Overview

1. Function Description

3. Maintenance Features

This document serves as an installation, use, and care guide for Miseno range hoods, specifically models MH00630AS, MH00636AS, MH00730AG, and MH00736AG. These range hoods are designed for household cooking areas to ventilate and exhaust fumes and grease.

Function Description

The Miseno range hoods are primarily designed to remove smoke, grease, and odors from your cooking area, improving air quality and preventing the accumulation of airborne contaminants. They feature an internal blower system that draws air through aluminum mesh filters. These filters are crucial for capturing grease and other residues. The exhausted air is typically vented to the outdoors through a ductwork system.

For installations where external venting is not feasible, the range hoods can be converted to a ductless recirculating mode. In this configuration, optional charcoal filters are added to purify the air before it is recirculated back into the home. This conversion requires a specific recirculating kit, which includes the necessary charcoal filters and an air diverter plate. While the ductless option provides flexibility, the manual emphasizes that exhausting air outside is generally more effective and efficient.

The hoods are equipped with halogen light bulbs to illuminate the cooking surface, enhancing visibility during food preparation. The control panel allows users to manage both the blower speed and lighting levels.

Usage Features

The range hoods offer electronic controls for ease of operation. The control panel includes distinct buttons for various functions:

• Blower On/Off: A dedicated button to turn the blower system on or off. If the lights are currently on, pressing this button will also switch them off.
• Blower Speed Selection: This button allows users to cycle through three different blower speeds (I, II, and III), providing flexibility to adjust ventilation intensity based on cooking needs.
• Lights Bright/Dim/Off: This control enables users to cycle through various light levels, including bright, dim, and off, to suit different lighting preferences and tasks.
• Delay Off Timer: An activation button for a delay-off timer, which will automatically shut down the blower after 5 minutes, useful for clearing residual fumes after cooking is complete.

Proper usage involves always turning the hood on when cooking at high heat or when food is flaming to effectively manage smoke and grease. It is also important to use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element to minimize boilovers and spills. The manual advises against leaving surface units unattended at high settings, as boilovers can cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.

For safety, users are warned not to use the fan with any solid-state control device and to ensure sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases when fuel-burning equipment is also in use.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the Miseno range hoods. The guide provides clear instructions for cleaning and part replacement:

• Surface Maintenance: The exterior surfaces, particularly stainless steel, should be cleaned periodically with hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. A non-abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaner is recommended for polishing and buffing to maintain luster and grain, always scrubbing lightly and with the grain. Harsh cleaning agents, such as corrosive or abrasive detergents, steel wool/scouring pads, chlorine bleach, or "orange" cleaners, should be avoided as they can scratch or damage the surface. For heavier soil, a liquid degreaser can be used.
• Metal Mesh Filters: The aluminum mesh filters are designed to capture grease and residue. They do not require replacement but must be kept clean. They can be removed by pushing in on a spring-loaded handle and pulling down. Cleaning can be done by hand with degreasing detergent (soaking if heavily soiled) or in a dishwasher on a low-heat setting. Filters must be dried before re-installation.
• Charcoal Filters (for Recirculating Mode): If the hood is used in recirculating mode, charcoal filters are installed in addition to the metal mesh filters. These charcoal filters are not washable and must be replaced after approximately 120 hours of use, or every 3 to 4 months, depending on daily cooking habits. The manual provides instructions for securing the charcoal filter brackets and clipping the filters into place.
• Light Bulbs: The hood uses GU-10 50W halogen light bulbs. When replacing bulbs, it is crucial to ensure all power is off and the bulbs are cool, as they become extremely hot when turned on. To remove a bulb, turn it counter-clockwise approximately 60 degrees until it falls out. If a bulb is difficult to turn due to prolonged use, a provided glass suction cup or a rubber/latex glove can be used for assistance. Replacement bulbs are available at specialty lighting stores.

The manual emphasizes the importance of regular cleaning of ventilating fans and filters to prevent grease accumulation, which can pose a fire risk. It also includes troubleshooting procedures for common issues such as the unit not working, the blower not turning, vibrations, lights not working, or inadequate venting, offering solutions like checking power connections, replacing parts, or adjusting installation.
