Check if unit has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been
turned back on and all electrical wiring are properly connected.
Blower blade unit might have been mounted too low and scraping
the bottom or jammed. Loosen hex screw on blade unit and adjust to
proper height.
There might have been foreign particles left within the discharge
opening or rocks, leaves, branches, etc. that might have fell in from
old duct work. Disconnect duct work to inspect and remove any
foreign particles.
Unit might not have been secured properly on cabinet. Or cabinet
might need to be further secured into studs on wall.
Our blowers are designed to perform up to 850 cfm. A properly
functioning motor itself should be relatively quiet. Nevertheless, due
to vacuum created by the suction, noise level up to 6 sones will be
generated when both blower unit is turned on at its maximum speed.
Employing low speeds will suffice moderate cooking such as steam-
ing, broiling etc.
Light bulb might need to be replaced. On some instances, the fragile
bulb could have been damaged during the shipping process.
Replace light bulb.
Grease flow will vary by the amount, methods and types of cooking.
If pan-frying is frequent accompanied by steaming, vapor from steam
will liquefy accumulated grease in its internal housing and flows in
the clean cups. No grease collected in the residue containers is
normal until the self clean function is completed. Clean blowers
approximately once a month as instructed to avoid clogging.
Tubes connected to the internal housing might have been clogged
due to lack of cleaning. Or hood might not have been leveled when
installed. Unclog tubes or re-install hood.
The self clean feature cleans only the internal housing within the
range hood. Remove safety grill to clean in dishwasher and clean all
surface periodically as instructed.
Check duct size used, duct size should be at least 7". Range hood
WILL NOT function properly with the insufficient duct size.
Check if duct is clogged or if dumper unit is not opening properly. A
tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction to the
air flow.
Use a damper type sidewall cap.
Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work or increase
duct size.
Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed and taped.
Check if unit is installed at the recommended height. The range hood
should also be able to cover the entire cooking area from left to right
and most areas from rear to front.
Open doors and windows might also distract air flow before it reach-
es the blowers.
Make sure blowers are on high speed for heavy cooking.
