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. Specifically, failure by the installer to install the screws or fixing 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 flue which may carry combustion products from other sources.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
√ Baffle filters and grease trap must be regularly cleaned to reduce the risk of fire.
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-flammable materials to minimize the risk of fire.
Do not flambé 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 qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
√ Please ensure the hood is securely fixed to the support as detailed in this guide. The method of fixing stated is not to depend on the use of adhesives as they are not a means of reliable fixing.
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.

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-flammable 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 fire risk. Ensure the external outlet on the KLEENAIR unit is not covered and the air flow 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 ^2 . 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 fitted 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 flow resistance through the ducting. 50pa is equivalent to approximately four (4) metres (the recommended length) of flexi 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 DISTANCE IS 3.5 METRES.

GENTLE BENDS IN THE DUCTING ARE RECOMMENDED AS IT ASSISTS IN MUFFLING NOISE FROM THE REMOTE FAN UNIT.

Gentle Bend In Ducting To Rangehood Unit

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 significantly higher.

D. KleenAir Pro Plus Unit offering 2010 m³/hr

SERVICING

The installation and fitting 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 baffle filters 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 flow from the housing.

It is recommended that the KLEENAIR INLINE unit be mounted in a roof space or wall cavity. Please ensure that the KLEENAIR unit is positioned in an environment that is free of other gases to enable an efficient expulsion of the cooking by-products and to ensure that back draft of external gases doesn't take place.

Please ensure the fan motor is positioned away from other exhausts such as chimneys, gas flues, etc. The inline unit can be mounted so that it ducts directly through the wall or eave vent.

STEP 1:

Establish a suitable position in the roof or wall cavity for the KLEENAIR unit, ensuring that the distance between the KLEENAIR unit and the outside vent is no greater than 800mm. The KLEENAIR unit must be located a minimum of 3 metres from the hood unit.

Inlet OutletMounting Bracket

STEP 2:

Using the mounting bracket and screws, mount the KLEENAIR unit to a beam, truss or another appropriate structures in the roof or wall space through the rubber grommets. Hang the fan motor unit from the mounting bracket ensuring the mounting bracket is located at the top of the unit. Ensure the direction of airflow is toward the outside. The direction of airflow is marked on the KLEENAIR unit.

STEP 3:

Cut a 200mm diameter hole in the wall or eave to enable the mounting of the external vent. Please ensure that the hole is cut in a practical position to enable the flexi-duct to be secured. Attach the flexi-duct to the vent and then mount vent to the wall or eave.

STEP 4:

Attach the flexi-duct from the external vent to the outlet of the KLEENAIR unit using pipe clamps. To minimise inefficiencies and noise ensure the duct is pulled tight and the 200mm diameter is maintained.

STEP 5:

Attach flexi-duct from the KLEENAIR unit to the rangehood using pipe clamps. Ensure that the duct is pulled tightly to ensure that flexi-duct remains firm and stable during operation. Avoid sharp bends in the duct. Gentle bends in the ducting are recommended as it assists in muffling noise from the fan motor unit back to the rangehood. If the flexi-duct needs to be extended attach two flexi-duct ends using a rigid duct insert and secured by pipe clamps (Optional installation accessories HBX200DUCT).

STEP 6:

Attach the male plug of the KLEENAIR unit to the female plug of the rangehood to enable power supply to the fan motor unit. An extension lead (not supplied) of up to five meters may be added if required.

Models included: EL.800, EP.1140 and EPP.2010

Positioning your KLEENAIR Unit:

It is recommended that when the KLEENAIR EXTERNAL UNIT is ROOF mounted, it is positioned a minimum 2100mm above the ground surface with a radial clearance of 600mm. Please ensure that the KLEENAIR unit is positioned in an environment that is free of other gases to enable an efficient expulsion of the cooking by-products and to ensure that back-draft of external gases doesn't take place.

Please ensure the fan motor is positioned away from other exhausts such as chimneys, gas fuses, etc. The unit can be mounted so that it ducts directly through the roof and is mounted below the highest point of the roof line.

STEP 1:

Cut a 200mm diameter hole in the roof to enable the rigid duct on the base of the KLEENAIR unit to protrude down into the roof space. Please ensure that the hole is cut in a practical position to enable sufficient clearance around the fan motor unit. Affix the flashing (optional accessory X1IK.200TILE or X1IK.200MET) to the roof surface. Please ensure that the flashing is sealed thoroughly onto the rigid duct with silicone to prevent water leaks.

STEP 2:

Using standard 200mm pipe mounts (optional accessory), mount the rigid duct to beams, trusses or other appropriate structures in the roof space. Ensure the rigid duct protrudes past the top of the flashing by at least 75mm.

STEP 3:

Remove the mounting bracket from your KLEENAIR unit by rotating the cover in an anti-clockwise direction.

STEP 4:

Fix the mounting bracket to the rigid duct using the screws provided.

STEP 5:

Feed the power cable through the centre of the mounting bracket and return the KLEENAIR unit on to the mounting bracket and fix it by rotating the cover in a clockwise direction.
