standards. Note that the safety devices alone are not capable of
eliminating all accident risks.
It is therefore very important to carefully read all the operating
instructions, recommendations and warnings prior to installation and
use of the appliance. Note in particular the text paragraphs with the
danger triangle design, to avoid damages to persons or objects.
Keep this instruction booklet in a safe place: this booklet should
always accompany the appliance at such time as it is sold or given to
other persons for use.
Installation and service
Any electrical installation of the cooker hood must be carried out by
a qualified electrician and the hood itself must be installed by
someone with experience. Installation made by an unqualified
person can lead to loss of function of the cooker hood and possible
damage to person and and/or property.
The cooker hood must be at least 50 cm above electric hobs or
electric ranges, or at least 65 cm above gas burners or gas ranges.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this has to be taken into account.
Ensure that the power cable is not damaged during installation.
The cooker hood is only in stand by mode unless the plug or the
fuse is disconnected.
The cooker hood cannot be connected to flues of other appliances
50
that run on energy sources other than electricity. Please, keep to the
provisions of official directives regarding fume discharge.
Use of cooker hood
This appliance is for domestic use only in a normal household.
Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat, paraffin or any other
inflammable liquid unattended on the hob. In the event of fire:
Immediately switch off the cooker hood and the cooker. Note! Cover
the fire. Never use water.
Never do any flambé cooking underneath the cooker hood. It can
cause a fire. Remember that overheated fat may spontaneously
ignite. Never leave the frying pan unattended.
It is essential that the grease filter is regularly cleaned to help avoid
fat dripping on to the hot zone and causing a fire. Read the section
on Maintenance and Cleaning in the instruction book.
Disposal
Prevent accidents when disposing of your cooker hood. Disconnect
the power plug from the wall socket and cut the power cord at the
hood inlet.Contact your local authority for information on where to
dispose the cooker hood.

Description of the Appliance
Functions
There are two possible systems:
Extraction of air to the outside using an optional venting kit and
evacuation duct.
Recirculation using an optional charcoal filter.
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.
Accessories
The following are included with the cooker hood:
1 hood canopy complete with controls, lighting and fan motor.
1 telescopic chimney stack formed by: U-shaped upper section and
U-shaped lower section.
1 recirculation spigot.
1 plastic bag containing: 1 wall bracket to fix the hood, rawl plugs,
screws, and documentation.
The following can be ordered from your retailer:
Charcoal filter, Type 20. The charcoal filter is to be used when the
hood is connected to the recirculation mode.
Only for CHDD 8890: The cooker hood is supplied ready for use as
a recirculation hood and may be used for extraction by removing the
charcoal filter which has been fitted inside the cooker hood.
Extractor version
The air is discharged to the outside through a
pipe, which must be fitted to connection flange
A. Fig. 1.
In order to obtain the best performance the
hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet
hole.
Filter Version
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen.
You will need an original AEG charcoal filter
Type 20 for the filtering function.
Optionally, the position of the chimney
elements can be changed.
When using the hood in the filter version the
chimney must be fixed at the top, with the air
outlet grill at the side.

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 (if the hood is used in the
recirculation version with a charcoal filter).
On delivery, the hood is not supplied with a charcoal filter, so the
saturation indicator will be disabled.
If the hood is to be used with a charcoal filter, the saturation
indicator light must be enabled as follows:
Press buttons 4 and 5 simultaneously and hold them for 3 seconds. At
first only the grease filter LED F will illuminate, but when the charcoal
filter LED C illuminates the saturation indicator will be enabled.
To disable it: Press buttons 4 and 5 again simultaneously and hold
them for 3 seconds, until the charcoal filter LED C goes out.
Grease filter LED (F)
LED F 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 (C)
The charcoal filter LED C will start to flash when the charcoal filter
needs to be replaced.
This operation is necessary after approximately 160 working hours.
Resetting the saturation indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filters, press button 1 for 3 seconds until
the grease filter LED F or the charcoal filter LED C stops flashing.
Warning! The resetting of the saturation indicator MUST be done in
stand-by, never disconnect the hood from the mains.
54
Maintenance and care
Disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply prior to cleaning
the appliance, either by removing the plug (if fitted) from the mains or
removing the fuse.
Clean the filter regularly. The grease deposits in the filter and
discharge tube are fire hazards where a hotplate (or another heat
source) is left on by error.
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.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every other
month according to how much the hood is
used.
The cleaner the filters, the more grease they
collect. To remove the filters, Fig. 3:
First of all, push the stop on the metal
grease filter back, and then extract the filter
by pulling downward.
The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the
grease collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a
detergent, or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry before
putting it back. Note that a dishwasher may discolour
the filter.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).

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 AEG 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 (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 temperature
of maximum 100º C.
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 i which 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. 4.
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 AEG Service
Force Centre.
