Surfaces
CAUTION: When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that you do not touch the light bulb with
moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot light bulb may break if touched with a moist surface.
Always let the light bulb cool completely before cleaning around it.
• Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models) Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
• To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish.
Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning
the stainless steel surface.
NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to come in contact with filters and other non- enameled
surfaces.
• Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners on painted surfaces. They will scratch the
surface.
• Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp
cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may
be added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
You can solve many common problems easily, possibly saving you the cost of a service call. Try the
suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the servicer.
If the hood seems to be operating at high speed when the control is not set on high, or if ventilation
seems inadequate, check the following:
• Knockouts not removed from hood. Damper blade not opening.
• Reduced airflow because the duct is too small, or the duct length is too long.
• The duct is blocked.
• Undersized or restrictive wall or roof cap.
If the hood seems to make excessive noise:
• Fan may be hitting the filter. Turn off the fan and remove the filter. Bend the filter down
slightly in the center (into a dome shape) to allow fan clearance. Reinstall and adjust as
needed.
The fan does not work but the lights do:
• Switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
• Check the wiring connections. See the CONNECT WIRING section in these
Installation Instructions.
