Frequently Asked Questions - MHC60SS MIDEA

How do I install the Midea MHC60SS range hood?

Installation requires drilling and fixing brackets at specific heights. The minimum distance from the hob is 65 cm for gas. Refer to the manual for detailed step-by-step instructions and wall drilling diagrams.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the metal grease filter every 2 months of operation, or more frequently for heavy use. It can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand with neutral detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

Remove the grease filters, then remove the saturated charcoal filter and insert a new one. Charcoal filters are not washable; replace every 4 months or more often with heavy use.

What should I do if the light stops working?

The LED light module must be replaced entirely. Unplug the hood, remove the grease filter, unscrew the front plate, disconnect the terminal, press out the old module, and install a new one (1.5W, DC 12V, 70 mm diameter).

Can the hood be used in recirculating mode?

Yes, you can use it in recirculating mode by installing activated charcoal filters (sold separately). The hood can be ducted outside or recirculated.

What does the speed switch do?

The speed switch controls the motor: low, medium, and high speeds. There is also a separate light on/off switch. The motor off switch stops the fan.

Why is my hood vibrating or making noise?

Vibration can be caused by a damaged blade, loose motor or hood mounting. Tighten screws or replace the blade if damaged. Ensure the hood is firmly fixed to the wall.

How do I connect the ducted version?

Connect the hood to the chimney using a flexible or rigid pipe of 120 mm or 150 mm diameter. Use the reducer flange for 120 mm connection and secure with pipe clamps (not supplied). Remove charcoal filters if present.

What safety precautions should I take?

Ensure earthing, never leave high flames under the hood, monitor deep fat fryers, and comply with local air discharge regulations. The hood is for home use only.

Where can I get spare parts or service?

Midea Cooker Hood Instructions

Two stainless steel kitchen furn�ers shown from different angles (no text or symbols visible)

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY Read the instructions carefully before using your cooker hood, and keep them carefully. If you follow the instructions, your cooker hood will serve you many years well.

The instructions apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your appliance.

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the cooker hood. (When the cooker hood is located above a gas appliance, the distance shall be at least 65 cm. If the installation instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance, it has to be taken into account. The distance of 65 cm can be reduced for non-combustible parts of the cooker hood and parts operating at safety extra low voltage, provided these parts do not give access to live parts if deformed.)

- Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.

- For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.

- Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe with the minimum diameter of 120 mm.

- The route of the flue must be as short as possible.

- The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances, burning gas or other fuels.

- If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent backflow of the exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air.

- When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

WALL DRILLING AND BRACKET FIXING

As the first step, proceed with the following drawings:

• A vertical line up to the ceiling or up to the upper limit, at the center of the area in which the hood is to be fitted.
• A horizontal line A at 980 – 1080 mm above the cooker top.
• A horizontal line B at X mm above the horizontal line A.
• A horizontal line C at 261 mm below the horizontal line A (solution 2).

Mark points:

• Mark a point (1) on the horizontal line A, 80 mm to the right of the vertical reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side and on the vertical reference line, checking that the three marks are on one horizontal line.
• Mark a point (2) on the horizontal line B, 40 mm to the right of the vertical reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the two marks are on one horizontal line.
• Mark a point (3) on the horizontal line C, 180 mm to the right of the vertical reference line (solution 2).
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the two marks are on one horizontal line.

Fix the brackets:

• Drill at the marked points (1), (2), (3) (solution 2), using a 10 mm drill bit. Insert the wall plugs 11 into the holes (1), (2), (3) (solution 2).
• Fix the hood fixing bracket 20 with 3 screws 10 (5 x 50) at the horizontal line A. Fix the chimney fixing bracket 21 with 2 screws 10 (5 x 50) at the horizontal line B.

Hook the hood body

- Hook the hood body to the bracket 20.

- Level the hood body itself.

- Lock screws (M5*12) into the hood fixing bracket to prevent the hood body from accidentally sliding off.

- Remove the filter from the inside of the hood body, and fix the screw 10 to wall plug 11 at the point (3) (optional).

OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE DISPOSAL

The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out “Wheeled Bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when disposing the appliance, you need separately collect them.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
