RANGEHOOD DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION

Pre-installation

Before installing the cooker hood, peel off any protective plastic covering and remove polystyrene from inside behind the fan motor. See Fig. 5 below

Location

The hood is to be mounted on the wall. When installed, the hood must be not less than 60cm above electric burners or 65cm above gas or mixed-fuel burners.

* If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the minimum above, then that shall be the minimum height for installation.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

Step 1. Using a spirit level mark a vertical centre line on the wall where the hood is to be positioned, and a horizontal line at the hood base position. (See Fig. 4, or 5 for relevant model.

NOTE : The height of the underside of the hood body must be a minimum of 600mm* to a maximum height of 800mm .

* If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the minimum above, then that shall be the minimum height for installation.

Step 2. Mark the location for the flue cover wall mounting brackets and rangehood mounting points and anti-tilt fixing points above the hood base using the hood base as a reference point

Step 3. Install flue cover wall mounting brackets with suitable fixings. Install suitable screws for rangehood mounting points (to support a total weight of 30kg) to the wall as marked (Fig. 7)

Step 4. Fix exhaust transition duct using screws supplied (Fig. 8)

Step 5. Hang the body hood on the mounting screws then secure at the anti-tilt locations as indicated in Fig 9

Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode, follow step 14a or 14b below

Step 6a. Recirculating mode (Fig. 10). Using the centre line, secure the recirculating T-piece to the wall with suitable screws/fixings (optional kit AR610RK). Install flexible pipe between T-piece and reducer.

Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flexible pipe to T-piece and reducer (Fig. 12)

NOTE: When installed in recirculating mode, it is recommended to use a carbon filter (included in recirculation kit AR610RK) to prevent odours being emitted back into the room.

Step 6b. Ducted mode (Fig. 11) Fit a 150mm diameter non combustible flue pipe. Continue the centre line to the ceiling. Fit flue pipe to the exhaust transition duct. Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure flue pipe to the transition duct.

Note: For ducted mode we recommend to extend the flue pipe through the roof cladding (with appropriate flashing) to an external roof cowl, venting the exhaust externally.

Some States allow venting into the ceiling cavity, enquiries should be made with the local Government to ensure the installation complies with the regulations.

NOTE: To ensure optimum performance of the rangehood, the use of rigid ducting (optional AR150F) is recommended. The use of bends should be avoided. Rigid flexible ducting is suitable, although loose flexible ducting is unacceptable. All ducting must be fire retardant.

Step 7. Electrical connection

Check that the installation complies with the standards of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the rangehood.

Step 8. Installation of telescopic flue covers

Separate the inner and outer flue covers, and carefully remove the protective coating from both. Carefully reassemble the upper and lower flue covers sections by sliding the inner into the outer flue cover. Carefully lower the assembled upper and lower flue covers onto the top of the rangehood body, and insert the flue cover into the rangehood body approximately 5mm.

Step 9. Fix upper flue cover Fix upper flue cover to the wall mounting bracket with screws supplied. Ensure that the upper section is extended.

WARNING Care must be taken to ensure the screws (supplied in accessories bag) are not cross threaded when attaching the upper flue cover. If installed in recirculating mode, insert the optional carbon filter (included in recirculation kit AR610RK). To complete the cooker hood installation, insert the three filters to the underside of the hood body. Place back edge of filter into position and push up front edge so that the filter clips into place.

Your Electrolux cooker hood is now ready to use.

OPERATION

CONTROL PANEL

• Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated.
• Turn the hood on for a few minutes before you start cooking.
• The hood should be left on for a minimum of 5 minutes after cooking or until all odours have dispersed.
• The control switches are located on the front panel of the unit. See Fig. 16 below.

A. Filter

• This is the indicator/switch to show when the filter needs to be cleaned.
• Once the filters are cleaned the ‘Filter’ alert can be deactivated with a single touch.

B. Timer: Using the Timer

• At the end of cooking, if the timer is switched on, the rangehood will continue to run for an additional 5 to minutes, depending on the selected fan speed.
• The fan speed is reduced in 5 minute increments until the rangehood turns it self OFF.
• If the fan speed is set on high, it will run for 5 minutes then reduce to medium for 5 minutes, then reduce to low for 5 minutes before finally turning it self OFF.
• This should ensure the removal of any odours that remain after cooking.

C. Lights: To switch Lights On and OFF

• Touch the ‘light’ symbol to turn the lights ON.
• Touch the ‘light’ symbol again to turn the lights OFF.

D. Power on/off

E. Fan speed 1: Light frying/boiling

F. Fan speed 2: Frying/wok cooking/heavy boiling

G. Fan speed 3: Grilling, intensive frying and wok cooking

NOTE. This product is fitted with a safety cutout device. If the cooker hood is installed to close to the cooktop, flambe cooking, operating the cooktop without cooking utensils and blocked filters may activate the safety cutout device. If the hood stops during operation, correct the faults and allow time for the safety cutout device to reset, the cooker hood will then function correctly

CARE & MAINTENENCE

CAUTION External surfaces are susceptible to scratches and abrasions, so please follow the cleaning instructions to ensure the best possible result is achieved without damage

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild washing up liquid. Clean stainless steel surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning products that are specifically for use on stainless steel. To ensure the best results also use an even pressure and follow the grain of the stainless steel.
• Use of a soft cloth reduces the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet ensure that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface and apply stainless steel protector to reduce the risk of any surface rust appearing.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits that could cause a fire.

Removing the metal grease filters

Push the grease filter and then pull it down and out

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 they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select the most powerful washing program and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on it’s performance.

NOTE: The metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks

• Clean the inner housing using warm water and grease loosening cleaner (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

Charcoal filter

• The charcol filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function.
• This filter cannot be cleaned or re-used and as a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed once every four months.

Fitting the charcoal filter

• Fit one charcoal filter on the left and one on the right so as to cover the plastic grids that protect the fan wheel. 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 this unit.
• Replacement charcoal filters can be ordered from your local service centre.

CAUTION There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

Changing the LED lamps. If LED lamps need replacing, they must be replaced by lamps as stated in the technical specifications. Ensure that the appliance is switched off before carrying out maintenance to avoid any possibility of electric shock.

*Suitable lamp for replacement
