Safety warnings
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.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before
replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
For the installer
When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mm diameter hose.
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 800 mm min.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum
depression of 0.04 bar in such rooms.
55
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 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 inspectors 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 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
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used in a
recirculation mode by fitting one charcoal filter (available from your
local Service Force Centre).
Extractor version
In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose. Fig. 1.
In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Fig. 1
Recirculation Version
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for the recirculation
function. (Available from your local Service Force Centre).

Control Panel
Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions
and high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood
on a few minutes before you start cooking then you will get an
underpressure in the kitchen. It should be left on after cooking for
about 15 minutes or until all odours have disappeared.
The switches are mounted on the upper right side of the visor
the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off
the motor switch switches the motor on and off, enabling you to
select one of the three different speeds.
