Step 5. Clean the parts and reassemble.
The inside of the blower assembly that remains inside the hood can be
cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water (liquid dish detergent).
Do not use acids, abrasives, strong detergents, solvents, or scouring
pads. When cleaning interior blower surfaces, be careful to avoid any
metal edges.
Clean the blower pan in a sink of warm soapy water (liquid dish detergent)
and let soak for a few minutes. Wash with a sponge or dishcloth, rinse,
and let drain.
A soft bristle toothbrush with warm soapy water may be used to clean
the blades on the blower wheel. Alternatively, the blower wheel may be
soaked in warm soapy water.
Reassemble in the opposite order of disassembly. When reinstalling
the blower wheel onto the motor shaft, make sure the set screw makes
direct contact with the “flat spot” on the motor shaft. Slide the blower
wheel onto the motor shaft as far as it will go, making sure the top of
the blower wheel does not touch the upper scroll area.
If the blower wheel is too far up, it will rub against the upper scroll area,
and if it is too far down, it will rub the inside of the blower pan. Adjust
the blower wheel slightly to find the correct top-to-bottom location.
Tighten the set screw (clockwise) to lock the blower wheel in the correct
position.
Once it’s had time to completely dry, reinstall the blower pan and snap
it in place via the suitcase latches (one on each side of the blower
assembly).
