Hi All,
Is it normal for a rangehood not to suck the steam in?
The motor works, the light turns on but it does not suck the steam in.
Thanks,
Anton

1) Hood is trying to vent through a hole that is not there. You need to confirm whether this is the case by looking inside the cabinet above the hood and seeing if there is a duct or chimney like buildout inside the cabinet. If there isn't any, then it may be that your hood was installed for recirculation but has not been set up for it. As said before there are often extra hardware inclusions that change a hood setting from vent to recirculate - others have a manual switch, it depends on the brand. Your product documentation should contain details about this. 2) The hood is faulty. Who supplied the appliances? If they are part of a package provided by the kitchen fabricator or the builder then they should be checking this out for you. If you supplied the appliance then your first stop should be talking to the boys who installed it. Do you have site access? If so then either of these parties should be able to at least talk you through a quick check over the phone to establish any possible basic issues. You could also contact Blanco and get their recomendation for establishing whether this is an installation or product fault issue - but it might be a bit hit/miss getting to talk to someone who can actually do this for you. Good luck. Cheers, Earl Re: Slide out rangehood problem 5Dec 09, 2008 8:26 pm what brand is your rangehood? does your slide out rangehood has venting holes at the front of the unit just behind the front strip, like the Omega one shown below? I think only Omega, Robinhood, Blanco and Ariston make front venting recirculating slide out rangehoods. If yours is not one of those then you'll need to release the air thru a piece of duct either back to the room (recirculating) or to outside (ducted).
