Delivery, handling, reception and storage
Delivery
Kitchen hoods are bulky units
; it is the buyer’s
responsibility to coordinate adequately the delivery on
site in order to have the best mode of transport such
as flat bed, small truck for narrow access or tailgates.
Handling
The buyer must provide necessary equipment on site
to unload the truck. When using a forklift for any item
over 6 foot (1.8 meter), the forklift must be equipped
with long forks.
Reception
Upon reception, inspect the material to make sure it is
in good condition before signing the bill of lading or any
approval document provided by the carrier. If there is
damage, write it clearly on the bill of lading or any
approval document provided by the carrier. As soon
as possible, advise Cadexair and provide pictures of
the damaged equipment.
Verify the packing slip attached to the bill of lading to
make sure all the items listed on the packing slip are
received. It is possible that some items are note sent
in the same shipment. Refer to the packing list
included with the bill of lading for verification.
Claims on missing items must be sent within 72 hours
following the reception of material. If claims are done
after this delay, Cadexair reserves the right to refuse
the claim.
Storage
Do not store the exhaust kitchen hood outside; avoid
exposing the exhaust kitchen hood to the sun and to a
temperature above 35° Celsius. These conditions can
affect the adherence of the protective film glue
protecting the exhaust kitchen hood and may damage
the stainless steel when removing the protective film.
Installation
IMPORTANT
Cadexair does not take responsibility for
the installation of the exhaust kitchen
hood on site unless it is clearly stated in
the sales contract.
A commercial exhaust kitchen hood must
always be installed according to the
applicable NPFA 96 edition and local
standards.
Cadexair does not recommend walking
or standing on top of the exhaust kitchen
hoods. These actions may damage and
deform the exhaust kitchen hood which
will void the guaranty. If an access is
mandatory, installed boards to distribute
the weight evenly on the exhaust kitchen
hood joints and not to the center of the
stainless steel sheets. If needed,
additional supports must be used to
support the boards.
Material clearance
Make sure to respect the clearance standards from
combustible and semi-combustible material. The
exhaust kitchen hood must be installed 3 inches
(75mm) from semi-combustible classified material and
18 inches (460mm) from combustible material. This
clearance standard is applicable to walls, ceiling and
structural components of the building. Verify with the
fabrication plans if clearance reduction methods have
been applied.
Kitchen exhaust hood positioning
Make sure to respect the kitchen exhaust hood
homologation when installing. The hood must be
installed to 78 inches (1980mm) from the finished floor
in the front. The exhaust kitchen hood must have an
overhang of 6 inches (150mm) on each side and an
