2) The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
3) The blower or fan seems weak:
4) The lights work but the blower is not spinning at
all, is stuck or is rattling.
5) The hood is not venting out properly:
•
make sure that all power has been turned back
ON, fused not blown and all electrical wiring
are properly connected.
• The range hood might not have been secured
properly on to the ceiling or wall.
• Check that the duct sized used is at least 6" or
3-1/4 x 10". Range hood WILL NOT function
efficiently with insufficient duct size. For
example: 7" duct over 6" hole and loosely
secured.
• Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit
(half-circular flapper) is not installed correctly
or opening properly. A tight mesh on a side
wall cap unit might also cause restriction to the
air flow.
• The blower might be jammed or scraping the
bottom due to shipping damage. Please contact
us immediately.
• Make sure the distance between the stove top
and the bottom of the hood is within 24" and
30" in distance; with minimum 30" for gaz
stove top.
