SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Whilst this product is compliant with all safety requirements,
incorrect or inappropriate use can lead to both personal injury and
potential damage to property. Please read the contents of this
instruction booklet thoroughly before fitting or using this appliance.
• The cooker hood must be installed in accordance with the
installation instructions and all measurements followed.
• All installation work must be carried out by a competent person
or qualified electrician.
• The unit must be connected to an earthed power supply.
• If venting externally, make sure the ducting has no bends
sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the
cooker hood.
• The cooker hood is for domestic use only and is not designed for
commercial use. It should only be used for the purpose it was
intended – to extract vapours and cooking odours.
• Do not flambé or use an open flame under the cooker hood.
• Do not try to use the cooker hood without the grease filters or if
the filters are excessively greasy. They should be cleaned
regularly (see “Maintenance”) or replaced as necessary.
• The extraction fan must be level to avoid grease collection at
one end, as this could cause a potential fire risk.
• Do not leave frying pans unattended during use because
overheated fat or oils might catch fire.
• If the cooker hood is damaged, do not attempt to use it.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance. It is not a toy.
• The plug must be accessible after installation for isolation in
case of an emergency – or an appropriate fused switch if the
unit is hard-wired to the mains via a spur.

4
• The minimum distance between the surface of the hob and the
lowest part of the hood should be at least 65cm. A distance of
between 65cm and 75cm gives peak efficiency.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• When the hood is vented externally and used with appliances
which burn fuel (e.g. gas, oil, wood) the area must be sufficiently
ventilated to ensure safe operation. Fresh air must be allowed to
freely enter the room to prevent a partial vacuum.
• A partial vacuum can starve the heating appliance of oxygen,
impairing combustion. It can also prevent toxic fumes from
leaving the room, or can cause fumes to be sucked into the
room from outside.
• Safe operation is only possible when the partial vacuum within
the working area does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can
be achieved by ensuring air is able to enter the room from
outside through a suitable sized opening which cannot be sealed
during operation. A number of alternative solutions are available
to ensure this. If in any doubt, professional advice should be
sought.
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• There is a potential fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in
accordance with the instructions.
• Clean your appliance periodically by following the method given
in the chapter MAINTENANCE
• If used in recirculation mode, the charcoal filters trap odours and
must be replaced at least once a year depending on how
frequently the cooker hood has been used.
• For safety reasons, please use only the same size of fixing or
mounting screw, which are recommended in this instruction
manual.
• Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in
accordance with these instructions may result in electrical
hazards
CAUTION: Accessible parts of the hood can become
very hot during use with cooking appliances, whether in use
or not, due to heat rising from the hob. Sufficient time
should be allowed for the unit to cool before touching either
the housing or the grease filters

EXTERNAL VENTING
If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be
connected as shown in the diagram using any suitable
extraction duct (enamel, aluminium, flexible pipe or
inflammable material with an interior diameter of 150mm) can
be used.
An adaptor is supplied to enable you to connect your hood to
pre-existing 120mm diameter ducting.
If this is the chosen installation method consideration to the
route of the vent pipe should be made prior to installation.
RECIRCULATION
This cooker hood also supports the recirculation of air once it has
passed through the filters. The filtered air is then expelled
through the vent holes in the side of the chimney.
When setting the unit up in this configuration, carbon filters should
also be used to remove odours from the air. Details of sourcing
and fitting the filters can be found in the Carbon filter section.
When setting up for recirculation the installation instructions should
be followed, but a vent pipe should not be attached, and instead
the air can be routed back into the room through the top of the unit.
UNPACKING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Please take great care when unpacking; a sharp blade should not be used to
open the box, as it may go deep enough inside to damage components.
Components damaged or marked by careless unpacking are not covered
under the guarantee.
• Carefully unpack the contents and check against the section below (Parts)
and the next section (Product overview).
• Packaging materials should be recycled in accordance with local regulations

INSTALLATION
1. Before installation, ensure you have not connected the appliance to the
mains supply.
2. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65~75cm above the
cooking plane for best effect.
Pic 1
3. Install the hanging screw on a suitable place
once the installation height is fixed, and keep it in
line. The fixed position of the inside chimney
bracket is the place of chimney. Also install the
safety hole in the wall. Total drill 8 holes and
insert the Wall plug.
4. Put 2 x Screws (4mm x30mm) into hanging hood
position and keep it away from wall distance 3-4mm,
screw and tighten the bracket onto the wall with the
screws (4mm x 40mm) and wall plugs provided.

