Maintenance/Troubleshooting (Continued)
Is the hood mounted at the appropriate height off of the cooking
surface?
The height of the hood off the cooking surface is very important. The
higher the hood is mounted, the less effective it will be. Hoods only
collect cooking vapors; they will not pull cooking contaminants back
into the hood if they escape unto the kitchen. Generally speaking,
the deeper the hood, the higher the hood can hang and still be
effective.

*Note: the recommended height off the cooking surface is dependent
on the depth of the liner. In general, the deeper the liner, the higher
off the cooking surface it can be, up to a maximum recommended
height of 30".
Do the dampers open and close freely?
With the filter(s) removed (see Hood Cleaning Section), locate the
dampers (flaps) and ensure that they open and close freely. If not,
identify and remove any obstructions that are preventing the dampers
from opening. Screws protruding through the duct work are the most
common obstruction.
During installation, only duct tape should be used to connect duct
work to the top of the hood. Screws that are used to connect duct
work and transitions extend inside the duct work and may obstruct
the dampers from opening.
