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
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
noisier.
When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers500 mm
gas cookers650 mm
coal and oil cookers700 mm min.
65
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.
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 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.
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.
66
Description of the
Appliance
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit
and can also be used with a filtering
function by fitting one charcoal filter.
You will need an original AEG charcoal
filter for this function (Available from your
local AEG Service Force Centre).
Extraction
In this version fumes are extracted to the
outside via a hose connected to the
coupling ring. 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 noisier.
Recirculation
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen.
You will need an original AEG charcoal filter
for the filtering function. (See Special
Accessories).
Assemble the deflector (3 parts): the three
parts must be fixed with 2 screws Ø 3.5 13
mm, the extension of the deflector is
adjustable and must correspond to the width
of the chimney flue support, to which it must
be fixed.
Fix the deflector using 4 screws Ø 2,9x6.5
mm. Fig. 2.
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.

The control switches are located on the units front panel:
The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent.
Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never
use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
The purpose of the grease filters is to
absorb grease particles which form
during cooking and it must always be
used, either in the external extraction
or internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters
must be removed and washed, either
by hand or in the dishwasher, every
four weeks.
Fig. 4
Removing the metal grease filter
Pull the handles downards, then extract the filter. Fig. 4.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-
loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat
the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
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 charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal 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 charcoal, 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 charcoal 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. 5.
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.
