• 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 only — 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. 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 a filter unit (with charcoal filter already supplied and fitted) and can also be used with an extractor function function by removing the charcoal filter. Extractor version • The air is discharged to the outside through a pipe, which must be fitted to connection flange D. Fig. 1. • Remove the grease filters and remove the Charcoal Filter K from its housing by unscrewing the two screws that fix it to the hood. Refit the grease filters. Fig. 2. • 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 more noisy. K Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Filter Version • The air is filtered through an AEG charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen through the top grill of the outlet pipe. • You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for the filtering function. • Fix the deflector E using 2 screws O 3,5x6.5 mm. Fig. 3. • Fix the connection flange G using 2 screws O 3,5x6.5 mm. Fig. 3. E G Fig. 3 Hood Operation • 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 hood operation may be controlled via the control switches or with the remote control The control switches are located on lower side of the chimney. 1 - Hood OFF. 2 -Decreases the speed 3 -Hood ON, Increases the speed 4 -5’/15’ (minutes) timer push once for 5’ timer, twice for 15’ timer, 3 times to turn the timer OFF 5 -Filter reset 6 -Light ON/OFF F -Saturated filter indicator light -BUTTON 4: Activates and deactivates the timer.
