Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your range hood, consult the following common solutions:
- No Power: Check the circuit breaker and ensure the unit is properly connected to the power supply.
- Fan Not Operating: Verify that the fan speed is selected on the control panel. If connected via Bluetooth, ensure the cooktop is active and properly paired.
- Lights Not Working: Check the light button on the control panel. If individual LED lights are out, they may require replacement by a qualified technician.
- Excessive Noise: Ensure filters are clean and properly seated. Check for any obstructions in the fan or ductwork. High fan speeds will naturally produce more noise (Noise Level: 75 Decibels at maximum setting).
- Poor Ventilation: Clean filters. Check for blockages in the ductwork. Ensure the hood is correctly sized for your cooking surface and that external vents are not obstructed.
- SmartThings App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and the range hood is within range. Re-pair the device in the SmartThings app if necessary.
