Instructions for use

Press the button shown in the diagram below, to control the functions of the rangehood.
To achieve better fume extraction, it is recommended the rangehood be switched on for a few minutes (approx 3-5minutes) before starting to cook so that the air flow is stable and continuous.

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).

• Attach the rangehood to the kitchen unit.
•  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.
• When the range hood is working at the same time as other non-electrical cooking equipment, the outlet air pressure must not exceed 4 Pa.
•  To achieve optimum performance the length of the outlet hose should not exceed 4 meters, or include more than two 90 angles (elbows).
•  Although venting to the outside is recommended, carbon filters may be used, which allow the gas to be returned to the kitchen through the outlet pipe.
•  If the cabinet into which the rangehood is installed is more than the total depth of the range hood the installer will need to fit an appropriately thick sealing batten to the wall behind the rangehood, equal in width to the range hood.
•  Make sure that the household voltage is the same as the voltage on the rating label of the rangehood before installation.
•  The wall or ceiling on which the rangehood is installed must be strong and flat enough to support the rangehood. The wall shall be non-combustible and the rangehood must not be mounted on a wall made of flammable material such as wood.
•  To prevent any fire, please discharge the exhaust gas to a public cold flue (in apartments) or outdoors.
•  The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
•  Do not unpack your rangehood if your kitchen is undergoing decoration as building materials, dust, paint, coatings, and their gases can corrode and tarnish the surface of the range hood. Please install the rangehood after the decoration.
•  The rangehood shall be level, firm and steady after the installation.
•  Install the range hood in a dry place without direct sunlight.
•  If the range hood is installed within a cabinet, the latter must be installed with enough space reserved to easily install, disassemble and maintain the rangehood.
•  The rangehood shall be installed as close to the outlet of the flue or external wall as possible to shorten the distance between the outlet of the rangehood and the public flue or external wall.
•  The rangehood shall be mounted above the stove in parallel and on the same axis.
•  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.
•  The vertical separation distance shall not exceed 750mm so as not to adversely affect the extraction efficiency. See Figure 3.

Drill holes and install rangehood body Method:

•  Drill four holes of 6mm diameter and a hole of 170mm diameter on the top of the cabinet.
•  Install the range hood under the cabinet and screw tight with supplied M5 screws and gasket.
•  Install the mounting board under the rangehood so as to cover the gap between the back of the range hood and cabinet.

Installing the rigid duct pipe (not supplied)

•  Fix one end of the rigid duct pipe onto the outlet of the range hood, and connect the other end directly with the public flue or the external wall hole. The connection shall be firmed fixed and sealed.
•  When installing the duct pipe, examine whether the anti-return valves of the rangehood and the public flue outlet (if installing in an apartment) can be operated normally.
•  Avoid too many bends of the duct pipe, and a bending angle of fewer than 90 degrees as this will affect the efficiency of the appliance.
•  Do not connect the duct pipe of this rangehood with any pipe of smaller diameter as this may affect the exhaust.
•  If you need to connect the rigid duct pipe to a public flue, do not insert it too deeply into the public flue, so as to prevent the exhaust resistance from increasing. It is recommended that a check valve is installed at the connection between the duct pipe and the public flue.
• If you need to connect the duct pipe outdoors, it is recommended that a blind window is installed at the connection between the duct pipe and external wall to prevent the outdoor wind from flowing indoors.
•  The distance from the top of the range hood to the ceiling should be at least 300mm.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance activities, ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the mains.
Take note of safety instructions when carrying out cleaning and maintenance.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

Cleaning the Rangehood Body
Moisten a cloth in warm soapy water (40°C approx.) to clean the range hood, paying special attention to the grids. Afterward, dry it using a lint-free cloth.
Notes: Never use metallic scouring pads or abrasive products that could damage the surface. Do not use scrapers with metallic surfaces such as knives, scissors, etc.
Maintenance and Replacement of your Kleenmaid Rangehood Filters
Your Kleenmaid rangehood has one or both the following types of filters:

T he visible aluminum 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 range hood.

Filter Cleaning
Release the anchoring points to withdraw the filters from their locations. Clean the filters by putting them in the dishwasher (without other items), leaving them standing in hot water to simplify the removal of grease, or by using appropriate special sprays (protecting the nonmetallic parts). Once clean, leave them to dry before re-installing.
Notes: Cleaning filters in the dishwasher with harsh detergents may blacken the surface of metallic parts without affecting the gas retaining properties. The filters must be cleaned at least once a month depending on how often the appliance is used. It must be remembered that grease is deposited in the range hood when cooking, whether it is switched on or not.
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.
Warning: It must be ensured that the grease 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.

The internal Kleenmaid Activated Charcoal (or “Carbon”) Filter, which will be present on a range hood that is installed in recirculating mode i.e. not vented outdoors.
These filters are located inside the rangehood and remove cooking odors 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. Generally, the life of these filters is approximately six months. However, always replace the filter when it no longer absorbs odors effectively.
When replacement Kleenmaid Activated Charcoal filters are required they may be purchased by emailing [email protected] or calling 02 9310 1207.

Replacing the Charcoal Filter
To install the carbon filter (after removing saturated filter) align the motor anchorage with the anchor points of the carbon filter and turn clockwise.

Changing LEDs
Remove the filter support to access the LED.
Take care to disconnect the mains beforehand and check that the LEDs to be replaced are not hot.
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to remove the LED from the lamp and separate it from the terminal. Replace with a new LED of the same type with a maximum power of 1.5W. Reinstall into the rangehood body and replace the filter support.

Troubleshooting Guide

If the appliance fails to operate correctly during the warranty period please visit our website to request a warranty service (see back cover of this manual for details). When booking a service please provide your Model No.: RHSO91 and the individual Serial Number of your appliance. If you no longer have documentation showing the serial number it can be found on the appliance rating label on the underneath right hand side of the retractable/sliding section of the rangehood. To access the rating label remove the grease filters as per instructions for cleaning on page 11.
