COOKER HOOD

1 GENERAL
The model you have selected is a decorative suction cooker hood which can also work as
filtering hood.
A SUCTION HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment and then
expels them outside. It is not necessary to use carbon filters for purifying.
A FILTERING HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment, purifies
them by means of carbon filters and then emits the purified air into the same environment. In
this case, the use of carbon filters is absolutely necessary (see FIG.1).
Carbon filters are available separately and can be purchased as optional accessories (see

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES).

2 BEFORE MOUNTING

Before mounting you should be aware of:
2.1) Check that the minimum distances between the lower part of the cooker hood and the
upper part of the cooker is as given in Fig.2:
600 mm if electric cooker (we advice a minimum distance of 700 - 800 mm)
700 mm if gas cooker (we advise a minimum disance of 700 - 800 mm)
distances, the manufacturer declines any responsibility for eventual damages caused
by the hood due to strong heat or damages to property or persons etc. caused
directly or indirectly by any type of malfunctioning breakdown or possible fire (see
FIG.2).
2.2) Arrange for a socket outlet or standard connection to the electric mains;
2.3) if the hood is used as a suction hood, it is necessary to make a hole towards the
outside (i.e. in the open air) for the scavenging of the fumes.
WARNING!
discharge of the hood, when used as a suction hood, to boiler chimneys, gas, fume
or vapour scavenging chimneys or any other duct, even only ventilation ducts, which
have been used or will be used for other devices. Moreover, it is not permitted to
connect the scavenging pipe for fumes in other adjacent rooms or wellholes, or pipes
for fire-fighting devices.
In any case it is necessary to respect all norms concerning scavenging of the air.
Any user who does not adhere to these instructions is risking his own life and the lives of
others. In this case, the manufacturer declines any responsibility (see FIG.3).
2.4) If the hood is used as a suction hood, it is necessary to guarantee enough air-
exchange for instance making a hole for ventilation on the outside wall by qualified
personnel.
In case it is used an ELECTROLUX COOKER HOOD in an low energy consumption
house or in a house with confort air, it is necessary to follow the data of the producer, in
order not to affect the air behaviour in a negative way.
If the cooker is gas, it is not advisable to use the hood at the same time as fireplaces,
furnaces, gas or other fuel stoves, or water heaters which burn up oxygen from the
environment in order to function, and in any case depression in the cooker area must be
below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) and the room must be sufficiently aired.
If in doubt, national and international standards precisely indicate the rules for the state
of art installation of gas systems and for environment air change, to avoid the possibility
of incomplete combustions with the risk of poisonous fumes being emitted (see FIG. 4).
WARNING! If the user decides to install the hood at lower
It is absolutely forbidden for the user to connect the air
