This appliance is to be used solely as a household appliance. It has been manufactured according to the
international safety and quality standards. Note that the safety devices alone are not capable of eliminating all
accident risks.
It is therefore very important to carefully read all the operating instructions, recommendations and warnings prior
to installation and use of the appliance. Note in particular the text paragraphs with the danger triangle design, to
avoid damages to persons or objects.
Keep this instruction booklet in a safe place: this booklet should always accompany the appliance at such time
as it is sold or given to other persons for use.
Installation and service
Any electrical installation of the cooker hood
must be carried out by a qualified electrician
and the hood itself must be installed by someone
with experience. Installation made by an
unqualified person can lead to loss of function of
the cooker hood and possible damage to person
and and/or property.
The cooker hood must be at least 60 cm above
electric hobs or electric ranges, or at least 70
cm above gas burners or gas ranges.
The hood can be installed above these heights
but for optimum performance it should be
installed at the distance quoted for the appropriate heat source.
Ensure that the power cable is not damaged
during installation.
The cooker hood is only in stand by mode unless
the plug or the fuse is disconnected.
The cooker hood cannot be connected to flues
of other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity. Please, keep to the
provisions of official directives regarding fume
discharge.
Use of cooker hood
This appliance is for domestic use only in a
normal household.
Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat,
paraffin or any other inflammable liquid
unattended on the hob. In the event of fire:
Immediately switch off the cooker hood and the
cooker. Note! Cover the fire. Never use
water.
Never do any flambé cooking underneath the
cooker hood. It can cause a fire. Remember
that overheated fat may spontaneously ignite.
Never leave the frying pan unattended.
It is essential that the grease filter is regularly
cleaned to help avoid fat dripping on to the hot
zone and causing a fire. Read the section on
Maintenance and Cleaning in the instruction
book.
Disposal
Prevent accidents when disposing of your
cooker hood. Disconnect the power plug from
the wall socket and cut the power cord at the
hood inlet.Contact your local authority for
information on where to dispose the cooker
hood.

Description of the cooker hood
Functions
There are two possible systems:
Extraction of air to the outside using an optional
venting kit and evacuation duct.
Recirculation using an optional charcoal filter.
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.
Accessories
The following are included with the cooker hood:
1 hood canopy complete with controls, lighting
and fan motor.
1 telescopic chimney stack formed by: U-
shaped upper section and U-shaped lower
section.
1 recirculation spigot.
1 plastic bag containing: 2 wall hooks to fix the
canopy hood, 1 wall bracket to fix the chimney,
rawl plugs, screws, and documentation.
The following can be ordered from your retailer:
Charcoal filter, Type 29.
The carbon filter is to be used when the hood is
connected to the recirculation mode.
A
Extractor version
The air is discharged to the outside through a
pipe, which must be fitted to connection flange
A. Fig. 1.
In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Filter Version
The air is filtered through an charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen through the top grill of
the outlet pipe.
You will need an original Type 29 charcoal filter
for the filtering function. (See Special
Accessories).
Fix the deflector using 4 screw Ø 2,9x13 mm.

Using the cooker hood
The hood is fitted with one motor having several
speed.Best results are obtained by using a low
speed for normal conditions and high speed
when odours are more concentrated. Turn the
hood on a few minutes before you start cooking
then you will get an underpressure in the
kitchen. It should be left on after cooking for
about 15 minutes or until all odours have
disappeared.
The control switches are located on the units
front panel:
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must
be an underpressure in the kitchen. It is important
to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a
window in an adjacent room open.
Important to know
Not applicable for recirculation. Great care must be
taken if the hood is used at the same time as a
burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal or wood
Light switch
heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will expel
air which is required by these other appliances.
Attend to it by opening a window. The negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to
prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by
the cooker hood.
Motor switch
Maintenance and cleaning
Disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply prior to cleaning the appliance, either by removing the
plug from the mains or removing the fuse.
Clean the filter regularly. The grease deposits in the filter and discharge tube are fire hazards where a
hotplate (or another heat source) is left on by error.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth
and a mild detergent.
Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable
cleaning products.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every other month
according to how much the hood is used.
The cleaner the filters, the more grease they
collect. To remove the filters, Fig. 3:
First of all, push the stop on the metal grease
filter back, and then extract the filter by pulling
downward.
The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the
grease collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a
detergent, or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry
before putting it back. Note that a dishwasher may
discolour the filter.

Charcoal filter
The charcoal filter should only be used if you
want to use the hood in the recirculation
function.
To do this you will need an original
ELECTROLUX charcoal filter (available from
your local Service Force Centre).
This filter cannot be cleaned or reused.
As a general rule, the activated charcoal
filter should be changed once every four
months.
Fitting Fig. 4
Fit one charcoal filter on the left and one on the
right so to cover the plastic grids that protect the
fan wheel, check that the pins R on the
