Condor Rangehood Installation Instructions
FILTER CLEANING
RANGEHOOD CLEANING
For the best results, please clean filters regularly. Condari recommends cleaning filters
every 3-4 weeks, or immediately after heavy use.
You can do this by hand washing in warm soapy water, or by placing filtres in the dishwasher.
Condari
does not
recommend the use of any citrus or caustic products as this can cause
corrosion on the metal filters.
CONDOR rangehoods are made from stainless steel, either type 304 or type 316.
•
Type 304 is classified as 18/8 stainless steel
•
Type 316 is classified as 18/10 stainless steel.
This means that the stainless is made of 18% nickel and either 8% or 10% of chromium
respectively.
Stainless steel gets its protective coating from the chromium oxidising in the air to form a
protective surface of chromium oxide.
This protective surface can be attacked by salt in the air and by salt water, and then
corrosion can occur on the steel. It is important to clean and polish the stainless steel by
hand, allowing the chromium to oxidise again. Therefore if the alfresco area is by the sea,
one should take measures to protect the rangehood from corrosion.
It is suggested to wipe the hood down with vegetable oil if it is left in the open for long
periods of time.
