Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
No, you should not use any solid-state speed control device with TRADE-WIND ventilation units to prevent product damage or the risk of fire or electric shock.
Remove the filters by grasping the cylindrical knobs and sliding them towards the center until the other end drops down. Clean them frequently to prevent grease accumulation, which can become a fire hazard.
You should use only smooth metal ductwork that is appropriately sized. Flexible ductwork is not recommended as it creates back pressure. Ensure joints are sealed airtight using sheet metal screws and high-quality duct tape.
For models that include a remote control (like the VSL400 RC series), you will typically find the new remote control located behind the right-side baffle filter during initial unboxing.
For the quietest performance and to minimize motor noise, the in-line blower should be installed in the attic near or slightly beyond the mid-point of the duct system rather than directly above the hood.
