Product Information

Full details

The electriQ 120cm downdraft cooker hood is designed for homeowners and kitchen renovators seeking a minimalist, high-performance ventilation solution that remains hidden when not in use. Its primary advantage is the powerful, energy-efficient extraction that pulls steam and grease directly from the cooktop surface without obstructing views. A key caveat to consider is that because it is a downdraft model, it requires specific cabinetry space beneath the countertop to house the motor and ducting, which may limit storage in your base units.

FAQs

Does this hood work with all cooktops?

It is designed for standard 120cm configurations, but ensure your countertop depth can accommodate the internal motor housing.

How do I clean the grease filters?

The filters should be removed and cleaned regularly using warm soapy water or a degreasing agent.

Is this unit suitable for recirculating air?

Please consult the installation manual for your specific model to determine if it supports a carbon filter kit for recirculating mode.

What maintenance does the black finish require?

Use a soft, microfiber cloth and a mild glass or multi-surface cleaner to avoid streaks and preserve the matte black appearance.

Can I install this myself?

Due to the complexities of countertop cutout and ducting, professional installation is strongly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Weak extraction performance

Check if the grease filters are clogged and need cleaning, or ensure that the exterior ducting is not obstructed.

Hood fails to rise or retract

Verify that the unit has power and that no kitchen utensils or debris are blocking the opening mechanism.

Excessive noise during operation

Ensure the unit is installed level and that all mounting screws are tightened to prevent vibration against the countertop.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energy-efficient A++ rating
  • Minimalist design hides when not in use
  • Excellent for open-plan kitchen islands
  • High-capacity 120cm extraction width
  • Premium black finish fits modern decor

Cons

  • Requires significant depth in base cabinetry

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the electriQ downdraft hood requires precise planning, as it must be mounted within a kitchen island or countertop base. Ensure your base cabinets have adequate clearance for the hood's internal housing and venting. During installation, verify that all ducting connections are secure and airtight to maintain suction power. For ongoing care, clean the grease filters regularly—depending on usage frequency—by soaking them in warm, soapy water or placing them in the dishwasher if the material allows. Wipe the black external surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth to prevent scratching and maintain the finish.
