Safety warnings
For the user
The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
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 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 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, resulting in a fire hazard.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

For the installer
Only for model DF6160: when used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 120mm diameter hose.
Only for models DF 6260 - DF 6260-ml/1 and CHDF 6260: when used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose.
Only for model DF 6260 - DF 6260-ml/1: should there already be a hose of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly more noisy.
When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers gas cookers coal and oil cookers
465 mm
650 mm
700 mm min.
The national Standard 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 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 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 approximately
500-600 cm 2 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 inspectors 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 cm 2 , which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood.
If the hood is used in its recirculation 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.
keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole).
Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.
61
Description of the Appliance
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used in a recirculation mode by fitting one charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre).
Extractor version
In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose.
In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Recirculation Version
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for the recirculation function. (Available from your local Service Force Centre).

The fan is controlled by moving the sliding switch.
The extractor part (visor) of the hood is used to switch the fan on and off when the appliance is switched on (Motor).
When the visor of the appliance is withdrawn, the fan automatically switches on.
If the visor is pushed in without operating the switches, the fan is switched off.
The lighting can be separately switched on and off with the slide switch.
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.

Maintenance and care
The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate detergents.
It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
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 extraction or internal recirculation 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
Pull out the visor, remove the rear grease filter pulling the handle designed for this purpose, then proceed in the same way to remove the front grease filter.
Fig. 2 .
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a greaseloosening 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 dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme 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 its performance.
Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
Fig. 2
Charcoal filter
The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function.
To do this you will need an original AEG charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre).
Cleaning/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 (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day, in avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). 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.
