Maintenance – Prior to any maintenance
operation ensure that the rangehood is
disconnected from the electrical outlet.
Cleaning – The rangehood should be
cleaned regularly internally and
externally. For cleaning use a soft cloth
moistened with a mild detergent. Do not
use abrasive cleaners.
Grease Filter
Removing - The self supporting metal
filter has an unlimited life. In order to
remove the filter pull the release springs
P backwards and slide the filter
downwards.
Cleaning - Wash every month in warm
soapy water, or, if possible, in the
dishwasher (60°C). Let dry before
reinstalling it.
PLEASE NOTE: The grease filter may
discolour after washing in a dishwasher.
This will not however affect the
performance of the grease filter.
Remount the filter after it has dried
thoroughly.
Carbon Filter - The use of a charcoal
filter is necessary when the rangehood
cannot be vented outdoors either
because ducting is not available or
cannot be installed. The charcoal filter
serves to eliminate odours that form
during the cooking process. Under normal
use conditions, the filter should be
replaced every 4 months. For
replacement charcoal filters please
contact your nearest Kleenmaid Store on
131308. The charcoal filter must never be
washed.
Removing or replacing
To fit or replace a carbon filter:
a.
Request a charcoal filter from the
retailer, specifying the model and
type of rangehood.
Caution! Some charcoal filters come
covered with a plastic film to protect
their filtering properties. If this is the
case, remove the film before
installing the filter.

Attention!
Failure to observe the instructions for
cleaning the appliance and changing and
cleaning the filters may cause fires.
Therefore, we recommend observing
these instructions.
Replacing lightbulbs – Unscrew the
damaged light bulb and replace with an
incandescent oval screw in bulb with a
maximum of 40W E14. Remove the grill
in order to reach the light bulb area.
Caution – This appliance is designed to
be operated by adults. Children should
not be allowed to tamper with the controls
or play with the appliance.
Do not use the rangehood where the grill
is not correctly fixed! The suctioned air
must not be conveyed in the same
channel used for fumes discharged by
appliances powered by other than
electricity. The environment must always
be adequately aerated when the
rangehood and other appliance powered
by other than electricity are used at the
same time. Flambe cooking with a
rangehood is prohibited. The use of a free
flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents. Therefore free flame
cooking must be avoided. Frying of foods
must be kept under close control in order
to avoid overheated oil catching fire.
Carry out fumes discharging in
accordance with the regulations in force
by local laws for safety and technical
restrictions.
