for kitchen unit installer
●When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mm diameter hose.
●If the fumes must be forced out through the wall, you must obtain a
MKZ sizable wall exhaust pipe (with external exhaust and air
intake), E-Nr.- 610 899 004 (Ø120 mm) which is one of our optio-
nal parts.
●When installing the hood, make sure you respect the follow-
ing minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/
ring surfaces:
electric cookers 600 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.
Safety warnings
for user
●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 flambécooking 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, causing a fire hazard.
58
●The national decree on fuel-burning systems specifies a
maximum depression of 0.04 bar in such rooms.
●The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or
combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circum-
stances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which
fuel-burning appliances are installed.
●It is advisable to apply for authorization from the relevant
controlling authority when connecting the outlet to an
unused chimney flue or combustion gas duct.
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 approxi-
mately 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 filtering function, 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 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 (120 mm Ømin.).
●Failure to observe these basic rules will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

Introduction
Extractor version
lThe hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with
a filtering function by fitting one activated carbon filter (special
accessory).
lYou will need original AEG activated carbon filter for this function
(see Special Accessories).
lThe unit features two outlet holes, one of which Ais located on the
top of the unit while the other Bis located on the rear.
lTo connect up the hose, you should first fit the bayonet-mounting
flange C(Ø120 mm) on the outlet required (if using the top outlet, fix
the flange in place using the screw supplied as shown in Fig. 1).
Close off the unused hole using the bayonet fitting caps D.

lWarning! If is decided to use the rear outlet hole B, first remove
the sponge Ethat closes that hole. Fig. 2.
Filter Version
lThe air is filtered and recirculated
through the front grid.

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 control switches are located on the unit’s front panel:
A: Main switch, hood on/off.
B: Start and choice of motor speed 1-2-3-1-2.........
C: Indicates speed 1 (LED).
D: Indicates speed 2 (LED).
E: Indicates speed 3 (LED).
F: Indicates Intensive speed (LED).
G: Intensive speed on/off. The Intensive speed runs for 5 minutes:
- If the hood is on when the Intensive speed is activated, the
hood revert to previous speed after 5 minutes.
- If the hood is off when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
will automaticly be turned off after 5 minutes.
To interrupt the Intensive speed, press button A or B.
H: Light on/off.
Shouldthehoodorthecontrolsfailtooperate:disconnectthepowersupply
for at least 5 seconds, then turn the hood back on again.

Maintenance and care
●The hood must always be disconnected from the mains
power supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Metal grease filter
●The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate grease particles
which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in
the external evacuation or internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Open the metal grease filter
lFirst of all, push the stop Qon the metal grease filter Nback, and
then extract the filter by pulling downward. Fig. 4.
Dishwasher machine
Place grease filters in dish washer. Select most powerful
washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C.
Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when it are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a
slight discoloration of the filter can occur, this does not have
any impact on its performance.
●Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only
(never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or
brushes).
Fig. 4
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 it are dry.

Carbon filter
●The activated carbon filter should only be used if you want to use
the hood in its filtering function.
●To do this you will need an original AEG activated carbon filter (see
special accessories).
lCleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be
cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned
every second month. The best way to clean the filter is in the
dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest tempe-
rature (65ºC). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets
stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the
carbon, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a
temperature of maximum 100ºC.
After approximately three years of use, the carbon filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be
reduced.
lMounting
Remove the grease filters and fit one LONG LIFE carbon filter S
on the rear side of each grease filter, fix each with two metal wires
Z. Fig. 5.
●To dismount proceed in reverse order.
●Always specify the hood model code number and serial number
when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the
registration plate located on the inside of the unit.
●The activated carbon filter can be ordered from the AEG technical
assistance service.
