SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Whilst this product complies with all safety requirements, incorrect
or inappropriate use can lead to personal injury and potential
damage to property. Please read the contents of this instruction
booklet thoroughly before fitting or using this cooker hood.
⚫ The cooker hood must be installed in accordance with the
installation instructions provided, making sure all measurements
and guidance are followed.
⚫ All installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician
or a competent person.
⚫ If venting externally, make sure the ducting has no bends
sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency and
performance 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 supplied grease
filters, or if the filters are excessively greasy. The filters should
be cleaned regularly following the guidance provided, and
replaced if necessary.
⚫ Clean your appliance regularly, by following the method
provided in this manual. Failing to maintain the unit would
increase the risk of fire.
⚫ Do not discharge the air into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from other appliances burning gas or other fuels.
⚫ 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.
3
⚫ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified person in
order to avoid an accident.
⚫ We advise this cooker hood should not be used by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or by those who lack experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision and instruction on how
to use the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
⚫ Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking
appliances.
⚫ This cooker hood is not a toy and children should be supervised
to ensure they do not play with it.
⚫ The plug must be accessible after installation in case you need
to isolate it in an emergency. If the unit is hard-wired to the
mains via a spur, a fused switch should be installed and
accessible for it.
⚫ The minimum distance between the hob surface and the lowest
part of the hood should be at least 65cm. A distance of between
70cm and 80cm gives peak efficiency.
⚫ The room MUST be adequately ventilated when the hood is in
use.
⚫ 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.
CAUTION: Accessible parts of the hood can become
very hot during use with cooking appliances, even when not in
use, due to heat rising from the hob. Sufficient cooling time
should be allowed before touching either the housing or the
grease filters.

OPTIONS FOR VENTILATION
6
This hood supports both external venting or recirculation. The type of setup
should be decided before commencing installation.
EXTERNAL VENTING
A flexible pipe is provided which allows the
cooking odours to be extracted outside. If
this is the chosen installation method
consideration to the route of the vent pipe
should be made. The mounting plate
contains a hole allowing the vent pipe to
be connected and routed through the ceiling.
If a vent pipe is to run through the ceiling a hole with a diameter of around
170mm should be made in the ceiling before installation. This would allow the
vent pipe to run through the mounting plate.
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.
7
STANDARD HEIGHT INSTALLATION
Do not connect the hood to the mains supply before installing it.
1. Position the hanging plate on the ceiling
and then mark the position of the screw
holes with a pencil.
Securely fix the hanging plate to the ceiling,
using the 11 x ST4 (30 mm) screws.
Please ensure that the bracket is fixed in a
way it would support the weight of the hood.
Depending on the construction of the ceiling, alternative fixings may be
required. 6 x expansion bolts are also provided to allow fitting to concrete.
2. Fix the angle bars to the hanging plate, using
the 8 x M5 screws.
3. Extend the angle bars to the required height
and then fix them in position using the 16 x M5
screws. The angle bars must have an overlap
of at least 100mm.
4. At this point, if the unit is to be externally vented
connect the ducting hose to the hanging plate. Then fix
the upper chimney section to the hanging plate, using
the 4 x self tapping screws (4mm x 6mm).
Slide the lower chimney section onto the angle bars and
raise it until it sits just below the upper chimney section.
Use the hanging hook to temporarily keep the lower
chimney section in this position, to make sure that it
does not drop down whilst fixing the main body of the
hood to the angle bars.
8
5. On the top of the hood unit, where the air outlet vent is located, the 2 x air
flaps should be carefully installed, bending very slightly so the lugs at each
end fit into the holes This enables the 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 fit into the holes
on the housing, not the grooves above them:
6. Lift the main body of the cooker hood
onto the angle bar and then fix it into
position using the 16 x M5 screws.
IMPORTANT:
This stage of the installation process
MUST be completed by two people, as one
person must support the weight of the hood
until all 16 of the M4 screws have been
securely tightened.
8. The unit should then be connected to a suitable power source, either by
using the supplied plug, or hardwiring the unit into a spur. Please note if hard
wiring the unit, a suitable switch should be fitted in a conveniently accessible
position.
9. Remove the hanging hook and
then slide the lower chimney section
downwards, until it rests against the
main body of the cooker hood.

ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION FOR MINIMUM CHIMNEY
LENGTH
Do not connect the hood to the mains supply before installing it.
1. Position the hanging plate on the ceiling
and then mark the position of the screw
holes with a pencil.
Securely fix the hanging plate to the ceiling,
using the 11 x ST4 (30 mm) screws.
Please ensure that the bracket is fixed in a
way it would support the weight of the
hood. Depending on the construction of
the ceiling, alternative fixings may be
required. 6 x expansion bolts are also provided to allow fitting to concrete.
2. Calculate the length of the angle bars
according to the overall height of the hood
required. Extend the angle bars to the
required height and then fix them in
position using the 16 x M5 screws. The
angle bars must have an overlap of at least
100mm.
4. On the top of the hood unit, where the air outlet vent is located, the 2 x air
flaps should be carefully installed, bending very slightly so the lugs at each end
fit into the holes This enables the 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 fit into the holes on the
housing, not the grooves above
them:

5. Securely fix the angle bars to the
hood using 16 x M5(10mm) screws, and
connect the outlet with the exhaust pipe
( If venting externally)
6. Slide the inner chimney and outer
chimney onto the angle bars
7. If externally venting, connect the
exhaust pipe to the hanging plate.
The angle bar should then be fixed to the
hanging plate using the 8 x M5 screws.
IMPORTANT:
This stage of the installation process
MUST be completed by two people, as
one person must support the weight of
the hood until all the screws have been
securely tightened.
8. The unit should then be connected to
a suitable power source, either by using
the supplied plug, or hardwiring the unit
into a spur. Please note if hard wiring
the unit, a suitable switch should be
fitted in a conveniently accessible
position.
9. Slide the inner chimney up, and use 4
x self tapping screws to connect the
inner chimney with the hanging plate,
then the installation is complete

CARBON FILTER
(Available Separately
）
Activated carbon filters can be used to trap odours, and must be used if the
unit is not vented externally. These are available from the same stockist the
hood was purchased from under reference: eIQTMCARBONCURV Carbon
CARBON FILTER INSTALLATION
In order to install the activated
carbon filters, the aluminium
grease 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 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 reduced..
• The charcoal filter cannot be washed or recycled. It should be changed
at three or six month intervals, depending on the amount of use the
hood receives. Replacements are available from the stockist you

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.
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 OF ALUMINIUM 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: eiQTMGREASE2
REPLACEMENT OF ACTIVE 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.
