Frequently Asked Questions - WRF900CS WESTINGHOUSE

How do I install the WRF900CS range hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted securely under a cabinet or on the wall, with proper ductwork to the outside. Refer to the user manual for detailed steps and safety instructions.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum mesh grease filter at least once a month or more frequently if you cook heavily. Wash it in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack) and let it dry completely before reinstalling.

Can I use this hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, if you cannot vent outside, you can use the hood in recirculation mode. You will need to install a charcoal filter (sold separately) to absorb odors. Replace the charcoal filter every 3-6 months.

What type of light bulbs does it use?

The WRF900CS uses 2 x 40W halogen bulbs (G4 base) or equivalent LED bulbs. Ensure the bulbs are rated for high temperatures and replace them with the same type.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise may come from a clogged filter, loose components, or improper installation. Check the filter for debris, tighten screws, and ensure ductwork is secure. Normal operation can reach up to 65 dB on high speed.

How do I reset the filter reminder?

If your model has a filter reminder light, press and hold the fan speed button (or dedicated reset button) for 3-5 seconds until the light turns off. Refer to your manual for exact steps.

What are the dimensions of the WRF900CS?

The hood is 90 cm wide, 50 cm deep, and 10-15 cm tall (adjustable). It fits standard 90 cm cooktops. Ensure your cabinet opening matches these dimensions.

Does this hood come with a charcoal filter?

No, the WRF900CS comes with a grease filter only. If you plan to use recirculation mode, you must purchase a compatible charcoal filter separately.

What is the warranty coverage?

Westinghouse offers a 1-year limited warranty covering parts and labor for manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required. Does not cover damage from improper installation or misuse.

Can I convert the hood from ducted to recirculating?

Yes, the hood can be converted. You need to purchase a charcoal filter kit and remove the duct cover. Instructions are provided in the manual. Ensure the damper is closed if recirculating.
