installation instructions
1.
Remove hood from packaging being careful not to touch stainless steel front.
2.
Locate centre of stove and using level or plumb line, mark centre line up to ceiling.
3.
Measure height of hood and mark same distance down from ceiling with level line.
4.
Mark where ducting needs to be cut either on wall or ceiling, check for wires and timber, then
cut hole for ducting.
5.
Locate solid fixing points on wall (This hood is very 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.
7.
Drill hole in rear or top of the hood to take electrical cable.
8.
It may be easier to remove fans for easier fixing and weight when installing.
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.
10.
You need two people to lift this canopy into position. * Do not attempt this on your own, as
you 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.
12.
Fit ducting to hood to the outside atmosphere as required either through the roof with
appropriate flashing by a plumber or through the rear wall vent, which needs to be siliconed
to the rear of the hood. Always use approved ducting and seal all duct joins with duct tape or
silicone.
13.
An electrician should make the electrical connection to the hood by connecting to the 10 AMP
junction box. Ensure power is turned off during this procedure.
14.
Refit fans to hood, insert filters and test.
Handy hints:
Sometimes it is easier to lift the hood with a person in the roof space pulling up on a
rope attached to a wooden block placed inside base of hood and a second person down the bottom
guiding the hood into position.
cleaning of stainless steel
QASAIR Rangehoods are made from stainless steel type 304 and is considered 18/8 SS.
This means the stainless steel is 18% chromium and 8% nickel in the mix. The steel becomes
stainless by the chromium oxidising in the open air to form a protective coating of chromium oxide.
This coating can be upset by coming in contact with a substance that will attack the chromium
oxide, such as a lemon solution or any cleaner with a preservative in it.
Therefore, only clean the rangehood with an approved stainless steel cleaner. Methylated spirits or
warm soapy water with soap will do it. Do not use powder detergent.
