Rangehood Installation Instructions
The installation of Atherton rangehoods must comply with the information in this booklet.
Atherton rangehoods are designed and made to work efciently over all domestic BBQs in outdoor areas.
The installation must be completed in a manner that ensures it complies with all local, state and national codes,
regulations and standards at the time of installation.
It is necessary to allow electrical disconnection of the rangehood after installation.
This may be achieved by either.
a) Installing a power point to an accessible area for the rangehood.
b) Incorporating a wall switch to the xed wiring that supplies the rangehood.
Clearance from BBQ to Rangehood
The recommendation for the installation of Atherton rangehoods is that they be installed between 1200mm to
1400mm above the cooking surface area of the BBQ.
Please follow all regulations and standards.
Ducting
For all your ducting requirements please refer to our Rangehoods ducting pieces brochure included with your
rangehood or please consult our website where it can be viewed or downloaded.
1. Every Atherton rangehood must be ducted to the outside atmosphere by the use of zinc-alume duct or
non-porous and non-ammable materials. Do not use of any type of exible ducting or plastic PVC piping.
Rangehoods must not be vented into a wall cavity or a ceiling space. Externally ducting the rangehood prevents
a build up of grease, which can be a re risk. Ensure the external outlet vent does not restrict the airow in any
way, as this may result in reduced performance.
2. Atherton 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 Condari is available to
ensure optimum performance. Always use nonammable materials to minimise the risk of re in the duct.
3. 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.
Other important information
1. Rangehoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely effect the safe operation of appliances burning
gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to the back ow of combustion gases. These gases
can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a rangehood or other cooking fume
extractor, the operation of ued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back
ow of combustion gases does not occur.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Rangehood Installation Instructions
2. WARNING: Incorrect venting will result in additional noise and a reduction in efciency. 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) For cleaning purposes please refer to page 16 of installation instructions for stainless steel;
c) If cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions as listed on page 16, there may be an
increased risk of re;
d) Accessible parts of the rangehood may become hot when cooking;
e) 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. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. NOTE: Condari recommend minimum air movement of 2000 cubic metres per hour and recommend up to 3600
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.
6. The lights in the rangehoods are LED.
7. Please contact Condari to arrange an authorised technician to replace any cracked protective glass shields for
the LED lights.
8. If the supply cord is damaged, an authorised service centre or licensed electrician must replace it.
9. Do not ambé under the rangehood.
10. Condari can manufacture rangehoods to be used over commercial cookers in domestic applications.
11. NOTE: All information is correct at the time of print, as standards vary over time please ensure all requirements
meet the latest standards / codes and regulations.
12. Atherton rangehoods are not to be modied in any way.
13. Atherton rangehoods are intended to be installed undercover and are not to be exposed to the elements.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Somerton, Avenel & Stirling Models
1. Determine hood position on wall 1200mm to 1400mm above barbecue.
2. Unpack rangehood.
3. Mark centre line on wall.
4. Mark base line on wall (Note: if shroud is being used, take note of the height of the shroud as it may impact
the rangehood position).
5. Mark the outlet hole in the ceiling for the duct and cut out, removing any obstructions allowing clear access
for the duct (Note: if using rear duct, mark and cut hole at this time).
6. Locate and drill mounting holes in wall as high and wide as possible to avoid rangehood sagging from wall.
Drill xing holes in rear of hood to suit mounting holes on wall.
7. Remove protective lm from wall mounting bracket and x to wall at base height of hood making sure this is
level and exactly central.
8. Transfer xing locations from hood to wall and drill xing holes. Locate position for power and drill hole in
the rangehood for cable using a hole saw. Consult your electrician for his preferred location. (Electrical
connection should only be made by qualied persons).
9. Prepare rangehood for lifting by removing lters and fans.
10. Employ safe lifting techniques along with appropriate equipment and personnel. Lift rangehood into position
on mounting bracket, locate outlet through hole in ceiling/wall and bringing power cable into hood during this
process.
11. Support rangehood with appropriate support equipment (portable stands / lifting equipment). Screw or bolt
hood to wall securely with appropriate xings, making sure hood is level and sitting properly on mounting
bracket. Ret fans if they have been removed.
12. Electrical connection can now be made by a licensed electrician to the junction box inside bottom right side

FILTER CLEANING
OPERATION DETAILS
RANGEHOOD 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.
Atherton rangehoods are made from stainless steel, either type 304.
* Type 304 is classied as 18/8 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.

No other person, firm or corporation is authorised by Condari to offer or give on its behalf any other greater
warranty than that given by Condari under this warranty.
Condari provides all Atherton rangehoods a 10 year motor replacement warranty. This is a change over
warranty.
The installation of the rangehood must comply with the information in this guide. Failure to adhere to the
instructions may result in loss of the Condari warranty.
We do point out that incorrect installation such as the ducting being the incorrect size or the duct run being too
long will result in the motor failing and possible burning out.
Replacement of the fan motors will need to be carried out by a authorised Condari technician and will be
charged at the rates applicable at time of replacement.
