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.
