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.

3
•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

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, allowing the air to be
expelled through the vents on the side of the chimney.

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.
3. Use the supplied screws (4mm x 40mm) and
wall plugs to attach the mounting bracket to the
wall in the correct position to set the hood height,
ensuring the bracket is kept level. Plate 2 can then
be attached to the wall, ensuring it is directly above
the mounting plate, using the same screws and
wall plugs
4. Install the expansion pipe on the cooker
hood.

8
5. The 2 air flaps should now be
installed, as access is easier
before the unit is wall mounted.
The 2 flaps should be carefully
installed to the top of the hood
unit, bending them slightly so the
lugs at each end locate into the
holes in the outlet vent. When
the unit is in operation the flaps
pivot upwards to allow airflow.
Please note: the small
spindles/lugs at each end of
each flap locate into the holes on
the housing, not the grooves
above them. Once the flaps are
installed the expansion pipe can
be attached to the hood body.
6. Hang the hood onto the mounting
bracket, and then secure to the wall using
the supplied 4mm x 30mm screws and wall
plugs.
7. Install the Plate 1 on to the outer chimney
section using 2 screws (4mm x 8mm), making
sure the outer chimney is free to slide. Then
place the chimney onto the top of the hood. If
externally venting, the expansion pipe should
be routed in its final position.

9
8. Slide the inner
chimney
upwards and
connect it to
Plate 2 using the
two remaining
4mm x 8mm
screws.
Before using the hood, 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.

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the hood, it should be switched off and power removed, by
removing the plug or if the unit has been hardwired, switching off at the pole
switch, to ensure no power is been fed to the unit.
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, as these could scratch or damage the surface.
Note! Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean the hood; electrical components
could be damaged or a short-circuit caused as a result.
Monthly Cleaning for metallic anti-grease filter
ESSENTIAL NOTE: Clean the filter every month, as an excessive build-up of
grease can become a fire hazard. The filter collects grease, smoke and dust
and as such the filter directly affects the efficiency of the cooker hood. If the
filter is not regularly cleaned, the grease residue will saturate on the filter,
which could pose a fire hazard.
Remove the filter and 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
should not be applied neat to the filter. After cleaning, allow the filter to drain
and then dry thoroughly before re fitting.
The grease filter may also be cleaned using a dishwasher on a 60°C program.
It should be placed upright (long side on top) in the lower basket. Please be
aware some dishwasher cleaning agents can permanently discolor the filter,
although this will not affect its performance.
Replacement grease filters are available from the same stockist from which
you purchased the hood using the reference: eiQ3503C (3 required)

11
CARBON FILTER（OPTIONAL）
Activated carbon filters are used to trap odours and must be used if the hood
is not vented to the outside. They are available from the same retailer the
hood was purchased from under reference: eiQCF110
1. Before installing or replacing the carbon filters, please remove power to
the unit.
2. The carbon filters attach to the sides of the motor housing. This can be
accessed by removal of the metal grease filters on the base of the
hood
3. The filter should be attached by locating the centre of the filter on the
peg on the side of the motor housing. The filter should then be twisted
clockwise to lock it into position.
4. Once both carbon filters have been installed, the grease filters can be
reinstalled before power is reconnected to the unit.
NOTE:
•Removal of used carbon filters is the same process as fitting, just
twisting the filter anticlockwise to release them.
•Make sure all filters are securely locked. Otherwise, they could loosen
and cause damage to the unit, or the hob below.
•When the activated carbon filters are attached, the suction power will
be reduced.
•The charcoal filter cannot be washed or recycled. They should be
changed at three to six-month intervals depending on the level of use.
•Replacement filters are available from the stockist you purchased the
hood from under reference:

BULB REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT: The light fitting must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons.
This hood is fitted with LED light units, which under normal operation can
last the lifetime of the hood. In the event that one 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 bulbs have
cooled down before commencing replacement.
1. Remove the grease filter.
2. Use a tool or the hand to press the spring splinter of both sides of LED
light to the inside, until the light is pressed out, see pic 1. Then slightly
pull the light connecting wire out, and dismantle the terminal of the light
connecting wire. See pic 2.
3. Apply the reverse procedure to install the light back.
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.
