PARTS

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

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 (NOT 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.
Please note: the performance of the hood may be affected if the diameter of the pipe is reduced, or if the airflow is restricted.

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 of this manual.

INSTALLATION

BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR HOOD:

• Unpack the hood and check that all functions are working. Ensure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the serial plate match the voltage and frequency at the installation site.
• Check that the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is clear of any electrical cables or pipes, etc.
• The surfaces of the hood are very easily damaged during installation if grazed or knocked by tools. Please take care to protect the surfaces during installation.
• Protect the hob surface with cardboard, or similar, to prevent damage occurring whilst the hood is being installed above.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any failure to observe all safety regulations in force for the correct and normal operation of electrical products.
• Ensure the wall is level and the installation plates are horizontal to prevent grease from accumulating within the hood.
• Ensure the power has been turned off at the mains before starting installation.
• Connection to the mains supply must be in an accessible location.
• You may need the following tools to complete this installation:
  • Drill appropriate for your wall
  • Phillips Screwdriver
  • Tape Measure
  • Hand Saw or Jig Saw
• Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire rated construction.

INFORMATION

• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaustion of gases through the flue (chimney) for fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Ductless fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• When assessing the air pressure, the entire ventilation system in the house/apartment must be considered.
• All legal regulations must be observed for the conveyance of exhaust air. If the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode with the optional carbon filter, there are no operating restrictions.

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. Drill all 7 holes for the hood using the installation diagram as a guide. Use the supplied screws (ST5 x 50mm) to attach the hood installation plate, and the Upper chimney bracket to the wall in the correct position, ensuring the plates are level.

4. The 2 air flaps should now be installed on the top of the unit, as access is easier before the unit is wall mounted. The flaps should be carefully installed, 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: Ensure the small lugs at each end of each flap locate into the holes on the housing and not the grooves above them.

5. Slide the chimney sections onto the hood. Fix the base of the lower chimney section to the hood using two ST4.2 x 9.5mm screws (supplied)

6. Fix the lower chimney bracket to the top of the lower chimney using two ST4.2 x 9.5 screws (supplied).

7. Hang the hood on the Installation plate, and secure to the wall using two screws
   (ST5*50) through the lower chimney bracket into the wall plugs previously inserted.

8. If the hood it to be vented externally, push an exhaust pipe onto the top of the hood, and route it externally.

9. Slide the inner chimney up to the correct height and fix into position on the upper chimney bracket using the remaining two screws (ST4.2*9.5).

OPERATION

REPLACING THE BULB

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 bulb has cooled down before commencing replacement.

1. Remove the glass canopy from the top of the hood, following the Removal and refitting of the glass canopy section.

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 glass canopy.
   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.

INSTALLING THE CARBON FILTER (OPTIONAL)

1. Remove the grease filters from the underside of the hood.
2. The carbon filters are located at either end of the motor.
   TO FIT: Locate the filter on the peg on the side of the motor. Rotate the filter clockwise onto the motor housing;
   TO REMOVE: Rotate the filter anti-clockwise until it is unscrewed . Warning: The carbon filter cannot be washed or recycled. It should be replaced after approximately 2-3 months of use.
   When the activated carbon filters are attached, the suction power will be reduced.
   Note: The optional carbon filter is available from the hood supplier/manufacturer under the following stock code: eiQMIDCARBON

REMOVAL AND REFITTING OF THE GLASS CANOPY

WARNING: Components within the appliance may have sharp edges. When attempting to remove or refit the glass, gloves should be worn to avoid scratches and cuts.

The glass canopy is held into position using four screws, spacers and decorative washers. Remove the four screws, spacers and decorative washers from the glass canopy, ensuring the canopy is suitably supported. Two people should then lift the canopy off the hood, retaining the fittings removed for re fitting. Refitting is the reverse of removal. Before refitting the hood, please ensure the decorative trim is correctly located, and has not become detached or displaced during disassembly.
