USER MANUAL 

CANOPY COOKER HOODeiQ80CURVSCTMeiQ80CURVBLTM

Thank you for choosing your electric cooker hood.This instruction manual is designed to provide you with all required instructions related to the installation, use, and maintenance of the appliance. In order to operate the unit correctly and safely, please read this instruction manual carefully before installation and usage.

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 vapors 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 must 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.
  • 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 that 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 suitably sized opening that 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, charcoal filters (available separately) can be used to trap odors 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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, switch the unit off and disconnect the powerUse a soft cloth moistened with mild soapy water or household cleaning detergent ever use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material or stiff brushes to clean the unit.NOTE: Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hood as electrical components could be damaged or short-circuit as a result.

MONTHLY CLEANING FOR METALLIC ANTI-GREASE FILTERIMPORTANT 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.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 discolor the filter, though this will not affect its performance.Replacement grease filters are of the universal type available from many household and DIY stores.

STAINLESS STEELThe stainless steel must be cleaned regularly (e.g. weekly) to ensure long life expectancy.Dry with a clean soft cloth. A specialized stainless-steel cleaning fluid may be used.Ensure that wiping is done along with the grain of the stainless steel to prevent any unsightly crisscross scratching patterns from appearing.CONTROL PANEL SURFACEThe control panel inlay can be cleaned using warm soapy water. Ensure the cloth is clean and well wrung before cleaning. Use a dry soft cloth to remove any excess moisture left after cleaning.Using neutral detergents and avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals, strong household detergents or products containing abrasives, as this will affect the appliance appearance and potentially remove any printing of artwork on the control panel and will void the manufactures warranty.GREASE MESH FILTERSThe mesh filters can be cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher. By hand, soak them for an hour in water with a mild detergent then brush it gently with a soft brush. Do not apply too much pressure, or this may damage them. Leave to dry naturally out of direct sunlight.

In a dishwasher, stack them vertically, where possible. Filters should be washed separately to crockery and kitchen utensils. It is advisable not to use rinse aid.

INSTALLING GREASE MESH FILTERSTo install filters:

  1. Angle the filter into the slots at the back of the hood
  2. Push the button on the handle of the filter.
  3. Release the handle once the filter fits into position.
  4. Repeat to install both filters.

CARBON FILTER (not supplied)

Activated carbon filters can be used to trap odours. The activated carbon filter should be changed between three and six months according to use. The installation procedure of activated carbon filters is as below.

  1. Fit the carbon filter into the unit and turn it clockwise to lock.
  2. Repeat on the other side.

NOTE:

  • Make sure filters are securely locked in position, otherwise, they may become loose and be dangerous.
  • With activated carbon filters fitted you may notice suction is slightly reduced.
