Check Operation
Once the make up air switch duct and the motorized damper(s)
are installed, the installer should confirm that the motorized
damper opens and closes in conjunction with signals from the
hood.
■ The motorized damper should close or be closed when
the range hood speed switch is Off or On at low speed.
■ The motorized damper should open when the range hood
speed switch is set at medium speed or higher.
A qualified HVAC contractor should also ensure the proper
operation and venting of all combustion equipment in the home.
Makeup Air Kit Maintenance
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the proper operation
of the makeup air system. Failure to conduct routine maintenance
can reduce the ability of the damper to introduce fresh air into the
home. Regular maintenance should include the following
activities:
■ Maintain a clear opening at the outdoor end cap, keeping
snow, leaves or vegetation from building up at the end
cap.
■ Clean or replace the interior filter(s) that serve to filter
fresh air before it enters the home.
■ During regular HVAC maintenance, have the mechanical
contractor inspect the damper system for proper
operation.
