Troubleshooting and FAQ
My hood is operating, but the air is moving slower than normal.
Check the filter for buildup and clean or replace it if needed. If the difficulty still
persists, check for obstructions in the ductwork. A common obstruction is buildup in
the roof or wall cap, such as: bird nests or other debris.
My hood is making a rattling noise.
This is probably attributed to one of the following:
1. The motor is loose—Turn off the power and remove the filter and check that all
screws are secure and tight around the motor.
2. The duct work connection is loose—Turn off the power to the unit and check that
the ductwork connection to the pipe is tight. Add duct tape if necessary.
What is make-up air?
When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be
replaced, this is called make-up air. We do not currently provide a make-up air unit.
NOTE: Always consult any applicable building codes in your area in regards to
minimum and maximum air flow rates. Certain states may require additional items
such as make-up air for larger CFM range hoods (typically over 300 CFM).

My range hood will not operate.
1. Check that there is power to the range hood. The most common issue is that the
circuit breaker is off or the fuse has blown.
2. Make sure the speed has been selected at the range hood controls.
3. Turn off the power to the range hood and check that all wires are properly
connected. Refer to your specific model’s installation instructions for proper wiring.
