Troubleshooting
1. If the range hood or lights do not operate after in
-
stallation:
•
Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make
sure that all power has been turned back ON, fused
not blown and all electrical wiring are properly con
-
nected.
•
Swap out light assembly to working ones to deter
-
mine whether it is caused by defective bulbs. See
Replacing the light bulbs
on Page17.
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
• The range hood might not have been secured prop-
erly on to the ceiling or wall.
3.
The blower or fan seems weak:
•
Check that the duct sized used is at least 8” . Range
hood WILL NOT function efficiently with insuffi
-
cient duct size. For example: Connecting this hood
to 4”, 5’ or 6” duct will reduce the suction and
create extra noise and vibrations. Check if duct is
clogged or if damper unit is not installed correctly
or opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap
unit might also cause restriction to the air flow.
4.
The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all,
is stuck or is rattling.
•
The blower might be jammed or scraping the bot
-
tom due to shipping damage. Please contact us im
-
mediately.
5.
The hood is not venting out properly:
•
Make sure the distance between the stove top and
the bottom of the hood is within* 24” and 30” in
distance. *
Due to different ceiling height configura
-
tions, recommended height may not be applicable.
• Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct
work. Check if all joints are properly connected,
sealed, and taped.
•
Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy
cooking.
