Electrolux EFC 9440 Ventilation Hood User Manual


 
Description of the Appliance
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and
can also be used with a filtering function by
fitting one charcoal filter.
You will need an original charcoal filter for this
function (Available from your local Service
Force Centre).
Extraction
In this version fumes are extracted to the
outside via a hose connected to the coupling
ring. Fig. 1.
In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Recirculation
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen.
You will need an original charcoal filter for the
filtering function. (See Special Accessories).
Coupling ring
Control Panel
Best result are obtained by using a low speed
for normal conditions and a high speed when
odours are more concentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start
cooking, you will then get an under pressure in
the kitchen. The hood should be left on after
cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the
odours have disappeared.
The control switches are located on the units
front panel:
Light switch: this switch is used to turn the
light fitted in the hood on and off.
Extractor fan switch: used to turn the fan off.
Push-button 1: used to set the fan to speed 1.
Push-button 2: used to set the fan to speed 2.
Push-button 3: used to set the fan to speed 3.
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must
be a lower air pressure in the kitchen. It is
important to keep the kitchen windows closed and
have a window in an adjacent room open.
Important:
This is not applicable for recirculation. Great care
must be taken if the hood is used at the same time
as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal or
wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will
expel air which is required by these other
appliances. In this situation, ensure that a window
is open. The negative pressure in the room must
not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being
drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