5. The 2 x airflaps should be installed at this stage, as access is easier before
the unit is wall mounted. On the top of the Hood Unit itself, where the air outlet
vent is located, the 2 x flaps should be carefully installed, bending very slightly
so the lugs at each end locate into the holes, enabling flaps to pivot upwards
when the unit is in operation, opening up the outlet fully for the air to pass
through. Please note: the small spindles/lugs at each end of each flap locate
into the holes on the housing, not the grooves above them.
6. Hang on the cooker hood on wall.
7. Attach the exhaust pipe onto the one-way-valve as shown below, and fix
the pipe on the valve by cable tie. The adaptor can be used at this stage, if
you already have existing smaller diameter venting in place to connect.

8. Adjust the height of the chimney to
approximately the required height.
Then install plate I on the chimney.
Two screws (4mm x 8mm) are used.
i Put the inner chimney into the outer
chimney. Then pull the inner chimney
upwards. Adjust to reach the
approximate height required. Fine
height adjustment is done later.
ii. Install plate I on the chimney
NOTE: Remember not to fix the screw too tightly, so that later height
adjustment can be done more easily.
9. Fix the chimney set into the chimney bracket
and fix with 2 x Screws (4mmx8mm), then fix
the outer chimney bracket into wall with 2 x
screws (4mm x 40mm), pull out the exhaust
pipe to outside.
10. Pull up the inner chimney and fix it into
inner chimney bracket with 2 x screws (4mm
x 8mm).

11. Take out the Aluminum filter and fix the safety hole with 2 x screws (4mm
x30mm).
PIC 9
12. Before usage, read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V)
and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the identification plate (found inside
the cooker hood) and all the data inside the appliance are exactly the
same as the voltage and frequency in your home. Then plug the power
lead into the power socket (or if connecting directly to the main via a
switched spur, ensure the work is carried out by a competent, qualified
person) and the cooker hood is then ready for use.

CARBON FILTER（OPTIONAL）
Activated carbon filters should be used to trap odours (optional – available
from the same stockist you purchased the hood from) and must be used if the
hood is not vented to the outside. Reference:
eiQCF110 Carbon Filter Pack–fits model eiQCHC60W
In order to install the activated carbon filters, the aluminium filter should be
removed first. Press the lock and pull it downward as below:
Put the activated carbon filter onto the end of the motor unit and turn it in anti-
clockwise direction. Repeat the same on the other side (see diagram)
• NOTE:
• Make sure the filter is securely locked. Otherwise, it could loosen and
cause damage to the unit.
• When the activated carbon filters are attached, the suction power will
be lowered.
• The charcoal filter cannot be washed or recycled. It should be changed
at three or six months according to the amount of use the hood
receives. Replacements are available from the stockist you purchased
the hood from.

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch the unit off and pull out the plug, or switch off at the
relevant mains switch if the unit has been hard-wired in. Make sure the unit
has no power being fed to it.
I. Regular Cleaning
Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household
cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material or a
stiff brush to clean the unit.
Note! Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean the hood; electrical components
could be damaged or short-circuit as a result.
II. Monthly Cleaning for metallic anti-grease filter
ESSENTIAL NOTE: Clean the filter every month; an excessive build-up of
grease can become a fire hazard. The filter collects grease, smoke and
dust…... so the filter directly affects the efficiency of the cooker hood. If it’s not
cleaned, the grease residue (potentially flammable) will saturate on the filter.

13
Remove the filter as shown in the Installation section. Clean it with a soft
nylon brush in a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of washing
up liquid. Washing up liquid alone should not be used. After cleaning, allow
the filter to drain and then dry thoroughly.
The grease filter may also be dishwasher cleaned; using a 60°C programme,
with the filter upright (short sides upright) in the lower basket. Please be
aware some dishwasher cleaning agents can permanently discolour the filter,
though this will not affect its performance.
Replacement grease filters are available from the same stockist from which
you purchased the hood:
60cm models: eiQAL03E860 x 1
III. Replacement for Activated Carbon Filter
These are only required in units that have been installed in recirculation mode
(not vented to the outside). This filter traps odours and must be replaced
ideally every 3-6 months depending on how frequently the cooker hood has
been used. They are not washable or reusable.
eiQCF110 Carbon Filter Pack–fits model eiQCHC60W
IV. Light Replacement
Press the lamp surface and anticlockwise take out the lamp.
Change a new lamp and clockwise fix the lamp back.
Important: The light fitting must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons.
Before changing the bulb, ensure the hood is turned off and the
power is disconnected before attempting to change the bulb.
Wait until the flitting has cooled down before commencing
replacement.
