QASAIR Installation Instructions

3.
QASAIR Rangehoods must be ducted in duct work equivalent to the outlet
of the rangehood ie: The cross sectional area of the rangehood outlet and
the duct work must be equal. Do not reduce the duct size or have sharp
bends. Enlarge the duct size if the duct is to run 6 metres or longer. Advice
from QASAIR is available to ensure optimum performance. Always use non-
flammable materials to minimise the risk of fire in the duct at a later date.
4. Ensure all ducting pieces are correctly fitted and sealed with either duct tape
or silicone to ensure that fumes do not escape into the ceiling space and seep
into living areas through vents or light fittings. 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 of wall tiles,
damage to walls or bench tops are not covered by warranty.
5. Always adequately ventilate the room when the rangehood in use at the same
time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
6. WARNING: Incorrect venting will result in additional noise and a reduction in
efficiency. Exhaust air must not be discharged into any chimney or flue, which
may carry combustible products from other sources.
A/ Do not discharge the air-flow from the rangehood into a flue used for
exhausting fumes from burning gas or fuel;
B/ For cleaning purposes please refer to page 36 of installation instructions for
stainless steel;
C/ If cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions as listed on
page 36, you may have an increased risk of fire;
D/ Accessible parts of the rangehood may become hot when used with
cooking appliances;
E/ 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.
7. Do not flambé under the rangehood.
8. If the supply cord is damaged, an authorised service centre or licensed
electrician must replace it.
9. NOTE: QASAIR recommend an air movement of between 1000 to 1400 cubic
metres per hour over an indoor barbecue, depending on the length of the duct
run. Ensure a twin motor unit is installed over indoor barbecues for optimum
results. Barbecues should be positioned under the centre of the hood where the
fans are mounted and not near the outer edges where leakage may occur.
10. The lights in the canopy rangehoods are LED and come with a night light and
the concealed units come with compact fluorescent lights and these should be
turned off after use.
11. To reduce the risk of fixing screws coming in contact with live parts, do not
drill or screw into the rangehood. Live wires are encapsulated where possible
to prevent user contact. If necessary drill from the inside out and only through
single sheet material.
12. QASAIR domestic rangehoods are not to be used over barbecues approved
for outdoor use only.
13. QASAIR make a range of hoods specifically for outdoor barbecues in alfresco
areas under the CONDOR name.
14. QASAIR can manufacture rangehoods to be used over commercial cookers in
domestic applications.
