Safety warnings
For the user
•The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
•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.
•Older children must be supervised if using the appliance.

For the installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the GB hood must be fitted with a hose
having preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately.
•When installing the hood, make sure you observe the following minimum
distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces:
electric cookers |
450 mm |
gas cookers |
650 mm |
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
•The national Standard on fuelburning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar 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.
•The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant local authorities.
•When the unit is used in extraction mode, 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 fuelburning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil roomheaters 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 inspector’s 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 recirculation mode, 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 extraction mode, 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 diameter 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 cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
•The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.
•Only for EFC 90680: The cooker hood is supplied ready for use as a recirculation hood and may be used for extraction by removing the charcoal filters.
Extraction mode
•In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring.
•In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Recirculation mode
•The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
•You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).
EFC 6680: 2 charcoal filters
EFC 9680-90680: 4 charcoal filters

•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.
The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared.
•The hood can also be commanded from the control panel or the remote control. (the remote control is a special accessory and is ordered separately).
•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.

Maintenance and Care
GB
•Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Metal grease filter
•The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal re-circulation function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every 4 weeks.
The front panels should also be washed by hand every 4 weeks using a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use aggressive detergents.
•To access the grease filter, first remove the front panels which conceal the grease filter.
Removing the front panels:
Pull the two upper panels and the two lower panels firmly outwards.
Do not remove the central panel as doing so may damage the cooker hood controls and its electronic circuits. Perform these steps in the reverse order when reassembling the appliance
and fix the panel pins into the retaining springs on the cooker
12 electrolux maintenance and care
hod.
GB
For efficient suction performance, replace the panels in accordance with the contours of the cooker hood.
Removing the metal grease filter
•Use the spring handle and remove the filter downward.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance.
•Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only(never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
Charcoal filter
•The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in recirculation mode.
•To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre).
•Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated.
With normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day,on avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new one, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
