Frequently Asked Questions - MHS60S MIDEA

What is the minimum distance between the cooker hood and the hob?

The minimum safety distance is 650 mm (some models may allow lower height, but always check the instructions).

Can I use the hood without connecting it to an external vent?

Yes, in recirculation mode you must install an activated charcoal filter (not washable) to filter and recirculate air back into the kitchen.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Clean the metal grease filters every 2 months (more often with heavy usage). They are dishwasher safe.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

Replace the activated charcoal filter every 4 months (or more frequently with heavy usage). They cannot be washed.

What should I do if the motor does not work but the light is on?

Check if the blades are blocked, the capacitor is damaged, the motor is damaged, or the motor wiring is disconnected. Replace faulty parts as needed.

How do I replace the light bulb?

Unplug the hood, remove the grease filter, then rotate the lamp to remove it. Replace with an LED module 3W, 220-240V, E14 base.

Can I use the hood over a gas hob?

Yes, but ensure the distance to the hob is at least 650 mm (or more if specified by the hob manufacturer). Do not flambé under the hood.

What pipe diameter is required for ducted installation?

Use a rigid or flexible pipe of at least 120 mm diameter. A reducer flange is provided for 120 mm connection.

How do I switch between ducted and recirculation mode?

Turn the venting knob to the appropriate position: for extraction-air mode (venting outside) or circulating-air mode (recirculation).

What does the warranty cover?

The manual does not specify warranty terms. Please contact Midea or your retailer for warranty information.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Read these instructions carefully before using your cooker hood, and keep it carefully. If you follow the instructions, your cooker hood will provide you with many years of good service.

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

INSTALLATION

● The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
● The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
- 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 of minimum diameter 120mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
- Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion flumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
- 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 the backflow of 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.
- In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.
- If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

USE

● The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
● Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
● Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
- Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
- Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
● Do not flame under the range hood; risk of fire.
- 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 should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
● Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
● "CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances".

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
  ● Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified lime period (Fire hazard).
  ● Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
  ● The appliance uses 4 hob elements at most.

• According to the figure, make sure the position of hood in the cabinet. The wood strips should be line up with the 4 keyholes slots on the top of the range hood. On the cabinet, install 4 screws (supplied) according to the relative position of 4 key holes on the bottom of hood. The extent of screwing should be convenience to the next installation.
  ●Hang the hood and let it's 4 key holes aim at screws, the 4 screws should be in the narrow parts of key holes. Screws should be fasten firmly, make sure that the installation between the hood and cabinet is enough fasten.
  ● Install screws in the security holes, in case of front and back moving of hood, so that the using is safer.

Information

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
