CONDITIONS OF USE AND MAINTENANCE

This rangehood is a domestic appliance which has been manufactured and tested to comply with Australian and New Zealand
Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.31 and is designed to work under Australian and New Zealand conditions. The hoods are designed
to remove bi-products of cooking – heat, steam, grease and odour.

This appliance is intended for domestic application only. Any other usage is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or operation. This unit is approved for
electrical safety (Please refer RCM E4759).

WHISPAIR reserves the right to change the specication without notice.

All WHISPAIR performance gures are based upon standards developed by the Haus Group, which either comply or are in excess
of the government regulated standards.

SAFETY

WARNING: The installation of WHISPAIR rangehoods must comply with the information in this guide. Failure to
install the rangehood in accordance with these installation instructions may result in electrical hazards, injury,
damage to your appliance and loss of warranty. Specically, failure by the installer to install the screws or xing
devices in accordance with these installation instructions may result in electrical hazards. Please install the
appliance as detailed in these instructions.

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 safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).

Exhausted air must not be discharged into a chimney or ue which may carry combustion products from other
sources.

There is a re risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

Bafe lters and grease trap must be regularly cleaned to reduce the risk of re.

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances and stainless steel baffle filter
edge's can be sharp when handling and cleaning.

Ensure the rangehood is switched off and power source cable unplugged before carrying out maintenance, to
avoid any possibility of electric shock.

Always use non-ammable materials to minimize the risk of re.

Do not ambé under the range hood.

Always cover lit gas burners with pots or pans when cooker hood is in use.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Please ensure the hood is securely xed to the support as detailed in this guide. The method of xing stated is
not to depend on the use of adhesives as they are not a means of reliable xing.

The height of the underside of the hood body must be a minimum of 600mm above an electric cooktop, for a
gas cooktop a minimum of 600mm above the highest part of the highest burner and a minimum height of
1200mm above BBQ cookers. If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the minimum
detailed, this shall be the minimum height for installation.

DUCTING AND EXTRACTION LEVELS

WHISPAIR ducting is designed to ensure optimum performance for your rangehood. Please follow the installation instructions
carefully.

Every WHISPAIR rangehood must be ducted to the Inline or Externally mounted KLEENAIR fan motor unit by the use of
non-ammable ducting. The rangehood must not be ducted into a wall cavity or a ceiling space where a build-up of grease can
occur and become a potential re risk. Ensure the external outlet on the KLEENAIR unit is not covered and the air ow is not
restricted in any way as this may result in reduced performance.

The duct must at all times have a cross sectional surface area equivalent to the hood outlet. The hood outlet has a circular cross
section of 200mm in diameter or an approximate area of 31,400mm. Do not reduce the duct size at any time and avoid sharp
bends. If the duct run is longer than six (6) metres, it may be necessary to enlarge the duct size to ensure optimum performance.
The manufacturer does not guarantee performance when the duct length is greater than six (6) metres.

Ensure that all ducting is correctly tted and sealed with pipe clips, duct tape or silicone to ensure that fumes do not escape prior
to reaching the KLEENAIR fan motor unit.

The WHISPAIR extraction calculations are based upon a 50pa change of head of pressure loss and are used to factor the variance
of air ow resistance through the ducting. 50pa is equivalent to approximately four (4) metres (the recommended length) of exi
ducting with one gentle bend, which is above and beyond the industry standard of one straight metre of ducting. The KLEENAIR
LITE offers a powerful 800 cubic metres per hour (223 litres per second) of air movement. The KLEENAIR PRO offers 1140 cubic
metres per hour (317 litres per second) whilst for serious users the KLEENAIR PRO PLUS boasts a market leading 2010 cubic
metres per hour (558 litres per second).

THE RECOMMENDED DUCT

LENGTH (INSTALLATION DISTANCE)

IS 4 METRES.

THE MINIMUM INSTALLATION

NOISE LEVELS & EXTRACTION LEVELS

All KLEENAIR fan motor unit operates at maximum external sound pressure level between 43dB(A) and 76dB(A). The internal
operation of the systems will have a varying sound level dependent on the style of hood, the motor option selected, the acoustics
of the environment and the installation method used. It was established through testing, in accordance with the Australian
Standards, that the internal noise level varied between 33dB(A) and 65dB(A) on the air movement settings available.

It is important to understand that whilst WHISPAIR rangehoods offer quieter operational noise levels due to the positioning of the
motor remotely to the primary cooking environment, the noise levels as a consequence of air movement or ‘wind’ noise are
equivalent to other premium hoods in the Australian and New Zealand market place, although it must be noted that the extraction
levels are signicantly higher.

The installation and tting of the rangehood should be done in such a way that will allow the unit to be removed if service is
required. Additional costs incurred in the removal, such as damage to walls, are not covered under warranty.

It is expected that the stainless steel is cleaned with a quality non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. The bafe lters and grease
trap are removable and dishwasher safe. It is recommended that these items be cleaned regularly.

The KLEENAIR unit should be checked regularly to ensure that nothing is obstructing the air ow from the housing.

INSTALLING THE GREASE TRAP AND BAFFLE FILTERS:

Top Ledge

Bafe Filter Grease Trap

All WHISPAIR hoods utilise removable bafe lters and grease trap. This ltration
system is used to catch by-products such as grease and moisture from the air ow.

To install the bafe lters, simply locate the lter on the top ledge of the hood and
then slide the lter on a downward angle to rest in the channel of the grease trap.
Ensure the lter vane are aligned towards the rear of the hood.

Front Rear

Bafe Filter and Grease Trap Position

Most by-products are captured and stored directly in the bafe lters however the grease trap may begin to ll when excess amounts of
grease and condensate build up in the lter vanes.

The grease trap can be removed for cleaning by removing the two (2) screw xings in the channel.

To clean your bafe lters and grease trap please wash with warm soapy water or simply place in the dishwasher for convenience. Please

note, baffle filter edge's can be sharp and caution must be taken when removing and when cleaning by hand.

It is recommended the bafe lters and grease trap are cleaned every 4 weeks to reduce the risk of re.
