Do the dampers open and close freely?
With the blower housing o (see Hood Cleaning on Page 8, Section 
B), locate the damper (ap) and ensure that it opens and closes freely. 
If it does not, identify and remove any obstructions that are preventing 
the damper 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 damper from opening.
Is the hood making a rubbing or scraping noise?
This may be caused by the blower wheel coming in contact with 
the front edge of the blower housing or rubbing the motor mount 
screws. Unsnap the suitcase latches on the blower housing (see 
Hood Cleaning on Page 8, Section B) and make sure the housing 
is properly seated on the face of the motor housing. If the blower 
wheel is rubbing on the motor mount screws, the blower wheel will 
need to be repositioned on the motor shaft (see Hood Cleaning on 
Page 9, Section C).
Is the hood making a knocking or rattling noise?
This may be caused by a loose blower wheel. Remove the blower 
housing (see Hood Cleaning on Page 8, Section B) and make sure 
the blower wheel is properly attached to the motor shaft (see Hood 
Cleaning on Page 9, Section C).
NOTE: If smoke still enters the kitchen after following these 
suggestions, contact your dealer for additional service and/or 
suggestions.
