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 the 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.
• 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 not designed for commercial
use. It should only be used for the purpose it was intended – to extract
vapours and cooking odours.
• There is a potential fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with
the instructions.
• 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”) and replaced as necessary.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances
that only discharge the air back into the room).
• 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 similarly qualified persons 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
• Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
• 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.
• The minimum distance between the surface of the hob and the lowest part
of the hood should be 65cm for electric hobs and 75cm for gas hobs. A
distance of between 65cm and 75cm gives peak efficiency.
4
• If the hood is being installed so that the air is vented outside, there MUST
be adequate ventilation of the room when the hood is used at the same
time as appliances burning gas or other fuels – use of the hood may be
dangerous as it could draw back the fumes from the other appliances which
would otherwise be vented outside. If adequate ventilation can only be
ensured via an open window, a window contact switch should be fitted,
(available from good DIY stores or Builders merchants) which will then
ensure the hood may only be operated when the window is sufficiently
opened. Please note – the above does NOT apply if the hood is only used
in recirculation mode with charcoal filters.
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• 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.
• The installation instructions for range hoods with accessible metallic
enclosures of class II construction shall include details that indicate the
location and maximum permitted lengths for any fixing or mounting screw
or other fixing device that penetrates into the range hood to attach an
accessory such as a facia or duct fitting.
• Where fixing or mounting screws, or other fixing devices are used, that
penetrate into the range hood with an accessible metallic enclosure of class
II construction, to attach an accessory, the instructions shall indicate the
required location of these screws or fixing devices and include the
substance of the following warning.
• 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
• Regarding the instructions for the bulb changing, refer to the section “bulb
changing”. ILCOS D code for this lamp is: DBR-2/65-H.
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 cooling time should be allowed before
touching either the housing or the grease filter(s)

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 everything is there, using the table in the
next section (Product overview – parts supplied).
• Packaging materials should be recycled in accordance with local regulations.

OPTIONS FOR VENTILATION
This hood supports both external venting and recirculation. The type of setup
should be decided before commencing installation.
EXTERNAL VENTING
A 150mm diameter flexible pipe is provided which allows
the cooking odours to be extracted outside. If this is the
chosen installation method a suitable vent pipe should be
purchased (150mm diameter) and consideration to the
route of the vent pipe should be made. The unit is also
provided with an adaptor allowing pre-existing 120mm
ducting to be used to vent the unit.
RECIRCULATION
This Cooker hood also supports the recirculation of the
air once it has passed through the filters. Please note
if setting up the hood for recirculation, there should be
suitable ventilation in the cabinet, to allow the air
extracted to flow back into the room from the cooker
hood.
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.
7
INSTALLATION
1. The cooker hood should be placed at a height of 65-
75cm (26-30inch) from the cooking surface for the
best effect.
2. Cut a hole in the cupboard, with the dimensions of
865 x 265 mm. Make
sure that the edges of the
hole are at least 35mm
from the edges of the
cupboard.
3. Remove the aluminum grease filter from the hood, before removing the four screws
holding the panel in place.
4. Remove the panel from the hood, by removing the 4
screws holding it in place. Disconnect the two wires
running from the led bulbs at their connectors with the
main hood.
5. 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:
6. If venting externally, an exhaust pipe (not supplied) should be placed onto the one-
way-valve, and the vent pipe pushed onto the valve. The adaptor supplied may be
used if connecting to pre-existing ducting with a smaller diameter.
7. Ensure the vent pipe (if used), and power lead are routed into position through the
cabinet, as to make sure they can be connected once the hood is fitted in place, or
in the case of the vent pipe, the opposite end can also be connected at this point.
8
8. Use the supplied screws to fix the hood into the
cabinet.
9. Use the 4 screws previously removed to fix the
panel into body and reattach the aluminum grease
filter
10. Plug in the hood and connect the opposite
end of the vent pipe (if required)

CARBON FILTER (Available Separately)
Activated carbon filters can be used to trap odours, 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 under the following reference: eiqcf110
eiQCF110 (Twin Pack of Carbon Filters)
In order to install the activated carbon filter, the aluminum anti-grease filter should
first be detached. Press the lock and pull it downward.
Put the activated carbon filters into the unit, fix them by turning them clockwise onto
both sides of the motor housing.
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 or six months according to the amount of use the hood receives.
Replacements are available from the retailer you purchased the hood from.

BULB REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT: The light fitting must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons
Your cooker hood is supplied with 2 long life LED light fittings, although these are
designed to have a very long lifespan, should one fail, replacements are available from
the supplier of the hood and the guide below can be followed to replace it.
1. Switch the unit off and make sure it is disconnected from the mains supply.
2. Remove the aluminum grease filter.
3. Unscrew the panel from the main unit using the 4
screws
4. Follow the wire from the light fitting and disconnect it at the connector with the
hood.
5. Remove the light fitting from the
panel by pulling back the 2 spring
clips, and carefully push the fitting out
of the panel.
6. Install the replacement fitting by
feeding the connector through the
panel, and plugging back in to the
connector on the hood, before pulling
back the spring clips and inserting the
new fitting into the cut out in the
panel.
7. Fix the panel back into place using the 4 screws previously removed.
8. The aluminum grease filter can then be refitted.
11
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. Make sure the unit has no power being
fed to it.
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.
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 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 cleaned in a dishwasher 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
affect its performance.
Replacements are available from the retailer the hood was purchased from under
reference: eiQCAN90GF
Replacement for Activated Carbon Filter
These are only required in units that have been installed in recirculation mode. 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.
Replacements are available from the retailer the hood was purchased from under
reference: eiQCF110
