To Operate

Select the required functions.
The appliance can be installed to
recirculate or extract contaminated air.
The cooker hood is more effective when
used in the extraction mode.

Extraction

In the extraction mode the contaminated
air enters the cooker hood, passes
through the grease fi lter and out through
the ducting to the atmosphere.

Recirculation

In the recirculation mode contaminated
air is passed through the charcoal
fi lters to be purifi ed and recirculated
into the kitchen through a recirculation
grille. Ensure the charcoal fi lters are in
position.

When the ducting mode is selected

the charcoal fi lters are not required.

Never do fl ambé cooking under this

cooker hood.

Never leave frying pans unattended

during use as over-heated fats and
oils can catch fi re.

Do not leave naked fl ames under the

cooker hood.

Ensure heating areas on your hob

are covered with pots and pans
when using the hob and cooker hood
simultaneously.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING electrolux 7

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before carrying out any maintenance

or cleaning isolate the cooker hood
from the mains supply.

The cooker hood must be kept clean,

as a build up of grease or fat can be
a fi re hazard.

The external surfaces of the hood
should be cleaned regularly. Wipe the
cooker hood frequently with warm
soapy water using a mild detergent. Dry
thoroughly after cleaning.

Always wear protective gloves when

cleaning the hood.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive

cleaners.

Never use excessive amounts of wa-

ter when cleaning particularly around
the control panel.

Charcoal Filter

The charcoal fi lters absorb the odours
from cooking. They will slowly become
saturated and gradually less effective.
The charcoal fi lters cannot be cleaned,
we recommend they are replaced every
3-6 months or more often if the hood is
used for more than 3 hours per day.

To Remove/Replace the

Charcoal Filters

1.Remove the lower grille, supporting
the grille with one hand and draw
down on the two grey handles
(located on each side of the grille).

2.The charcoal fi lters are left and right
handed and should be fi tted one at
a time.

3.Insert one end of the fi lter into the
slots in the fan housing then lower the
other end until the tab engages the
slot in the casing.

16 electrolux INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD

INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD

Please ensure that when the
appliance is installed it is easily
accessible to an engineer in the

EN

event of a breakdown.

All installations must comply with the

local authorities requirements for the
discharge of exhaust air.

Incorrect installation may affect the

safety of this cooker hood.

Installation Requirements

Before fi tting the hood beneath

any type of canopy or wall cabinet,
ensure that the housing is fi rmly fi xed
to the wall in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.

If it is necessary to fi x the housing for
the canopy to a hollow construction
plaster or partition board structure then
it should be suffi ciently reinforced to
be quite rigid in the area of the cabinet
housing fi xings.

Clearance Height

The cooker hood is designed to be
fi tted over a cooking appliance at the
clearance heights stated, providing
the maximum output of the appliance
beneath does not exceed the maximums
quoted in the Technical Specifi cations.

If the output of the appliance below the
cooker hood exceeds the maximum
outputs quoted, please refer to the
cooker manufacturer’s installation
instructions.

Clearance Height

A clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ”)
is required when installed above a built­in electric hob, or 700mm (27 1/2 ”)
when installed above a built-in gas hob.

A clearance height of 685mm (27”)
is required when installed above a
slot-in electric cooker, or 787mm (30
1/2 ”) when installed above a slot-in gas
cooker.

Ducting

The ducting must be fi re retardant
125mm (5ins) in diameter and the length
should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
effi ciency of the hood and reduce the
airfl ow.

When installed between adjoining wall
cabinets, the wall cabinets must not
overhang the hob and the distance
between the underside of the cabinet
and the worktop must be 450mm. If
the height of the wall cabinet is less
than 450mm, a gap of 50mm must be
maintained either side of the hob.

electrolux 17

EN

Hob

This cooker hood must not be instal-

led above a cooking appliance with a
high level grill.

Unpacking

The fi ttings supplied to install this cooker
hood can be found with the instruction
book inside the packaging:
120 - 125 mm ducting collar

Fitting the Cooker Hood

into the Housing/Canopy

The hood is fi xed to the housing using
the screw holes located around the
base of the casing. Access to the screw
holes will require the removal of the
metal grille panel.

Positioning the Cooker Hood

Measure the underside of the canopy or
kitchen cabinet to mark the position for
the cut-out. The cut-out measurement
should be:

- 497mm (19 5/8”) wide

- 259mm (10 1/4”) deep

A: Built-in Electric Hob: 650mm clearance
B: Built-in Gas hob: 700mm clearance
C: Slot-in Electric Cooker: 685mm clearance
D: Slot-in Gas Cooker: 787mm clearance

Check the position of the hole is
correct with the measurements
above before making the cut-out.

18 electrolux

The hood is fi xed using the holes
located in the rim around the base of
the casing visible when the inlet grille is
in the open position.

Support the grille panel with one hand

EN

and draw down on the two grey handles
(A) which are located on each side of
the grille with the other hand.

Raise the hood into the cut out and mark
the positions for the fi xing screws. Pilot
drill the fi xing holes and fi t the hood.

Venting

The hood is more effective when used
in the extraction mode (ducted to the
outside). Venting kits maybe purchased
through your retailer or DIY store, and
must be ducted to an outside vent of
125mm (5”) minimum.

The ducting used must be manufac-

tured from fi re retardant material.

When the hood is ducted externally the
charcoal fi lters must be removed.

Recirculation

If you are using the hood for recirculating,
ensure the charcoal fi lters are in position
following the instructions below.

Inserting the Charcoal

Filters

1.Remove the grille panel, support the
grille with one hand and draw down
on the two grey handles (located at
each side of the grille).

2.The charcoal fi lters are handed and
should be fi tted one at a time.

3.Insert one end of the fi lter into the
slots in the fan housing, then lower
the other and until the tab engages
the slot in the casing.

Extraction

The charcoal fi lters are not required in
this mode and should be removed. To
do this reverse the procedure described
in Inserting the ‘Charcoal Filters’.

Ducting

The ducting used must be fi re retardant
125mm (5”) in diameter. If possible
duct through the wall at the rear of the
canopy or wall cabinet. For the best
per for man ce use the shortest possible
duct run and the minimum number
of bends. Where fl exible ducting is
fi tted it should not be turned through
very tight bends as this may impair
the performance of the hood. It is
recommended a maximum length of
3m, to be installed, to be reduced
1m for each 90° bend installed in the
ducting run. If the distance is greater
than 3m the effi ciency of the hood could
be impaired.
A ducting collar of 120-125 mm (5”) is
supplied for attaching to ducting if you
are using the appliance in the extraction
mode.

electrolux 19

EN

If the room where the cooker hood

is to be used contains a fuel burning
appliance such as a central heating
boiler, then its fl ue must be of the
room sealed or balanced fl ue type.

If other types of fl ue or appliances are

fi tted ensure that there is an adequa­te supply of air to the room.

The cooker hood ducting (extraction

version) must never be connected
to central heating fl ues, radiators or
water heaters etc.
