Noise Levels & Extraction Levels
All KLEENAIR units operate 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 externally 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.
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 are removable and dishwasher safe. It is recommended that these items be cleaned regularly.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
The KLEENAIR unit should be checked regularly to ensure that nothing is obstructing the air flow from
the housing.
