TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FAQs

No Power

1. Check electrical connections.
2. Check that all connections to the circuit board are secure.
3. If problem still exists, the circuit board needs to be replaced.

What size hood should I choose for CFM purposes?

1. You must determine the output of the cooktop burners of your range; this is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU's).
2. You should provide 100 CFM of airflow per linear foot of range. To determine this, divide the BTU rating of your range by 100. This will give you the rating of the Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM's) rating needed of your range hood. For example: If your range is 35,000 BTUs, your range hood should have a rating of 350 CFM's or greater.
3. To determine the size of the range hood for satisfactory capture, it is recommended to go at least one size larger than your range, about 3" to 6" wider. At minimum, it should be the same size of your range. The range hood width should cover 100% of the back burners and 50% of the front burners.
4. The height of your range hood should be between 30" to 36" above your cooktop. Example: 60,000 BTU's = 600CFM's

How loud is the range hood?

A sone is measure of loudness, the higher the sone rating, the louder the sound of the hood. The sound of one sone is comparable to that of a quiet refrigerator. Keep in mind that other factors such as the size of the blowers can affect the loudness of the range hood. The higher the CFM, the louder the sone rating will be.

Can my hood be ductless?

Ideally, it is better to duct your range hood to the outside, but if this is not possible, ductless is a great alternative. Many of our range hoods do have the capability to be converted to ductless. Ductless is when the air circulates through the carbon filter removing odors, grease, smoke etc. The clean air is re-circulated back into your home through carbon/charcoal filters. These filters are not reusable and will need to be changed out once every six months, de-pending on cooking style and frequency.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FAQs

What type of stainless steel are our hoods made of?

Our indoor stainless steel hoods are made with a 430 stainless steel. Our outdoor hoods are made of 304 stainless steel, this type is stronger and more resistant to rust and corrosion.

Do I need a chimney extension or a shortening kit when I purchase my hood?

Your hood will come with a default chimney that has a telescoping chimney to allow for an ad-justable mounting height for a ceiling of up to 9 to 9.5 feet. An extension is needed for a ceiling from 10^ to 12^ tall. A short chimney is recommended for a ceiling height of 8ft, however mea-sure to be certain. All extensions and short kits will come with brackets that go specifically with that chimney.

How many amps?

For dual motors it is up to 6amps. For single motors it is 3 amps.

What type of motor is in the range hoods?

Our hoods have a squirrel cage motor.

Is the width of my range hoods description, the actual size?

No, the actual size of the range hood will be slightly less than the generic description of the range hood. For instance: a 30" range hood will most likely be 29-7/8". Refer to your particular model for the exact width.

How do I clean my grease filter and how often?

Your grease filter should be washed with hot water and detergent once per month or placed in a dishwasher for cleaning. Make certain the filter is completely dry before reinstalling. Re-place the grease filter if it becomes damaged or too dry to clean.

Can I clean my charcoal, odor filter?

No, charcoal odor filters cannot be washed and must be discarded and replaced, when they become noticeably dirty, have stopped filtering the odors, or at least once per year.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FAQs

What is the best way to duct my range hood?

To maximize your range hood's performance, match your duct size to the original size of the fan's ducting. Use the shortest amount of ducting as possible and keep the ducting as straight as possible. Do not exceed 40 feet of ducting. For every elbow deduct five feet from the total.

Do I have to exhaust the range hood to the outdoors?

Yes. If installing a range hood that has ductwork connected to it (any hoods that do NOT recirculate the air back into the room), to properly exhaust the air, be sure to duct the air out side. DO NOT vent exhaust air back into the spaces within the walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages. A buildup of humidity and grease could cause damage and/or a fire risk to your home.

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 in 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 light 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).

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FAQs

How do I order replacement parts?

Replacement parts can be ordered by contacting our customer service department. All hoods have a three year warranty on parts. Have your model number or order number available when calling customer service.

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.
