Kitchen Hoods • Type I and Type II2
Receiving
Upon receiving the product, check to ensure all items
are accounted for by referencing the delivery receipt or
packing list. Inspect each crate or carton for shipping
damage before accepting delivery. Alert the carrier
of any damage detected. The customer will make
a notation of damage (or shortage of items) on the
delivery receipt and all copies of the bill of lading which
is countersigned by the delivering carrier. If damaged,
immediately contact your Accurex Representative. Any
physical damage to the unit after acceptance is not the
responsibility of Accurex, LLC.
Unpacking
Verify that all required parts and the correct quantity
of each item have been received. If any items are
missing, report shortages to your local representative
to arrange for obtaining missing parts. Sometimes it
is not possible that all items for the unit be shipped
together due to availability of transportation and truck
space. Confirmation of shipment(s) must be limited
to only items on the bill of lading. Filters are shipped
on a separate skid in their original packaging. Do not
remove factory packaging or install filters until just prior
to commissioning. Remove all other shipping/packing
materials.
Handling
Units are to be rigged and moved by the lifting brackets
provided or by the skid when a forklift is used. Location
of brackets varies by model and size. Handle in such
a manner as to keep from scratching or denting.
Damaged finish may reduce ability of unit to resist
corrosion.
Storage
Units are protected against damage during shipment. If
the unit cannot be installed and operated immediately,
precautions need to be taken to prevent deterioration of
the unit during storage. The user assumes responsibility
of the unit and accessories while in storage. The
manufacturer will not be responsible for damage during
storage.
The ideal environment for storage of the hood and
accessories is indoors, above grade in a clean, dry
atmosphere that is sealed from the elements. While in
storage, inspect equipment routinely. If any moisture,
dirt or other accumulations are found on the hood or
any of the parts, the source should be located and
eliminated.
Removing from Storage
As equipment is removed from storage to be installed
in their final location, it should be protected and
maintained as outlined in the Handling section above.
