might need to be further secured into studs on wall.

 

 

 

 

5. Blowers noise

Our blowers are designed to perform up to 850 cfm. A properly

 

 

functioning motor itself should be relatively quiet. Nevertheless, due

 

 

to vacuum created by the suction, noise level up to 6 sones will be

 

 

generated when both blower unit is turned on at its maximum speed.

 

 

Employing low speeds will suffice moderate cooking such as steam-

 

 

ing, broiling etc.

 

 

 

 

6. Light is not working

Light bulb might need to be replaced. On some instances, the fragile

If pan-frying is frequent accompanied by steaming, vapor from steam

 

 

will liquefy accumulated grease in its internal housing and flows in

The self clean feature cleans only the internal housing within the

 

 

range hood. Remove safety grill to clean in dishwasher and clean all

 

 

surface periodically as instructed.

 

 

 

 

10. Blowers seemed weak

Check duct size used, duct size should be at least 7”. Range hood

 

 

WILL NOT function properly with the insufficient duct size.

 

 

Check if duct is clogged or if dumper unit is not opening properly. A

 

 

tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction to the

 

 

air flow.

 

 

Use a damper type sidewall cap.

 

 

Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work or increase

 

 

duct size.

 

 

Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed and taped.
