Maintenance

Maintenance and replacement of your Kleenmaid Rangehood Filters.

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

The visible aluminium grease filter, which should be 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. Make sure that the rangehood is turned off before cleaning.
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.

Cleaning of the filter

• Remove the grease filter by operating the latch of the filter.
• Wash in a dishwasher with detergent, setting the temperature to less than 60 degrees. Do not use abrasive detergent as this will damage the rangehood. Ensure filter is dry before re-installing.
• Make sure the filter is mounted in the correct position with the handle facing outwards, and latch securely.

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 Activated Charcoal (or “Carbon” ) Filter, which should 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. Generally the life of these filters is approximately six months. However, always replace the filter when it no longer absorbs odours effectively. When replacement Kleenmaid Activated Charcoal filters are required they may be purchased by visiting the Kleenmaid website www.kleenmaid.com.au. Order Code KMCF200.

Replacing the charcoal filter

• Remove the grease filter by operating the latch of the filter.
• Remove the saturated Activated Charcoal Filters, as indicated in the diagram below.
• Fit the new Charcoal Filters, as indicated in the diagram below.
• Replace the aluminium grease filter .

Replacing the lamp

• Press the lock catch of metal filter, remove the filter.
• Push the lamp from inside to remove the lamp.
