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.
