• Many factors could be tile root cause for reduced air-tlow.

1. Installation could be tile problem: Your hood was designed to

meet specific ducfing requirements. If your duct length exceeds

tile manufhcturer's req/firements, hood perfbnnance will suffer.

Air-flow will also be reduced if lfie house duct work is too small

or lfiere are loo Inany elbows in tile sys/em. (]ontact your installer

or builden

2. Obstruction in duct work could be tile problem: Make sure

nothing is blocking the vent (bird nests or kinks in lhe duct work).

3. Damper blade may not be opeIfing. Make sure Ifie tape is removed

fi'om tile damper blades and that it swings open freely.

4. Damper blade on Wall or Roof Cap may not be opening. Contact

your builder so they can make sure lfie damper swings open t?eely.

5. Dirty filters/baffles - Make sure filters (and all hood surfaces) are

kept clean of grease and dirt.

correct the problem, call for service.
