Safety warnings
For the installer
When used as an extractor unit, the hood must
be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and
must be purchased separately.
When installing the hood, make sure you
respect the following minimum distance
from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric hobs 500 mm
gas hobs 650 mm
The hood can be installed above these heights
but for optimum performance it should be
installed at the distance quoted for the
appropriate heat source.
The national Standard on fuel-burning systems
specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar 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.
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.

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 charcoal filter for this
function (Available from your local Service
Force Centre).
Only for EFC 9408
Attention! This model is already fitted with
charcoal filter.
Extractor version
In this version fumes are extracted to the
outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring
A. Fig. 1.
In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Fig. 1
Filter Version
The air is filtered through an charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen through the top grill of
the outlet pipe.
You will need an original charcoal filter for the
filtering function. (See Special Accessories).
Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 2,9x13 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.

Control Panel
Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more
concentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking, you will then get an under pressure in the kitchen.
The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The
control switches are located on the units front panel:
EFC 9404-6404-9408
A - Mains switch, OFF.
B - Start and choice of motor speed 1-2-3-1-2.........
C - Indicates speed 1 (LED).
D - Indicates speed 2 (LED)
E - Indicates speed 3 (LED)
F - Indicates Intensive speed (LED).
G - Intensive speed on/off. The Intensive speed runs for 5 minutes:
If the hood is on when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood reverts to previous speed after 5
minutes.
If the hood is off when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood will be turned off after 5 minutes.
To interrupt the Intensive speed, press button A or B.
H - Light ON/OFF
Should the hood or the controls fail to operate: disconnect the power supply for at least 5 seconds, then turn the
hood back on again.
EFC 9412 - EFC 6412
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.

Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the
kitchen windows closed and have a window in an adjacent room open.
