Before you use the cooker hood we recommend that you read through the whole user manual giving a direct
description of the cooker hood and its functions.
To avoid the risks, that are always present when you use a product driven by electricity, it is important that the
cooker hood is installed correctly and that you read the safety instructions carefully to avoid misuse and hazard.
Save the instruction manual and keep it available at use of the cooker hood

Safety warnings
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 more noisy.
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.
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.
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 cm
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
2
large to avoid the
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 instructions will
drastically reduce the performance and increase
the noise levels of the extractor hood.
for the 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, resulting in a
fire hazard.

Description of the appliance
Extractor version
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and
can also be used with a filtering function by
fitting one charcoal filter (special accessory).
You will need original ELECTROLUX charcoal
filter for this function (see Special Accessories).
The air is discharged to the outside through a
pipe, which must be fitted to connection flange
D. 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 more noisier.
D
Filter Version
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen through the top grill of
the outlet pipe.
You will need an original ELECTROLUX Type
20 charcoal filter for the filtering function. (See
Special Accessories).
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.

Control Panel - EFC 6940-6941
The hood is fitted with one motor having several speed. 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:
The hood operation may be controlled via the control ball or with the remote control (the remote control is a
special accessory and is ordered separately).
Every status change (changing speed, switching on the lights, etc.) and is recognizable from the variation of
light emitted by the control ball and by an acoustic signal.
The control ball serves also as a light signal :
No signal :
The hood is switched off.
Static green light :
Hood is switched on at power level 1
(minimum).
Static orange light :
Hood is switched on at power level 2 (medium).
Static red light :
Hood is switched on at power level 3
(maximum).
Alternating red light :
Hood is switched on at intensive power level
(timed at 5 minutes)
Alternating green light :
Indicates the grease filter saturation - clean the
grease filter
Alternating orange light :
Indicates the charcoal filter saturation - clean
or replace the charcoal filter
Attention!
The control Ball flashes orange to indicate the
saturation of the odor filter even when the
charcoal filter is not installed inside the cooker
hood.
However perform the signal reset operation as
follows: select the intensive speed (the control
ball lights up with a red flashing light), depress
again and hold depressed for about 3 seconds
until a bip sound indicates the reset.
depress towards
the right to switch
on the hood
depress towards
the left to switch
on the light.

Control device for grease or
charcoal filter
The air duct, in this hood, is provided with a device
that signals when the filter requires cleaning or
changing .
Led signal for grease filter
The LED signal flickers (flickering green light)
when the grease filter requires cleaning, occurs at
about 40 operating hours.
Carefully note the device for grease filter
maintenance!
Led signal for charcoal filter
The LED signal flickers (flickering orange light)
when the grease filter requires cleaning, occurs at
about 160 operating hours.
Carefully note the device for charcoal filter
maintenance!
Switching on the hood - Fig. 3
The control ball is a balancer switch.
Depressing the control ball repeatedly towards the
right switches on the hood and you may select the
suction level desired, depressing once again on the
right the hood switches off.
Switching on the light - Fig. 3
Depress the control ball towards the left :
once for submersed lighting,
once again for full lighting,
depress again to switch off the light.
Resetting the saturation
indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filter, select the
intensive speed (the control ball lights up with a red
flashing light), depress again and hold depressed
for about 3 seconds until a bip sound indicates the
reset.
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
