Rangecraft Rangehoods are designed and made to work efficiently over most domestic
cookware available on the Australian market.

Rangecraft Rangehood Return Air Opening
The Cabinet/Bulkhead that houses the Plasma Unit of the Rangecraft Rangehood
must have an opening in it to allow air to recirculate back into the room. This opening
must have an unobstructed minimum area of 400cm2. For example, this opening
may be 20cm X 20cm or 16cm X 25cm or 10cm X 40cm for each Plasma unit
installed. This opening may be on the top, front or side of the cabinet, it may be
orientated vertically or horizontally. The return air opening must be no more than 6M
away from the Rangehood location and vent into the same room. The opening must
not be made in the bottom of an overhead cabinet.
Please note 400cm2is the minimum opening requirement, Condari advises that the
return air opening should be as large as practically possible for the application, to
reduce the possibility of air noise from the air returning to the kitchen. The return air
opening must be placed in a location that does not allow end user access to the
Plasma Unit or Rangehood.

3. Measure height of hood and mark same distance down from ceiling with level line.
4. Position mounting bracket on wall and fix with 4 screws.
5. Locate solid fixing points on wall (This hood is heavy and requires good solid fixing points). If
necessary, fit some solid fixing timber to wall behind hood now.
6. Mark fixing points on rear of hood and drill fixing holes to take solid screws. Ensure you place
fixing holes high up in the hood to stop it falling forward.
7. Drill hole in rear or top of the hood to take electrical cable.

disconnect Fan/Plasma electrical connectors and carefully remove Fan/Plasma assembly.
9. If you do not have adjustable stands you can cut some temporary timber props to sit canopy on
when you lift into position, to hold it while you fit fixing screws.

could cause yourself injury and damage the hood or stove. CAUTION: Do not under any
circumstances lift from the front of the hood or put any pressure on the front face as you will
damage the hood permanently.
11. Carefully lift hood into position and sit on stands to level hood, then screw hood into position
through fixing holes. Make sure you put fixing holes high up in the hood to stop it falling forward.
Fit all-thread to hood, fix to support/brace in ceiling, attach nuts to bottom of all-thread and
tighten to support front of Rangehood.

Operation Details
As part of the normal operation of the Plasma Filter in your Rangecraft Rangehood it is recommended
to leave the Rangehood running for approx. 20 mins after cooking to allow the reactivation of the carbon
inside the Plasma Filter.
RANGEHOOD CLEANING
Qasair Rangehoods are made from stainless steel, either type 304.
* Type 304 is classified as 18/8 stainless steel
Stainless steel gets its protective coating from the chromium oxidising in the air to form a protective
surface of chromium oxide. This can be attacked by different substances, such as salt water or sea air.
The stainless steel can start to show pit marks which are referred to in the industry as tea staining.
The way to overcome this is to clean the stainless steel with warm soapy water and then polish it with a
cloth so that the chromium will oxidise again.
Stainless steel oil can also be used to further protect the finish.
FILTER CLEANING
For the best results, please clean filters regularly. Condari recommends cleaning filters once per month,
or immediately after heavy use.
You can do this by hand washing in warm soapy water, or by placing filters in the top rack of the
dishwasher using a detergent of pH 8 or less.
Note: Washing the filters in the dishwasher may cause discolouration of the filters.
We recommend washing filters in the dishwasher without detergent.
Ensure the filters are completely dry before placing them back.
Do not operate the rangehood without the filters installed.
Condari does not recommend the use of corrosive, caustic or acidic products, particularly industrial or
citric products.
Condari has experienced problems with many of the dishwashing detergents now on the market.
Particularly with the tablet type detergents as many come from overseas, which are made for a hard
water environment. We have found that these detergents have a deleterious effect on the filters and the
result is that the filters last for about 50 to 60 washes.
This is equivalent to about 5 to 6 years life.
