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 cookers 600 mm gas cookers 750 mm coal and oil cookers 800 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 inspector’s office.

• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as

large to avoid the

the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm 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 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.

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.

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 KF20 charcoal filter for the filtering function. (See Special Accessories).

• Fix the deflector using 4screws Ø2,9x6,5mm . Fig. 2.

Control Panel

• Best result 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 unit’s front panel:

• Light switch: this switch is used to turn the light fitted in the hood on and off.

• Extractor fan switch: used to turn the fan off.

• Push-button 1: used to set the fan to speed 1.

• Push-button 2: used to set the fan to speed 2.

• Push-button 3: used to set the fan to speed 3.

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.

Important:

This is not applicable for recirculation. Great care must be taken if the hood is used at the same time as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal or wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will expel air which is required by these other appliances. In this situation, ensure that a window is open. The negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
