Safety warnings
for 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, causing a fire hazard.
for kitchen unit installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
150mm 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 465 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.
• The national decree 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.
• 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 rules will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

Introduction
Extractor version
• The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with
a filtering function by fitting one activated carbon filter (special
accessory).
• You will need original AEG carbon filter KLF 60/80 for this function
(see Special Accessories).
• In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose.
• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Filter Version
• The air is filtered using a carbon filter and recirculated into the
kitchen.
• You will need an original AEG KLF60/80 activated carbon filter for
the filtering function. (See Special Accessories).

Hood Operation
• The switches are arranged on the upper right side of the vapour
catcher. (Fig. 1 - E).
The numbers and symbols have the following meanings (from left to
right):
= Continuously variable
blower control
= Intensive setting
= Lighting
= Lighting OFF
= Lighting ON
The blower is controlled by shifting the sliding switch.
The extractor part (vapour catcher) of the hood is used to switch the
blower on and off when the appliance is switched on (Motor).
When the vapour catcher of the appliance is withdrawn (without
preceding disengagement of the hood via the switches), the set fan
output is automatically re-engaged.
If the extractor part is re-inserted without operation of the switches,
first the blower is switched off.
The lighting can be separately switched on and off with the sliding
switch.
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.

Maintenance and care
• The hood must always be disconnected from the mains power
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate grease particles
which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the
external evacuation or internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Open the metal grease filter
• Extract the vapout catcher, remove the rear grease filter pulling the
handle designed for this purpose, then proceed in the same way to
remove the front grease filter. Fig. 2.
Hand washing
• Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a greaseloosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat
the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when it are dry.
Dishwasher machine
• Place grease filters in dish washer. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when it are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discoloration 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).
