Safety warnings
For the installer
When used as an extractor unit, the hood must
be fitted with a: EFG 535:100mm diameter hose, EFG 540:120mm diameter hose.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately.
When installing the hood, make sure you
respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 600 mm gas cookers 700 mm coal and oil cookers 800 mm min.
The national Standard on fuel-burning 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 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 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 filtering function, it
will operate simply and safely in the above
2
large to avoid the
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 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
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.
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.

returned to the kitchen. Fig. 2.
You will need original ELECTROLUX

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 control switches are located on the hoods front panel:
