INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before You Start …

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 rangehoods conform to related appliances standards. Please check your local building codes for any additional requirements.
The appliance has been manufactured as class I, therefore ground connection is necessary. The rangehood must be installed so that that the plug is easily accessible.

Planning Your Installation

Calculate the maximum height from the floor at which the top of the decorative chimney duct may be located by adding the bench height to the chosen vertical separation between the rangehood and the cooktop below, and the height of the rangehood (see the diagram on page 15 for rangehood dimensions).
Find the centre point of your opening. Mark a plumb line through this point from ceiling to your cooktop.
Check your cooktop User Manual for the minimum distance above your cooking surface. 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. The vertical separation distance shall not exceed 750mm so as not to adversely affect the extraction efficiency.
Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. Short, straight duct runs will provide the most air flow.
If a recirculating kit is necessary, you may purchase one through your dealer.

Unpacking

Remove the packaging with the product in place. Cut off the packing ribbons and carefully cut open the packaging (do not cut too deeply), remove the packaging. Check that the product is free from transport damage. Any damage shall be reported immediately to the carrier or seller. Damage, faults and missing parts must be reported immediately to the seller.

Installing the Ductwork

Plan where the ductwork will run between the rangehood and the outside. The rangehoods exhaust vertically but can be ducted to the rear behind the chimney duct through an outside wall or vertically up through the ceiling to the roof. A short straight duct run will produce the most air flow. Length and elbows will reduce the efficiency of the blower.
Install a roof or wall cap. Connect a 150mm round duct to the cap and work backwards toward the rangehood. Ensure joints are completely sealed with duct tape.

Fixing to the Wall

Before mounting the rangehood, plug in and test all functions for proper operation.
Removed the filters from the bottom of the rangehood to prevent damage during the installation.
With assistance, hold the rangehood temporarily in position ensuring the bottom is above the minimum clearance for the cooking surface. Mark on the wall the holes for the two mounting screws.
Drill the holes (A) at the distances indicated. Use the appropriate screws and screw anchors for your wall type (e.g. reinforced concrete, drywall, etc.). If necessary, prepare back wall with cross framing for secure installation.
Mount the rangehood on the wall screws. Align it in a horizontal position relative to cabinets. When the rangehood has been adjusted, secure unit by tightening screws (A).
Connect a 150mm smooth rigid duct tube (not included) to the exhaust piece using duct tape on all seals. (C).

Fixing the Decorative Chimney Flue

Carefully loosen but do not separate the telescopic chimney duct pieces.
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of the decorative chimney duct.
Adjust the width of the support bracket to match the upper duct. Fix it to the wall using the screws (B) so that it is centered in line with your rangehood and at a distance from the ceiling indicated.

Installation Guidelines

Note: 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.

Note: The above installation images and guidelines are for reference only. If you require information about installers you can find this on the Kleenmaid website (see back page of manual).

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.

Leveling Device

Installation Alternatives

The rangehood can be installed in the following ways:

Circulating indoor air (A)
Outdoor venting (B)

REMEMBER!

Do not connect the rangehood exhaust to a duct used to circulate hot air or vent steam from another appliance.
Always use protective gloves when installing the appliance!.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Operations

For optimum performance in removing cooking odours, it is recommended that you turn on your rangehood prior to cooking and you leave it operating for 15 minutes after cooking.
Clean the surfaces of the rangehood regularly using a non-abrasive detergent.
The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air. They will accumulate grease and dirt depending on the frequency of the use of your cook top.
In order to prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended that you clean the stainless steel grease filter at least every 2 months.

Warning

Do not attempt to remove the filters while the rangehood is operating.
Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
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 use of the appliance by a person responsible for their well being.
There should be adequate ventilation in the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as other fuel burning appliances.

Description of Control

Description of Symbols

When the indicator light stops at the ‘timer’ setting, the rangehood will be functioning at speed III and then automatically switch off after 3 min.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Regular maintenance is required to ensure that the rangehood functions properly. This is especially true of the grease and charcoal filters. Clean the fan and other surfaces of the rangehood regularly with a cloth dipped in methylated spirits or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner.
Maintenance and Replacement of your Kleenmaid Rangehood Filters

Your Kleenmaid rangehood has one or both the following types of filters:

The visible stainless steel grease filter, which is present on every rangehood.

These filters should be removed, cleaned and re-installed at least every three months, and more often if food is regularly fried or grilled. These filters may be cleaned either with a soft bristled brush in warm soapy water, or in a dishwasher (without other items). Ensure that each filter is completely dry before re-installing it into the rangehood.

To prevent the risk of fire and to ensure that the rangehood functions properly, the grease filter must always be cleaned as instructed below when the display indicates the need or at least every two months.

Cleaning the grease filter

Remove the stainless steel baffle filter from the rangehood and clean it in a solution of water and neutral cleaning liquid. Leave the filter to soak in the solution for a while.
Rinse thoroughly with hot water and leave the filter to dry.
The filter can also be cleaned in a dishwasher. NB: If you clean the grease filter in the dishwasher: load only the grease filter and no other items as food particles from dishes can fasten in the filter.

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 1207.

WARNING: It must be ensured that the grease 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.
The internal Kleenmaid KleenAir Activated Charcoal (or “Carbon”) Filter, 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 odours from the air.

These filters cannot be cleaned and will require replacement. The effective life of the filter depends on the type and amount of cooking you do, and how often the grease filter is cleaned. Generally the life of these filters is approximately four – six months. However, always replace the filter when it no longer absorbs odours effectively.

When replacement KleenAir Activated Charcoal filters are required they may be purchased by emailing support@kleenmaid.com.au or calling 02 9310 1207.

Replacing the charcoal filter

Replace the charcoal filter as follows:

Remove the grease filter.
Squeeze the clips on the charcoal filter and pull the charcoal filter back to remove it.
Install a new charcoal filter and replace the grease filter.
DO NOT let dirt build up on the rangehood
DO NOT use steel wool or steel brushes to clean the rangehood
DO NOT leave salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches or cleaning compounds on the rangehood for any length of time as they may damage the stainless steel. Rinse after use with clean water and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Replacing the LED lamps

This rangehood has LED lamps The illumination is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of your kitchen. Prolonged use of the lights may reduce the life time of the lamps.

WARNING: Do not touch or change lamps while the rangehood is operating. Wait until the lamp has cooled before removing.

Use only the same lamps as in the original specification.

With the grease filter removed, from inside the rangehood press the light fixture out of its mounting bracket.
Unplug the lamp from the wiring harness. Avoid direct contact between the lens and your hands, then replace with a new one.
Push the lamp into its mounting bracket .

NB: The light is only meant for use during cooking and not for illuminating the surroundings for longer periods. If the light is used for longer periods, this will considerably shorten the burn time of the lamps.
