User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX EFP6446X/S

[. . . ] Never leave a hot frying pan under the hood if you have to leave the kitchen. The filter must be cleaned regularly in order to prevent any fat from dropping back down onto hot burners or hotplates, which could start a fire. Also read the chapter entitled "Care and cleaning" in this manual. Installation and appliance care All electrical installation operations must be carried out by a qualified electrician and the hood itself must be installed by a skilled professional. A hood that has been installed by an unqualified person may lead to malfunctioning, and even personal or material damage. [. . . ] No domestic tools should be in the dishwasher when the filter is cleaned, in order to avoid any food particle deposits on the filter that could create additional unpleasant odours. To reactivate the charcoal, just dry the filter inside your oven. Set the oven mode to normal (not to the "Grill" mode), at a maximum temperature of 100° C, and leave the filter inside it for 10 minutes. Read the filter instructions too. Clean the filter regularly. Any oil buildups in the filter or duct could catch fire in the event of overheating. Clean the filter frequently. The cleaner the filter, the lower the fan motor load, which improves ventilation performance. Lowering the front visor Note!Do NOT overload the pull-out glass visor by resting on it or subjecting it to abnormal loads. The front visor can be lowered to facilitate cleaning operations. Push the front visor upwards until it rests against the rear edge (see figure). Lower the visor until it reaches the front edge (see figure). After cleaning, raise the visor; it locks automatically in place as it reaches the rear edge. 2 1 2 1 Filter cleaning Clean the filter once a month or every other month, depending on how often you use the hood. The cleaner the filter, the more it traps oil and fat. Using the handle: push the filter upwards to put it back in its initial position. Pull the front of the filter downwards and pull out from the front. The filter consists of aluminium cables on which the oil and fat deposit. Clean the filter in hot water and some detergent or in your dishwasher. Leave the filter to dry before repositioning it. Please note that the filter colour may fade if it is cleaned in a dishwasher. 35 Replacing the halogen lamp When replacing the light bulb, the hood must be cut off from its electricity supply. Remove the glass cover over the lamp using a small screwdriver (see figure). Remove the blown light bulb and replace it with a new one with the same wattage. Reposition the glass cover and push it firmly into place. Troubleshooting Before calling our service centre Check that the appliance is plugged in properly and check the fuses (on the fuse box of your home). [. . . ] A duct that is too long or not straight enough could cut down hood efficiency by up to fifty percent. Shorten the duct if it is too long and make sure it is as straight as possible. A complete flue kit is sold separately as an optional. The flue duct (A) fits over the hood flue connection ring (B) and is kept securely in place by a collar. [. . . ]
