Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Improper Venting**
The range hood may not vent out properly if it is installed too high above the cooktop, if there are blockages in the ductwork, or if inadequate duct sizes are used. Ensuring the correct distance and duct dimensions can improve efficiency -
**Vibrating Mesh Filter**
The mesh filters might vibrate if they are not properly secured. Ensuring they are fastened correctly can prevent this issue -
**Unit Turns On By Itself**
Light-sensitive switches may cause the unit to turn on unexpectedly if exposed to direct lighting from kitchen lamps or spotlights. Adjusting the lighting or shielding the controls can resolve this -
**Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues**
Difficulty connecting to Wi-Fi can occur due to incorrect password entries, the router being out of range, or using incompatible router frequencies. Ensuring proper setup and compatibility can fix these issues -
**Thermally Protected System Engaging**
If the blower gets too hot, a thermal protection system may shut it down to prevent damage, and it will resume functionality once cooled. Regular maintenance can ensure the blower operates within safe temperatures
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Task**: Cleaning Aluminum Mesh Filters
Frequency: **Frequency**: Monthly, or more frequently as needed
**Details**: Remove the filters and clean them by hand or in a dishwasher on a low heat setting. If they are heavily soiled, spray with a degreasing detergent and allow them to soak. Ensure filters are completely dry before reinstalling them. -
2. **Task**: Surface Maintenance
Frequency: **Frequency**: As needed, typically weekly
**Details**: Clean the hood surfaces with hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. Avoid using corrosive, abrasive detergents, or steel wool, as these can scratch and damage the finish. For stubborn stains, use a liquid degreaser, and polish with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. -
3. **Task**: General Ventilation Check
Frequency: **Frequency**: Annually
**Details**: Inspect the ventilation system to ensure there are no blockages in the ductwork and that the hood is venting properly. Adjust the venting as needed to maintain effectiveness. -
4. **Task**: Light and Control Check
Frequency: **Frequency**: Annually, or if performance issues arise
**Details**: Test the operation of lights and controls. If lights are not working, ensure the hood is receiving power and there are no obstructions to the sensor if the unit unexpectedly turns on.
- Clean the surface of the hood periodically using hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. Avoid using corrosive or abrasive detergents, steel wool, or scouring pads to prevent scratches and damage.
- For heavier grease or dirt, use a liquid degreaser. After cleaning, polish the stainless steel surface with a non-abrasive polish or cleaner, scrubbing lightly and with the grain using a microfiber or cotton cloth.
- Clean aluminum mesh filters regularly, either by hand or in a dishwasher on a low heat setting. If they are heavily soiled, apply a degreasing spray and let them soak. Ensure the filters are dry and reinstalled before using the hood.
- Always run the fan whenever the cooktop is in use to maintain optimal ventilation and avoid grease buildup. Clean ventilating fans frequently to prevent grease accumulation.
- Ensure all electrical servicing is done while the power is turned off at the service panel. This helps to prevent electrical shock during cleaning or repair.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Always use the fan when cooking to ensure efficient air movement and reduce energy consumption by minimizing cooking-related humidity and odors.
- Clean the aluminum mesh filters regularly to maintain optimal airflow and prevent unnecessary strain on the motor.
- Ensure the range hood is installed at the correct height, between 26" and 34" above the cooktop, to maximize performance and minimize energy usage.
- Use rigid metal ducts that are properly sealed to improve airflow efficiency and reduce energy loss.
- If possible, increase duct size to 7" or 8" if a long duct run is necessary, as this improves airflow efficiency and reduces the workload on the range hood motor.
- To avoid the possibility of explosion or fire, do not store or use combustible, flammable, or explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline) inside or in the vicinity of the appliance. Also, keep items that could explode, like aerosol cans, away from cooktop burners, ovens, and range hoods.
- Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the panel door to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally. If the panel cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
- This range hood must be installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to the installation instructions. Improper installation can cause serious personal injury or property damage.
- To reduce the risk of a range-top grease fire, regularly clean the ventilating fans and ensure grease does not accumulate. Always use the hood fan when cooking at high heat, and never leave cooking unattended.
- Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Ensure foreign objects such as cigarettes or napkins do not get sucked into the hood.
