5. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your range hood, refer to the following general troubleshooting tips. For more detailed solutions, consult the full product manual or contact customer support.
- Fan not operating: Check if the unit is properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker is tripped. Ensure the power button is pressed.
- Poor ventilation: Verify that the grease filters are clean and not clogged. For ducted installations, check for obstructions in the ductwork. For non-ducted installations, ensure the recirculation kit is correctly installed and its filters are clean.
