• Many factors could be the root cause for reduced air-flow.
Installation could be the problem: Your hood was designed to
meet specific ducting requirements. Refer to the Installation
Instructions or if gou do not have them, go to GEAppliances.com.
If gour duct length exceeds the manufacturer's requirements,
hood performance will suffer. Air-flow will also be reduced if the
house duct work is too small or there are too mang elbows in the
sgstem. Contact gour installer or builder.
Obstruction in duct work could be the problem: Hake sure nothing is
blocking the vent (bird nests or kinks in the duct work).
Damper blade mag not be opening. Make sure the tape is removed
from the damper blades and that it swings open freelg.
Damper blade on Wall or Roof Cap may not be opening. Contact
gour builder so theg can make sure the damper swings open freelg.
Dirtg filters/baffles-make sure filters (and all hood surfaces) are
kept clean of grease and dirt.
Sufficient makeup (replacement} air is required for exhausting
appliances to operate to rating. Check with local building codes,
which mag require or stronglg advise the use of makeup air."
