TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTHING WORKS
• Turn on power at circuit breaker panel or fuse box. Check for tripped
breaker or blown fuse.
• Make sure hood main power switch is on.
• Check the hood’s wiring.
LIGHTS NOT TURNING ON
• See “NOTHING WORKS”
• Swap out lights to determine if bulbs are defective.
RANGE HOOD VIBRATES WHEN
BLOWER IS ON
• Make sure the range hood has been secured properly to the wall.
BLOWER SYSTEM SEEMS WEAK
• Increase the fan speed, ensure that it is at a high enough setting.
• Make sure the ducting is sized correctly. Range hood will not function
efficiently with insufficient duct size (IE, 9” duct over 8” hole)
• Check to see if duct is clogged or if damper unit (half-circular flapper)
is installed incorrectly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also
cause restriction to the air flow.
AIR NOT VENTING OUT PROPERLY
• Make sure there is at least 28” (71 cm) between the stove top and
the bottom of the hood
• Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check to
ensure all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.
• Make sure power is on High speed for heavy cooking.
