range-hood is for installation inside a ceiling cavity. If you are in doubt call Glem Gas service team on

OPERATION
Quiet Air rangehoods have almost silent operation when installed correctly. The only sound is the
movement of air through the filters. We recommend using the supplied ducting or rigid ducting such
as PVC pipe for the most efficient result. We may not provide warranty service if an alternative
flexible ducting is used in installation.
Please call Glem Gas Service on 1300 307 917 if you require further information.

The rangehood is operated using push button or touch controls.

AVOIDING CONDENSATION
In some circumstances condensation can build up in your rangehood. While this is not essentially a
major problem it is a good idea to minimise condensation where possible so it doesn’t drip into the
food being prepared. There are many variables that can create increases in condensation - climate,
installation location and type of cooktop with induction being the biggest producer of steam.
One way to minimise condensation is to operate the rangehood for a few minutes prior to cooking.

SERVICING & CLEANING
It is important that the installation of the rangehood takes into account accessibility for servicing.
IF SERVICING THE RANGEHOOD REQUIRES DAMAGE TO TILES, WALLS, CEILINGS OR
FINISHES THIS WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
We strongly recommend keeping filters clean. They are easy to wash and with regular care will
provide years of service.
Stainless steel should only be clean with a quality non abrasive cleaner. We recommend just using
a soft cloth with hot water. Detergents can cause streaking and aggressive detergents can attack
the surface finish of the stainless steel. IN COASTAL AREAS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF SALINITY IN
THE AIR ADDITIONAL CARE MUST BE GIVEN TO PROTECT ALL STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS
TO PREVENT DISCOLOURATION AND CORROSION.
ROOF SPACE FAN MOTOR - The roof space fan motor should be checked from time to time to
make sure it is free of debris that could obstruct airflow, and check that the ducting is remaining in
good condition.
