Suggestions for correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact:

• Switch ON the rangehood at minimum speed when you start cooking and keep it running for few minutes after cooking is finished. Increase the speed only in case of a large amount of smoke and vapor and use boost speed(s) only in extreme situations.
• Replace the charcoal filter when necessary to maintain a good odour reduction efficiency.
• Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency.
• Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

WARNING! Before re-connecting the rangehood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient functioning of the rangehood, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Installation

NOTE: 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). The rangehood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the rangehood.

Attention! The exhaust pipe is not supplied and must be purchased separately.
Diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.
In the horizontal runs the exhaust pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

Attention! If the rangehood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.
Connect the rangehood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange). Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! Use a duct which is as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version
One active charcoal filter is needed for this model and can be obtained from Kleenmaid. See details on page13. The filter removes the grease and odours from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

Installation
The safety gap between the rangehood 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. Regulations concerning the discharge of air must be fulfilled.
Technical Information
Power Supply: 220-240V 50-60Hz
Total Absorbed Power: 120W
Motor:115W Lights: 2×2.5W
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the rangehood. If provided with a plug connect the rangehood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it is not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with wiring rules.
Warning! Before re-connecting the rangehood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient functioning of the rangehood, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Mounting
Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) filter if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This is to be mounted only if you want to use the rangehood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the rangehood (e.g. packets with screws (), guarantees (), etc.). If so, remove and keep them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy rangehood parts and hardware on it.
• In addition check whether an electric socket is available near the installation area of the rangehood and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the rangehood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the rangehood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only. This rangehood is designed for fitting in a cabinet or on some other support.

WARNING: IT MUST BE ENSURED THAT THIS APPLIANCE IS CONNECTED ONLY TO A 230VAC +10%/-6% 50Hz MAINS POWER SUPPLY WHICH CONTINUOUSLY COMPLIES WITH THE RELEVANT AUSTRALIAN STANDARD. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE AND ANY SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

Operation

The rangehood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.
It is recommended that the rangehood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking, be left in operation during cooking and for approximately 15 minutes after terminating cooking.

Maintenance

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the rangehood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse. If the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

Cleaning
The rangehood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH). Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Grease filter
The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non abrasive detergents, either by hand with a soft-bristled brush in warm soapy water, or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. Ensure that each filter is completely dry before re-installing it into the rangehood.
Normally these filters will last the life of the rangehood, however if they are damaged in any way, replacements may be purchased by emailing [email protected] or calling 02 9310 1207.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)
Fig. 13 on page 12 shows how to access and replace this filter.
The internal Kleenmaid KleenAir Activated Charcoal (or “Carbon”) Filter will be present in a rangehood installed in recirculating mode i.e. not vented outdoors. There is one charcoal filter located inside this rangehood which removes cooking odours from the air. The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after prolonged use, with the time depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four months or prior to that if it no longer absorbs odours effectively. The charcoal filter must NOT be washed or regenerated.
When replacement KleenAir Activated Charcoal filters are required they may be purchased by visiting the Kleenmaid website www.kleenmaid.com.au, emailing [email protected] or calling 02 9310 1207.
Warning: It must be ensured that the filters are correctly installed whenever the rangehood is operating. Failure to do so may damage the rangehood, and such damage will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

Replacing lamps
Fig. 15 on page 12
The rangehood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology. The LEDs guarantee optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times as long as the traditional lamps and allow saving up to 90% on electrical energy.
To replace lights, contact an authorised spare part centre.
