This manual explains the proper use of your new Electrolux
rangehood. Please read this manual carefully before using
the product. This manual should be kept in a safe place for
handy reference.
This rangehood is a domestic appliance which has
been manufactured and tested to comply with Australian
and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.31.
CAUTION!
Meanings of symbols used in this manual are shown below:
This symbol indicates never to do thisThis symbol indicates always do this
CAUTION!
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid an electric
shock or fire.
Young children should be supervised to ensure they
do not play with the rangehood.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Ensure the rangehood is switched off before carrying
out maintenance, to avoid any possibility of electric
shock.
Never carry out flambé cooking under the rangehood.
This rangehood is not recommended for barbecues.
This rangehood cannot be installed for external use.
Grease filters must be removed every four weeks
(maximum) for cleaning to reduce the risk of fire.
The exhaust from the rangehood must not be
discharged into any heating flue, which may carry
combustion products from other sources. (Fig. 1)
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity,
unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.
There must be adequate ventilation of the room when
the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
Always cover lit gas burners with pots or pans when
rangehood is in use.
Always switch off gas burners before you remove pots
or pans.
Do not leave lit gas burners exposed due to the risk
of fire. (Fig. 2)
Electrical connection
Check that the mains voltage matches with the voltage
on the data plate inside the rangehood. Check that the
installation complies with standards of local building, gas
and electrical authorities. Before connecting to the mains
supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate inside the rangehood.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Safety warnings – for the installer
When installing the rangehood, make sure you
adhere to the minimum and maximum distances from
the rangehood base to the hob surface (as shown on
page 6).
Exhaust flue installation:
The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain
optimal air extraction.
drastically reduce the performance and increase the
noise levels of the rangehood.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity,
unless the cavity is designed for that purpose.
The exhaust from the rangehood must not be discharged
into any heating flue, which may carry combustion
products from other sources.
NOTE: Some installations may require the telescopic
exhaust cover to be cut to length. Cut with sharp tin
snips or a fine-tooth hack saw blade, taking care not to
distort or dent the exhaust cover.

RANGEHOOD INSTALLATION

1. Using a spirit level mark a vertical centre line on
the wall where the rangehood is to be positioned, and
a horizontal line at the base position (refer Fig. A).
NOTE: The height of the underside of the rangehood
body must be a minimum of 650mm* to a maximum
height of 800mm.
* If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance
than the minimum above, then that shall be the minimum
height for installation.
2. Mark the location for flue cover wall mounting
brackets, rangehood mounting points and anti-tilt
fixing points above the rangehood using the
base as the reference point (Fig. A).

points (to support a total weight of 30kg) to the wall as
marked (Fig. B).

Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode,
follow step 6a or 6b below.
6a. Recirculating mode (Fig. D). Using the centre line,
secure the recirculating T-piece to the wall with suitable
screws/fixings (optional kit AR610RK). Install flexible
pipe between T-piece and the exhaust transition duct.
Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flexible
pipe to T-piece and transition duct (Fig. F).
NOTE: When installed in recirculating mode, it is
recommended to use a carbon
lter (included in
recirculation kit AR610RK) to prevent odours being
emitted back into the room.
6b. Ducted mode (Fig E.) The rangehood can be
conducted with a non-combustible ue pipe (rigid or
exible - not included) and duct transition piece.
Continue the centre line to the ceiling. Fit preferred
ue pipe to the fan transition duct (Fig.F). Use cable
ties or suitable duct tape to secure exible pipe to
the transiton duct.
Fig. F
NOTE: For ducted mode
, we recommend extending
e pipe through the roof to external “china hat” to vent
exhaust externally. We do not recommend venting into
ceiling cavity.
NOTE: To ensure optimum performance of the
rangehood, the use of rigid ducting is recommended.
The use of bends should be avoided. Rigid exible
ducting is suitable, although loose exible ducting is
unacceptable. All ducting must be re retardant.
Electrical connection
Check that the installation complies with the standards
of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before
connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate
inside the rangehood.

FLUE COVER INSTALLATION
Separate the inner and outer flue covers, and carefully
remove the protective coating from both. Carefully
reassemble the upper and lower flue covers sections by
sliding the inner into the outer flue cover. Carefully lower
the assembled upper and lower flue covers onto the
top of the rangehood body, and insert the flue cover
in approximately 5mm. Fix upper flue cover to the wall
mounting bracket with screws supplied. Ensure that
the upper section is extended.
IMPORTANT!
Care must be taken to ensure the screws are not cross
threaded when attaching the upper flue cover.
If installed in recirculating mode, insert the optional carbon
filter (included in recirculation kit AR610RK).
To complete the rangehood installation, insert the three
filters to the underside of the rangehood body. Place back
edge of filter into position and push up front edge so that
the filter clips into place. Your Electrolux rangehood is now
ready to use.

Stainless steel surface
Clean stainless steel surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning
products that are specifically for use on stainless steel.
To ensure best results also use an even pressure and
follow the grain of the stainless steel. Use of a soft cloth
reduces the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet ensure
that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface
again reducing the risk of any surface rust appearing.
Control panel surface
The control panel can be cleaned using warm soapy
water. Ensure the cloth is well wrung before cleaning.
Use a dry soft cloth to remove any excess moisture left
after cleaning.
Cleaning grease filters
The mesh filters can be cleaned by hand in warm soapy
water. Soak in warm water and some washing up liquid.
For stubborn grease stains use a soft nylon brush to help
remove these stains. After cleaning ensure that the filters
are completely dry before refitting.
CHANGING THE HALOGEN LAMPS
Ensure lamp is cool before removing.
To remove the lamp, apply pressure to the lamp and turn
anti-clockwise to unscrew and remove. Replace the lamp
with one of similar type and voltage.

and abrasions, so please follow the cleaning
instructions to ensure the best possible result is
achieved without damage.
• These instructions must be followed to aviod a
risk of fire.

NOTE: This product is tted with a safety cut-out device.
• If the cooker hood is installed too close to the cooktop,
flambé cooking, operating the cooktop without
cooking utensils and blocked filters may activate the
safety cut-out device. If the cooker hood stops during
operation, correct the faults and allow time for the
safety cut-out device to reset, the cooke
then function correctly.
