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.
