Safety warnings
For the user
The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours
from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
Always cover heating 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.
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 noisier.
When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 300 mm
The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maxi-
mum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.
The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combus-
tion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be
connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning
appliances are installed.
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
3
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 cm2 large to avoid the 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 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.
keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diam-
eter as the outlet hole).
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 efficiency of the hood
and reduce the airflow.
Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

Description of the Appliance
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with
a filtering function by fitting one charcoal filter.
You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for this function
(Available from your local AEG Service Force Centre).
Extractor version
In this version fumes are
extracted to the outside via
a hose connected to the
coupling ring. 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 noisier.

Filter Version
The air is filtered through a
charcoal filter and returned to
the kitchen.
You will need an original AEG
charcoal filter for the filtering
function. (See Special
Accessories).
Fix the deflector using 2 screws

Control Panel
Best results 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 hood operation can be controlled via the control ball or with the
remote control (the remote control is a special accessory and is
ordered separately).
Every change (changing speed, switching on the lights, etc.) is
recognizable from the variation of light emitted by the control ball
and by an acoustic signal.
The control ball is located below on the right side of the cooker hood.
The control ball is also 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).
Flashing red light :
Hood is switched on at intensive power level (timed at 5 minutes)
Flashing green light :
Indicates the grease filter saturation - clean the grease filter
Flashing 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
charcoal filter even if the hood is used in the extractor version and
no charcoal filter is fitted.
In this case, 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 an
audible signal indicates the reset has taken place.
