Frequently Asked Questions - ECH63BL CDA

How do I install the CDA ECH63BL cooker hood?

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional. The hood must be mounted at least 65 cm above an electric hob and 75 cm above a gas hob. Ensure the wall can support the weight (15 kg). Use the provided template for drilling holes.

Can the ECH63BL be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode by fitting an optional carbon filter. This filters odours and recirculates air back into the kitchen.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Grease filters should be cleaned every month for normal use. They can be washed by hand with mild detergent or in a dishwasher at low temperature. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.

How do I replace the carbon filter?

Carbon filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on usage. To replace, remove the grease filters, then slide out the old carbon filter and insert a new one. Ensure it is securely fitted.

What is the maximum noise level?

The maximum noise level is 65 dB(A) at boost speed. At lower speeds, noise is significantly reduced. Regular cleaning and proper installation help minimise noise.

The hood is not extracting properly. What should I check?

First, ensure the grease filters are clean. Check that the ducting is not blocked and that the carbon filter (if used) is not saturated. Also verify that the motor is functioning and that the speed setting is appropriate.

How do I change the LED lights?

The LED lights are integrated and may require a technician for replacement. If they stop working, contact CDA service or a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to replace them yourself unless instructed.

Does the hood have a remote control?

No, the ECH63BL is controlled via touch buttons on the front panel. No remote control is included.

What is the warranty period?

CDA offers a 2-year warranty on the ECH63BL. This covers manufacturing defects but not misuse or wear and tear parts like filters. Register your product to activate warranty.

Can I duct the hood to the outside?

Yes, the hood can be ducted to the outside using a 150 mm diameter duct. For best performance, keep the duct as short and straight as possible, and use smooth-walled pipe.

Cleaning the grease filter

The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire. At least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filter with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in the dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filter.

Please note that cleaning the grease filter(s) in a dishwasher may cause the filters to discolour. This is normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.

Changing the charcoal filter

To ensure the best performance of your extractor, you should replace the charcoal filter every three to six months, depending on the frequency of use and the style of cooking. To attach new charcoal filters, first remove the grease filter(s) as described on the previous page. Offer up the charcoal filters to the sides of the motor as shown in figure 3, turning it clockwise until it locks in place.

Operating modes

Your extractor can be used in either of two modes - recirculation or extraction. The choice often depends on the specific installation requirements. Your installer will be able to advise which is best for you.

Note that when used in recirculation mode, the extractor will only remove grease and odours from cooking. It will not remove steam.

Mains electricity connection

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY BY A COMPETENT PERSON, USING FIXED WIRING VIA A DOUBLE POLE SWITCHED FUSED SPUR OUTLET AND PROTECTED BY A 3A FUSE.

We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.T. and local regulations.

The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE = NEUTRAL, BROWN = LIVE, GREEN & YELLOW = EARTH

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead for the appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals connecting to the fused spur, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured green & yellow must be connected to the terminal marked E (Earth) or coloured green.
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal marked N (Neutral) or coloured black or blue.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L (Live) or coloured red or brown.

If the mains cable of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by a CDA approved service engineer, agent, or other suitably qualified person.

IMPORTANT – ONLY USE A 3 AMP FUSE

The use of a 13A fuse can cause internal wiring damage which will not be covered under the CDA warranty.

Do not mount the electrical isolation switch behind the chimney section. It is a requirement that you must be able to isolate the extractor from the mains electrical supply after installation.

Electrical Information

Rated voltage (mains electrical voltage): 230 – 240Vac, 50Hz Rated input (rated power consumption): 158W

Motor input: 150W

Lamp power: 2 x 4W

Troubleshooting

If your extractor is not working

1. Check that the mains electrical supply has not been switched off.
2. Check that the fuse in the spur has not blown.
3. Contact CDA Customer Care.

Determining the position of your extractor

When the extractor is to be mounted above an electric hob, the distance between the hob and the extractor must be greater than 550mm (600mm is recommended). When the extractor is to be mounted above a gas hob, the distance between the hob and extractor must be greater than 650mm.

If the instructions provided with your gas hob dictate that the required distance between hob and extractor must be greater than 650mm then that is the distance that should be observed; this is a legal requirement and failure to comply with the regulations may lead to your hob being disconnected from the mains gas supply, and the installation reported to RIDDOR. Any heights measured are from the top of the gas burners.

In the absence of any instructions supplied with the gas hob, the minimum distance between the hob and extractor must be at least 760mm. The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the extractor.

Installation

Fixings provided

We have provided a set of fixings that are suitable for most walls. However, please ensure that the fixings you use to secure the extractor to the wall are appropriate for the type of wall in your kitchen.

Product dimensions

Installation steps

1. Using the template supplied, mark out the positions of the mounting holes required. Make sure that the extractor height above the hob will be greater or equal to the height required for your hob (figure 7).

2. Next, drill the fixing holes and insert suitable wall plugs. Please make sure you use fixings suitable for your wall. Seek advice if you are unsure.

3. Secure the main wall hanging bracket to the wall using the provided screws. Lift the extractor on to the bracket, ensuring it is properly hooked in place.

Ducting and ventilation

For best performance and quietest operation, we recommend the use of 150mm ducting and for the extractor to be used in extraction mode (as shown in figure 4). 125mm ducting may be used but this will reduce the performance and increase the noise of the extractor when in use. The use of 100mm ducting is not recommended.

Wherever possible, utilize rigid circular or rectangular section pipe which has a smooth interior, rather than the expanding concertina type ducting. The lengths of ducting with minimal effect on performance are as follows:

■ 4 metres with 1 x 90 ° bend
■ 3 metres with 2 x 90 ° bends
■ 2 metres with 3 x 90 ° bends

Longer ducting can be used, but this will reduce the performance and efficiency of your extractor. Ducting should be sealed to the vent outlet using suitable securing means. Note that ducting components and ducting kits are optional accessories and must be purchased separately.

Installation for recirculation

When installing this extractor for recirculating the air within your kitchen, we recommend the use of optional charcoal filters to help remove cooking odours. You should change these every three to six months, depending on use.
