Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Improper Venting**
The range hood may not vent out properly if it is hanging too far above the cooktop, there is a blockage in the ductwork, or the ducting size is incorrect -
**Blower Not Operating**
Sometimes, the lights work but the blower does not turn on, which may be due to the thermally protected system shutting the blower down when it overheats -
**Vibration Issues**
The unit might vibrate if the blower is not securely in place or if there is a damaged blower wheel, indicating a need for service or adjustments -
**Unit Turns On By Itself**
This can occur when light-sensitive switch controls are exposed to direct light from a spotlight or kitchen lamp, which might require adjusting the lighting or shielding the controls -
**Wi-Fi Connectivity Problems**
Issues connecting the appliance to a Wi-Fi network can arise if the network's password is entered incorrectly, the network's SSID is set incorrectly, or if the router's frequency is not set to 2.4 GHz
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Task**: Clean Surface
Frequency: **Frequency**: Periodically
**Details**: Use hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. Avoid corrosive or abrasive detergents and steel wool as they can damage the surface. For heavier soil, use a liquid degreaser. After cleaning, use non-abrasive stainless steel polish to buff the surface. -
2. **Task**: Clean Aluminum Mesh Filters
Frequency: **Frequency**: Every 30 hours of fan usage
**Details**: Remove and clean the filters either by hand or in a dishwasher on low heat. Use a degreasing detergent and let them soak if heavily soiled. Make sure the filters are dry before reinstalling. -
3. **Task**: Inspect for Grease Accumulation on Fan and Filters
Frequency: **Frequency**: Frequently
**Details**: Clean ventilating fans regularly to prevent grease build-up which can impede performance and increase fire risks. -
4. **Task**: Charcoal Filter Replacement
Frequency: **Frequency**: After 120 hours of fan usage (if recirculating hood is enabled)
**Details**: The charcoal filters need to be replaced, and there is an indicator that will blink slowly to remind you.
- Clean the surface periodically with hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. Avoid using corrosive or abrasive detergents and cleaners that contain chlorine bleach.
- For the aluminum mesh filters, it is important to clean them regularly. They can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher on low heat settings. Use a degreasing detergent and soak them if they are heavily soiled.
- After cleaning, dry the filters thoroughly before reinstalling them and using the hood.
- Avoid letting grease accumulate on the fans or filters, as this can affect performance and may pose a fire risk. Clean ventilating fans frequently.
- Polish the surface of the range hood with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner after cleaning to maintain its luster. Use a clean microfiber or cotton cloth and scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Use the Right Ducting**: Ensure that the ducting is as short and straight as possible. Avoid flexible ducting, which can reduce efficiency by restricting airflow.
- **Clean Filters Regularly**: Clean the filters regularly to maintain optimal airflow and keep the fan from working harder than necessary, which increases energy use.
- **Utilize Delay Off Features**: If your range hood has a delay shut-off feature, use it to ensure all lingering odors and moisture are effectively removed without needing to keep the hood running longer than necessary.
- **Appropriate Usage of Fan Speed**: Use the lowest fan speed necessary to ventilate the kitchen effectively. Higher speeds use more energy and are typically necessary only when cooking particularly odorous or smoky foods.
- **Make Use of LED Lighting**: If your range hood is equipped with LED lighting options, use them as they consume less power compared to incandescent or halogen bulbs. Additionally, ensure these lights are switched off when not needed.
- To avoid explosion or fire, do not store or use combustible, flammable, or explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline) inside or near this appliance. Keep items that could explode, like aerosol cans, away from cooktop burners, ovens, and range hoods.
- Before cleaning or servicing the range hood, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent accidental power switch-on. If the panel cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device to it.
- Always turn on the hood when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food. Accumulated grease in the fans or filters should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease fires.
- Installation and electrical wiring must be performed by qualified individuals following all applicable codes and standards.
- Never leave surface units unattended at high settings to reduce the risk of a range-top grease fire. Boil-overs can cause smoking, and greasy spillovers can ignite.
