IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CONDARI PTY LTD makes over 120 different models of QASAIR and CONDOR Rangehoods plus many
specials designed by architects and interior designers.

It is important to follow the installation instructions for each model.

The following is general advice for the installation of CONDOR Rangehoods.

Gas regulations require different heights for different brands of hoods. CONDOR hoods can be tted between

1200 mm to 1400 mm above the barbecue. This is due to the fact they do not have plastic motors.

1. The installation of CONDOR Rangehoods must comply with the information in this booklet. CONDOR

Rangehoods are designed and made to work efciently over all domestic barbecues available on the

Australian market.

2. Every CONDOR Rangehood must be ducted to the outside atmosphere by the use of zinc-alume duct or

non-porous and non-ammable materials. We do not recommend the use of any type of exible ducting
or plastic PVC piping (barbecue heat output will affect exible ducting and cause it to desintegrate).

Rangehoods must not be vented into a wall cavity or a ceiling space. This prevents a build up of grease,

which can be a re risk. Ensure the external outlet vent does not restrict the airow in any way, as this may

result in reduced performance.

3. CONDOR 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

CONDOR is available to ensure optimum performance. Always use nonammable materials to minimise the
risk of re in the duct at a later date.

4. Ensure all ducting pieces are correctly tted 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 ttings. The installation
and tting 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 is 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 efciency. Exhaust air must not

be discharged into any chimney or ue, which may carry combustible products from other sources.
a) Do not discharge the air-ow from the rangehood into a ue used for exhausting fumes

from burning gas or fuel;
b) A reduction in ducting size will result in the motors eventually failing and will need replacement.
c) For cleaning purposes please refer to page 27 of installation instructions for stainless steel;
d) If cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions as listed on page 27, you
may have an increased risk of re;
e) Accessible parts of the rangehood may become hot when used with cooking appliances;
f) 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.

Condor Rangehood Installation Instructions

7. If the supply cord is damaged, an authorised service centre or licensed electrician must replace it.

8. NOTE: CONDARI recommend minimum air movement of 2000 cubic metres per hour and recommend up

to 2700 cubic metres per hour over a barbecue, depending on the length of the duct run. 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. Please also note barbecue lid position, as if it does not open to a 90 degree angle the
smoke and by-products can be diverted forward and away from the rangehood catchment area.

9. The lights in the rangehoods are LED.

10. To reduce the risk of xing 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.

11. CONDARI can manufacture rangehoods to be used over commercial cookers in domestic applications.

NOTE: Installation must comply with local State & Council regulations.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONDOR RANGE

To suit cassette model:

• Tanami

1. The Tanami Rangehood is designed to be installed into an area that has a at ceiling with no change in
ceiling height. If the is ceiling is part of a bulkhead or has a recess or has a cathedral ceiling adjacent to it
please consult a Condari representative.

2. Remove hood from packaging being careful not to damage the lters and stainless steel panels that
surround them.

3. Locate centre of stove and using level or plumb line, mark centre line up to the ceiling.

4. In a new house the hood can be xed into the ceiling space by bolting or screwing into the ceiling joists or by
building a frame to support the hood.

5. In an existing home, a hole must be cut into the ceiling and pushing the hood into the space. Ensure there
are no obstructions placing the hood into position.

6. A stainless steel ceiling ange can be supplied to nish the hood to the ceiling if required. It is not supplied in
colours.

7. The Tanami Rangehood is supplied as top ducted, the outlets can be congured to be back ducted, this will
be done on-site by the installer to suit the intended ducting direction.

8. Once secure in position standard ducting pieces can be used.

9. Switches are not provided with the Tanami Rangehoods. The owner/installer will need to provide approved
electrical switches to operate the Rangehood. They are to be installed at a convenient location to control the
Rangehood.

10. The Tanami Rangehood can be wired to operate all fans with a Hi-Low setting or the left and right fans can

have the Hi-Low setting controlled separately.

RANGEHOOD CLEANING

CONDOR Rangehoods are made from stainless steel, either type 304 or type 316.

* Type 304 is classied as 18/8 stainless steel
* Type 316 is classied as 18/10 stainless steel

This means that the stainless steel 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 can be attacked by different substances, such as salt water or sea air. The stainless
steel will start to show pit marks which are referred to in the industry as tea staining. This will happen to
marine grade stainless steel type 316 in the same way it will happen to stainless steel type 304, it will just
take longer to happen.
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.
When exposed to sea water or sea side conditions this is only a stop gap measure as the attack will start
again.
With stainless steel rangehoods exposed in Alfresco areas we recommend spraying the hood with vegetable
oil and rubbing it all over the rangehood, if it is going to be unused over a period of time.

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 or use one of the powder
detergents.
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, particulary 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.

CONDARI PTY LTD APPLIANCE GUARANTEE

The benefits conferred by this warranty are in addition to all other rights and remedies in respect of the product
which the consumer has under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and similar state and territory laws.

Condari P/L in Melbourne (and by their agency in Country Areas and other States) warrants that the appliance
