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 reason, 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

OPTIONS FOR VENTILATION
This hood can be set up for either external venting or recirculation of the air. The type of setup
should be decided before commencing installation.
EXTERNAL VENTING
If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be
connected as shown in the diagram using the flexible exhaust
pipe (supplied). Alternatively any suitable extraction duct
(enamel, aluminium, flexible pipe or inflammable material
with an interior diameter of 150mm) can be used.
An adaptor is also 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 odors 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 the 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 next section (Product overview –
parts supplied)
•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 70~80cm
above the cooking plane for best effect.
3. Drill 3 holes to accommodate the wall bracket.
Screw and tighten the wall bracket onto the wall with
the screws (4mm x 30 mm) and wall plugs provided.
4. Hang the appliance onto the wall
bracket.
5. Remove the grease filter
and fix the appliance using 2
screws (4mm x 30mm).

6. Plate I and II are used to fix the chimney onto the wall.
Put the inner chimney into the outer chimney. Mark
the position for plate II. Then pull the inner chimney
upwards to the desired height, and mark the position
of plate I.
7. Drill holes to accommodate plate
I & II, and insert wall plugs.
8. Fix plate II on the wall using two
screws (4mm x 30mm).
9. The 2 x air flaps 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:

10.Put the chimney onto the cooker hood. Attach plate II onto the outer chimney. Lift the
inner chimney to the desired height, and attach plate I onto it.
There are two methods for attaching the plates to the chimney after the plates have been
attached to the wall.
a. Fix the plates to the wall using two screws (4mm x 30mm) and wall plugs. Hang the
chimney on the plates using the hooks in the side of the chimney. (Pic 1)
b. Fix the plates to the wall using two screws (4mm x 30mm) and wall plugs. Attach
the chimney to the bracket using a screw at either side (Pic 2)
11.Fix the lower chimney on the cooker hood by 2
screws (4x8mm)
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
mains 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 can be used to trap odours (optional) –and must be used if the hood is
not vented to the outside. They are available from the same stockist you purchased the hood
from.
Part Number: eiQTMCARBONCHIM (Carbon Filter Pack of 2)
In order to install the activated carbon filter, the metallic anti-grease filter should be detached
first. Press the lock and pull it downward.
Put the activated carbon filter into the unit, fix it by
turning it clockwise at each end of the motor (see
diagram below)
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 filters cannot be washed or recycled. They should be changed at three to
six month intervals depending on the amount of use the hood receives. Replacements
are available from the stockist you purchased the hood from.
eiQTMCARBONCHIM (Carbon Filter Pack of 2 –fits both 60cm and 90cm models)

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.
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 program, 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 affects its performance.
Replacement grease filters are available from the same stockist from which you purchased the
hood:
60cm models: eiQTMGREASE1 x 2
90cm models: eIQTMGREASE2 x 3
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.
eIQTMCARBONCHIM (Carbon Filter Pack of 2 –fits both 60cm and 90cm models)

13
IV. LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
This hood is fitted with an LED light unit, which under normal operation can last the lifetime of
the hood. In the event that it does fail, replacement light units are available from the same
retailer the hood was purchased from.
Before changing the fitting, ensure the hood is turned off and the power is removed by either
unplugging the unit or switching off at the pole switch (if installed) before attempting to
change the bulb. Wait until the filling has cooled down before commencing replacement.
1. Remove the aluminum grease filter from the hood.
2. Locate the top of the light fitting and squeeze the spring
clips, while pushing the fitting out of the base of the
hood.
3. Follow the wire from the light unit and find the power
connector on the lead.
4. Disconnect the power connector from it, ensuring the light
fitting is not allowed to fall from the unit
5. Replace with a new light unit, which after connecting the electrical connection, should be
pushed into position on the base of the hood.
6. Refit the aluminum grease filters.
Important
•If a bulb is found to be defective, it should be replaced immediately.
•Always switch off the electricity supply before carrying out any operations on the
appliance. When handling the bulb, make sure it has completely cooled down before any
direct contact to hands.
