The cooker hood can be used :
either as an exhaust air appliance (extraction mode)
or as a return air appliance (recirculation mode)
via a carbon filter (optional extra).
Preparation for installation
Extraction In this mode the fumes are extracted to the outside via a venting
mode hose connected to the coupling ring A, placed in hole B (fig. 1).
Depending on your installation the hose can be directed either
towards the ceiling or towards the walls(fig. 2).
In the extraction mode the outlet venting hose should to be
120mm in diameter, but 100mm or 110mm venting hoses can be
used by inserting the multiconnector flange (fig. 1), supplied with
the hood on the coupling ring A, before connecting the hood to the
outlet venting hose.
If the venting hose runs horizontal it must be slightly slanted
upwards (about 10°) to ensure the air is vented easily from the
kitchen to the outside.
If the hood is to vent out into the open air through an
external wall, you need a telescopic wall box (optional
extra). Wall box and venting hoses are available via your
AEG Stockist or AEG Spare Parts. Flame retardant venting
hose is available in 120 and 100mm diameter. Other flame
retardant materials such as KA piping can be used.
Optimum operation of the cooker hood in the extraction mode is
assured only if the following points afe observed:
- short, straight exhaust air runs
- as few hose bends as possible
- running of the hose in smooth flat arcs not at sharp angles.
- as large as possible hose diameter
Failure to observe these principles will result in serious power
losses and increased operating noise.
In this mode the fumes filter through an active carbon filter
(optional extra) and are returned into the room. ^
To fit the carbon filter remove the grille C by turning locks D and
pull it out downwards (fig. 3). Fit the filter in the seat at the front and
fasten it at the back with the two hooks E (fig. 4). The cover F (fig.
5) must be fitted over the hole B (fig. 1) fixing it with the special
screw provided. This cover deflects the air forwards avoiding
soilage of the rear wall.
Recirculation
mode
Important:
In the extraction mode the exhaust air must not be introduced into
a smoke flue or exhaust gas chimney.Introduction of the exhaust
air into a shaft used for ventilation of the installation spaces of
firerooms is not permitted.
If the exhaust air is introduced into a operational smoke flue or
exhaust gas chimney, it is advisable to seek the advice of a
competent chimney-sweep. The official exhaust air guidance
regulations are to be complied with.
During operation in the extraction mode, an adequate air opening
of approximately the same size as the exhaust air opening should
be ensured.
According to the Provincial Building Regulations, the joint operation
of fume extractor hoods and chimney-linked fireplaces, such as
coal or oil-fired ovens and gas heaters, in the same space is
subject to specific restrictions. In such spaces, the Fireplace
Regulations only allow an underpressure of max. 0.04 mbar. The
safe joint operation of chimney-linked appliances and fume
extractor hoods is only guaranteed if space and/or dwelling
(space/air interaction) are externally vented by a suitable supply
air opening of around 500-600cm2 and an underpressure thereby
avoided when the cooker hood is running. In doubtful cases,
please seek the advice and consent of a competent chimney
sweep or the local building authorities.
Notes prior to
installation
In spaces without a fireplace, the rule is: “Supply an air opening
as large as the exhaust air opening”, the efficiency of the hood in
the extraction mode may be impaired by a greater opening.
Operation of the hood in the recirculation mode in such
circumstances is safe and is not subject to the regulations above.
When installed, the minimum distance from the hob to the
lower edge of the cooker hood must be 65cm for electric hobs
or 75cm in the case of gas or mixed fuel hobs

It is possible to fix the hood in position, if necessary, by only
attaching it to the rear wall.
Proceed as follows:
1. Drill the four holes on the wall as indicated (Fig. 11).
2. Insert the four rawl plugs supplied into these holes.
3. Screw the two mountings hooks into the top two rawl plugs
(Fig. 12).
4. Dismount the spacer M (Fig. 12) from the body of the hood by
unscrewing completely the two spacer fixing screws O and
washers.
5. Fix the base spacer M to the wall (Fig. 12) with the two screws
R 5x45 provided (Fig. 11) using either the long or the short arm,
depending on the depht of the side cupboards.
Do not tighten the screws fully.
6. Fix the hood to the wall by means of the two hooksP previously
mounted, but first move the upper brackets S (Fig. 11) so that
the front panel of the hood, once mounted, will be in line with
the front edge of the cupboard doors. The two upper brackets
S, located at the top rear edge of the hood may be slid
backwards and forwards by loosening its fixing screws T
adjacent to them on the upper hood surface (Fig. 11).
7. Check that the hood is at the right height. Minor height
adjustments may be made with the screws U embodied in the

8. Tighten the two wall fixing screws R, through the two access
holes N provided on the inside of the hood (Fig. 12) then fix the
lower sliding frame to the hood with two screws O and washers
previously unscrewed (item 4).
14
Using the hood
It is advisable to switch on the cooker hood a few minutes before
starting cooking and then to leave it running fot approximately 15
minutes afterwards to ensure that all odours are extracted.
On the front of the appliance there are control switches
(see page 3).
The switch marked with motor symbol controls fan power.
The switch marked with lamp symbol controls the lighting of the
cooking surface.
The hood is also fitted with an automatic micro switch located on
the right hand side behind the visor, the micro switch will switch
the hood OFF, whatever selection is made with the slider switches
when the visor is closed. When the visor is pulled open the hood
will switch ON at its previous setting.
— If the hood is run at the same time as an ambient-air dependent
burner or fireplace (for example gas, diesel, coal or wood
heaters, water heaters, etc.) be careful, because the hood,
when it extracts air, removes the ambient air the burners of
fireplace need for combustion.
For safe operation and to prevent discharged gas from coming
back into the room, make sure there is an air inlet, which may be
provided through air-recycling doors, windows or wall boxes or
by other technical devices.
— No food must be cooked flambé underneath the hood. The
use of an unprotected flame is dangerous for the filters and
could cause a fire. Therefore never use an open flame under
the hood. When frying foods, never leave the pan unattended,
the cooking oil could ignite. If contaminated oil is used,
spontaneaous ignition may occur even more readily.
— The hood must not be connected to fuel exhaust flues
(boilers, heating systems, water heaters, etc.).
— The manufacturers do not accept liability for damage to the
hood or its catching fire because of failure to observe the
above instructions.
Where flexible ducting is fitted 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 air flow.

Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance disconnect the hood
from the electricity supply.
Grease filter
Removing the
grease filter
Carbon filter
The grease filter traps the suspended grease particles, and is
used in the hood regardless of whether the hood is in the
extraction or recirculating mode.
The thin synthetic filter (thickness about 1 mm) is installed inside
the filter grille. It is changed when the top colouring appears on the
bottom, i.e. you can see the colour through the filter grille.
To remove the filter:
a) Remove the filter grille (see fig. 3)
b) Take out the saturated filter after removing the clamps
Z (fig. 13).
c) Fit a new grease filter and replace filter grille.
When replacing the grease filter, also wash the filter grille with
warm water and mild detergent i.e. washing-up liquid.
Replacement grease filters are available from AEG Spare Parts
- Telephone (0753) 872550.
The carbon filter is fitted when the hood is used in the recirculating
mode.
This is not washable and cannot be reused.
The carbon filter should be replaced at least once every four
months.
