Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately. sure · When installing the hood, make sure you observe the following minimum from distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 500 mm gas cookers 700 mm If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to. · The national Standard on fuelburning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms. · 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. · The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant local authorities. · When the unit is used in extraction mode, 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 fuelburning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil roomheaters 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 approximately 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 recirculation mode, 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 extraction mode, 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. - keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole). - the length should be no more than: 3 metres with one 90° bend 2 metres with two 90° bends Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow. · Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood. electrolux description of the appliance 7 Description of the Appliance GB · The hood is supplied exclusively for functioning as a filtering version apparatus. · The fumes and steam are aspirated, filtered and returned into the kitchen. · It is possible to purchase a telescopic flue to convert the hood from "filtering version hood" to "aspiration version hood", (see "special accessories" chapter) and therefore convey the steam and smells outside. 8 electrolux electrolux control panel Control Panel GB · Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated.
