the
risk of fire through fat deposition.
Note! If a fire starts; Switch of the cooker hood
and the heating zone; Cover the fire , Never use
water.
At disposal
●Help to avoid damages even when the cooker
hood should be disposed. Disconnect the power
plug and cut the power cord at hood inlet. Check
with the authorities for information of how to
proceed for disposal.

Function
The hood may be used as follows:
- For air exhausting
- For air recycling
Exhausting
The appliance has two exhaust outlets; D and E
(Fig. 2).
Connect the hood to the smoke exhaust hose by
using the connecting ring G with no return valve.
Insert plug H in the unused exhaust hole (bayonet
coupling).
Plug H is for closing the unused hole.
Attention! In the horizontal runs the duct must be
slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards
to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.
The hood cannot be connected to flues
of other appliances that run on
energysources other than electricity.
Recycling
The air is filtered through a carbon filter and
recirculated into the room through the front grid
(fig. 3).
This version is used when there is no exhaust duct
for venting outdoors or when it is impossible to
install one.

recycle is in the position A - external evacua-
tion. (Fig. 8).

Using the hood
The control panel is located on the front part of the
hood.
Speed regulation
The hood has a three speed motor regulated with a
slide switch. For the best performance, we recom-
mend using the highest speed 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.

Maintenance
Work light
The hood has one lamp 40 W (E 14 candle).
Switch on and off with the right slide switch.
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.
Important to know
If the hood is run at the same time as a burner or
fireplace that depend on ambient air (for example
gas, Diesel, coal or wood heaters, water heaters,
etc.) be careful, because the hood, when it exhausts
the air, removes the ambient air required by the
burner or fireplace for combustion.
Not valid if the cooker hood is used in
recirculation mode.
Before performing any maintenance
operation, disconnect the hood from
the electricity.
Grease filter
This serves to hold the grease particles in suspen-
sion. The metal filter should be washed every
month with warm soapy water or, if possible, in the
dishwasher (60°C).
Remove the filter:
●Rotate the latch to open the grid (Fig. 12).
●To remove the grid, pull forward from the left
hand side and unhook.
●Release the clips B that stop the filter (Fig. 12).
Leave to dry before refitting it.
Grid must be cleaned as well as the grease filter.
Carbon filter
This filter dissolves cooking odours.
It should be changed every 4-5 months in normal
use. Ask the technical assistance service or manu-
facturing company for a new one.
The carbon filter must never be washed.
To remove the carbon filter, rotate anticlockwise
(Fig. 9).

tened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid
detergents. Never use products containing
abrasives.
