Safety warnings
for user
• Alwayscoverlightedelements, 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
undercarefulcontrol.
• Thehotoil in the frying pan might ignite duetooverheating.
• 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
theautomatic 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.
for kitchen unit installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mmdiameterhose.
• 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 (Ø 120 mm) which is one of our optional parts.
•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
gascookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.

gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected

• Itisadvisabletoapplyforauthorizationfromtherelevantcontrolling

• Ifyouhaveanydoubts,contactthe relevant controlling authority or
buildinginspector’soffice.
• 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
safelyin the above conditions without the need for any of the
aforementionedmeasures.
• When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules
mustbefollowedtoobtainoptimaloperation:
— 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 Ø min.).
• Failure to observe these basic rules will drastically reduce the
performanceandincreasethenoiselevelsoftheextractorhood.

•Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Theactivatedcarbon filter must normally be replaced at leastonce
every6months.Thisfiltercannotbewashedorregenerated.To
guaranteeproperabsorptionofodourstheworking volume ofthe
activated carbon must be proportionate to the hood air flow. In this
casethehigh quality of the activated carbon will ensureefficient

used normally. For this reason you should always use original AEG
filters only, making sure they are replaced when necessary.
