Frequently Asked Questions - HCH6100ACS HAIER

What is the recommended installation height for the HCH6100ACS hood?

The minimum height is 24 inches (61 cm) above an electric range and 27 inches (69 cm) above a gas range. The suggested maximum height is 36 inches (91 cm).

How do I clean the metal grease filter?

The metal grease filter can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with a hot detergent solution. Make sure to dry it completely before reinstalling.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without an external duct?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode if you install a charcoal filter (not included). The exhaust duct must be replaced with an air deflector.

What to do if the hood does not work?

First check that the hood is properly plugged in and the power supply is active. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual.

How to replace the halogen bulb?

Turn off the hood and disconnect the power. Remove the bulb cover with a flathead screwdriver. Replace the bulb with a halogen bulb of the same wattage, avoiding touching the bulb with bare fingers.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter is not washable and must be replaced every 6 months under normal use, or more often if the hood is used intensively.

What is the warranty for the Haier HCH6100ACS hood?

The hood has a comprehensive one-year warranty (parts and labor) from the date of purchase. Proof of purchase is required.

Can I use an extension cord with this hood?

No, using an extension cord is not recommended. The hood must be plugged directly into a grounded 120 V, 15 A wall outlet.

How to install the duct cover?

Attach the duct cover bracket to the wall at ceiling level using screws. Then slide the duct cover over the hood and secure it to the bracket.

What to do if the hood makes noise or vibrates?

Check that the hood is level and mounting screws are tight. Make sure the exhaust duct is not obstructed. If the noise persists, contact customer service.

RANGE HOOD SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

Warning symbol with exclamation mark inside a triangle, commonly used to indicate caution or hazard.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER," "WARNING" or "CAUTION."

These words mean:

! DANGER

An imminently hazardous situation. You could be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious bodily injury.

CAUTION

A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range hood, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• This appliance is intended for normal family household use only.
• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling; do not damage electrical wiring and other utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
• To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, attics or into crawl spaces, or garages.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, in the event of a grease fire, observe the following:

- Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

• Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother or use dry chemical or foam type extinguishers.
• Wipe up spill over immediately.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry.
  • Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires

- Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Use Only Dry Pot Holders

- Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

NOTE: Before cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn vent hood off, and then disconnect the vent hood from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the vent hood to the electrical source.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARE LOCATION

• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

• Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.

• Disconnect power.

• Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or nonvented.

• Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place covering over that surface.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range hood.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.

MOUNT RANGE HOOD TO THE WALL

1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the canopy hood will be installed.
2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of 27" (68.6 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of the hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.
3. Place the vent hood on the wall, adjust to align and fasten with screws and screw anchors suited to the wall type (reinforced concrete, plasterboard etc.)
4. Mark centers of the fastener locations through the template to the wall.

IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood. If there is no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports may be required.

Remove the template.

1. Drill 316 " (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws are being installed into wood.
2. Install the 2 - 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave a 14 " (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw head to slide range hood into place.

1/4" (6.4 mm)

VENT COVER BRACKET INSTALLATION
