GENERAL SAFETY

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The safety gap between the range hood and the hob below must comply with the recommendations of the hob manufacturer. In case of no instructions, a minimum distance of 650mm (or other minimum distance as may be specified by AS/NZS 5601 and interpreted by a certified installer) should apply.
• It is necessary to allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation. The disconnection can be achieved by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• 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 range hood to the exhaust flue through a pipe of a minimum diameter of 120mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the range hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the range hood 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 range 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 from being drawn back into the room by the range 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.
  WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fix the device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

USE

• The range 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 to avoid the potential risk of fire.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their well-being.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION

Before making preparations for or commencing installation, the installer should refer to the current online version of the User Manual, which is available on the Kleenmaid website (see back cover for details). This range hood has the option of recirculated venting or outdoor ducting mode. Set the venting knob to the correct position for the chosen mode before installation. (See diagram below ) If installing as a recirculating range hood, you must use the 80mm front fascia which is supplied as standard.

| Outdoor ducting mode: Turn the venting knob here to vent outside
---|---
| Recirculating mode: Turn the venting knob here to recirculate

RECIRCULATING MODE
This mode is the default setting. The rangehood will operate with charcoal filters and vent the air back into the kitchen.

• A hole in the cabinetry above the air outlet should not be provided.
• Do not install the check valve.

OUTDOOR DUCTING MODE
This is the recommended extraction mode for optimum performance. If it’s possible to install an exhaust duct (not supplied) to vent the air outside and operate your range hood in outdoor ducting mode, proceed as follows:

• Remove the charcoal filters which are not required for outdoor ducting mode.
• When installing the ducted version, connect the range hood using rigid pipe Φ120 (not supplied).
• Fix the pipe in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
• Remove the 80mm fascia rail which is already installed on the range hood. See page 7 for instructions.
• Using the same screws, attach the 40mm fascia rail supplied in the box. See page 7 for instructions.
  Check valve installation – Align the check valve with the hole on the top of the box, insert the check valve then turn until the 3 tabs on the check valve are concealed.

• Unscrew the two screws bottom of the plate (fig 2).
• Remove the switch panel (fig 3).
• Unscrew all of the five screws and pull up the front fascia (fig 4 and fig 5).
• Replace the other front fascia and apply the reverse procedure for re-installation (fig 6).

METHOD 1 -cabinet Mounted

• Determine the final position of the hood and the alignment of the front faces of the hood and the cabinet. The safety gap between the range hood and the hob below must comply with the recommendations of the hob manufacturer. In case of no instructions, a minimum distance of 650mm (or other minimum distance as may be specified by AS/NZS 5601 and interpreted by a certified installer) should apply.
• Mark and pre-drill the four (4) fixing screw holes into the cabinet above the range hood according to the diagram. These should line up with the 4 keyhole slots on the top of the range hood. Check that the holes are correctly located, by temporarily fitting the range hood into place and checking the alignment of the holes.
• On the cabinet, install 4 screws (not supplied) according to the relative position of the 4 keyholes on the bottom of the hood. The 4 screws should be in the narrow parts of keyholes. Check the alignment of the hood in the cabinet and tighten the screws firmly so that the hood is securely attached to the cabinet and doesn’t move in any direction.
• Warning When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.

METHOD 2 – Wall Mounted

• As per the diagrams above determine the position of the range hood on the wall. The safety gap between the range hood and the hob below must comply with the recommendations of the hob manufacturer. In case of no instructions, a minimum distance of 650mm (or other minimum distance as may be specified by AS/NZS 5601 and interpreted by a certified installer) should apply.
• On the wall, install 2 screws (supplied) according to the relative position of 2 keyholes on the back of the hood.
• Gently tighten screws to allow completion of the installation.
• Also, install screws in the security holes, and tighten all screws firmly so that the hood is securely attached to the cabinet and doesn’t move in any direction.
  Installation of hoods built-in combi cabinets is the same as the previous method.

WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards

MAINTENANCE

GREASE FILTERS
Your Kleenmaid rangehood has one or both of the following types of filters:
1. The visible aluminum grease filters are present on every rangehood.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS

• These filters must be cleaned after every 2 months of operation, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage.
• Operate the latches on the grease filters and remove the filters one by one pushing them towards the backside of the hood unit and simultaneously pulling downwards.
• The filters may be cleaned either with a soft-bristled brush in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher (without other items).
• Any kind of bending of the filters should be avoided when washing them. Before fitting them back into the range hood make sure that they are completely dry. (The color of the filter surface may change over time but this has no effect on filter efficiency).
• When fitting the filters into the rangehood make sure that they are mounted in the correct position with the handles facing outwards,
• and latched securely. There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
  Normally these filters will last the life of the rangehood, however, if they are damaged in any way, replacements may be purchased by emailing support@kleenmaid.com.au or calling 02 9310

2. The internal Kleenmaid KleenAir Activated Charcoal (or “Carbon”) Filters, which will be present on a rangehood which is installed in recirculating mode i.e. not vented outdoors.
These filters are located inside the rangehood and remove cooking odors from the air. They cannot be cleaned and will require replacement. The effective life of the filters depends on the type and amount of cooking you do. Generally, the life of these filters is approximately six months. However, always replace these filters when they no longer absorb odors effectively.
When replacement KleenAir Activated Charcoal filters are required they may be purchased by visiting the Kleenmaid website www.kleenmaid.com.au, emailing support@kleenmaid.com.au, or calling 02 9310 1207.
REPLACING THE ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FILTERS

• Remove the aluminum grease filters.
• Remove the saturated activated charcoal filters.
• Fit the new filters.
• Replace the aluminum grease filters.

Warning: It must be ensured that the filters are correctly installed whenever the range hood is operating. Failure to do so may damage the range hood, and such damage will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Warning: Switch off or unplug the appliance from the main supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
CLEANING THE RANGEHOOD
Clean the range hood body regularly using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

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 you dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local council or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
