Electrical Connection

• Before connecting to the mains supply, check that the voltage matches the rating label inside the rangehood.

• Installation must comply with local building and electrical regulations. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person to avoid a hazard.

Installer Warnings

• Minimum clearance from the cooktop to the rangehood must be maintained, as specified in the installation diagrams.

• If you are not confident with the installation, consult a qualified trade professional.

To ensure optimal air extraction, follow these guidelines:

• Keep the exhaust duct short and straight.

• Do not reduce or restrict the duct diameter.

• Minimise the number of bends in the duct.

• If using flexible ducting, install it with the helix fully extended to reduce pressure loss.

• Failure to follow these guidelines will reduce performance and increase noise levels.

• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity or heating flue unless specifically designed for that purpose.

• Before installing the appliance, record the model and serial number from the rating plate located on the bottom of the appliance casing.

• The hood must be mounted onto the cabinet’s mounting board. Once installed, the distance between the cooktop and the rangehood must be at least 650mm above electric burners or 750mm above gas or mixed-fuel burners.

1. Drill a Ø140mm diameter hole for the exhaust outlet. Also, drill 4 Ø8mm mounting holes and an opening for the power cord, according to the dimensions specified in the user guide.

2. Insert the 4 mounting screws with the four mounting gaskets to secure the hood to the cabinet.

The KOGAN KAMCTRA60CA hood can be installed in either the filtering version or the ducting version. You must correctly position the circulation air door according to the diagrams in the user guide.

Ducting Version Setup:

In the ducting version, the hood extracts air from the kitchen and expels it outside through an outlet pipe (not supplied). Charcoal filters are not required. The recycling cover must be installed on the hood body when using the ducting version.

Filtering Version Setup:

In the filtering version, the hood draws in kitchen air, purifies it through grease and charcoal filters, then recirculates it back into the room. For this version:

• Charcoal filters must be used.

• The recycling cover must be removed.

• The outlet cover must be installed on the hood body.

• All electrical wiring must only be performed by a licensed professional in accordance with relevant electrical codes and standards.

• Before installation, turn off power at the main switch to prevent electrical hazards.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician to avoid safety risks.

• Only use the original power plug and cord supplied with the appliance. Do not use extension cords or alternative power sources.

The KOGAN KAMCTRA60CA has two main controls:

• Fan Control: This is a sliding switch with three positions: Low speed, On/Off, and High speed.

• Light Control: This is a separate switch to turn the light on and off.

Always disconnect the product from the power supply before performing any maintenance.

• Clean the exterior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild detergent.

• Do not use corrosive, abrasive, flammable cleaners, or products that contain bleach.

• Never insert sharp or pointed objects into the motor’s protective grille.

• Only clean the filters with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

• It is essential to clean the unit and replace the charcoal filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so may result in grease build-up, posing a fire hazard.

The mesh filters should be cleaned every 3 weeks. They are designed to capture grease particles and must always be used.

To remove the metal grease filters:

1. Pull down the latch on the filter.

2. Remove the filter from the hood body.

1. Remove the lamp cover.

2. Turn the bulb anticlockwise to loosen and remove it.

3. Replace it with a new 2W E14 LED bulb.

Charcoal filters are only applicable for filtering (recirculating) mode and should be replaced every 3 months. They cannot be cleaned or reused.

1. Ensure the rangehood is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before starting.

2. Slide out the front panel.

3. Remove the mesh filters.

4. Pull down the latch and remove the filters to expose the internal fan/motor housing.

5. Locate and remove old charcoal filters. They are usually mounted on either side of the motor casing or directly clipped to the fan housing.

6. Twist them counterclockwise or unclip them depending on the fixing type.

7. Align the new charcoal filters with the fan housing.

8. Secure by twisting clockwise or snapping them into place until firmly fixed.

Note: This product is fitted with a safety cutout device. If the rangehood is installed too close to the cooker top, flambe cooking, operating the cooktop without cooking utensils and blocked filters may activate the safety cutout device. If the hood stops during operation, correct the faults and allow time for the safety cutout device to reset. Then the rangehood will function correctly.
