Safety warnings

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.

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.

64

• 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 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 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.

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).

• Y ou will need original AEG 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 noisy .
