Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: The Haier chimney hood can be installed in two ways: ducted (where air is vented outside) or recirculating (where air is filtered and returned to the kitchen). Ensure you follow the installation instructions provided in the product manual.
Compatibility: The hood is compatible with both electric and gas hobs, but maintain the minimum recommended distances: 65 cm from electric hobs and 70 cm from gas hobs.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Grease Filters: The aluminum grease filters are dishwasher-safe. Clean them regularly (about once a month) to maintain efficiency.
- Carbon Filters: Replace the carbon filters every 3-6 months, depending on usage, to ensure effective odor absorption.
- Filter Cleaning Indicator: As there's no filter cleaning indicator, keep track of your cleaning schedule.
- LED Lighting: The LED lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting; replace them only if necessary.
