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 500 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 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 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
2
large to avoid the
2
,
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.
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.

Introduction
0123
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).
Extractor version
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 noisy.

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 ELECTROLUX
KF20 charcoal filter for the filtering
function. (See Special Accessories).
Fix the deflector using 4 screws Ø3,5x9.5 mm.

Hood Operation
Best results are obtained by using a low speed
for normal conditions and high speed when
odours are more concentrated. 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.
The control switches are located on the units
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
