If your Awoco Ventilation Hood isn't venting properly, ensure the distance between the stove top and the hood's bottom is between 24” and 27”. Reduce the number of elbows and the length of duct work. Also, check that all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped. For heavy cooking, make sure the power is set to high speed.
What to do if Awoco Super Quiet Split or LED light doesn't work after installation?
If your Awoco Ventilation Hood or its LED light isn't working post-installation, first ensure the hood is plugged in and that power is turned on. Check the fuse and all electrical wirings to confirm they are properly connected. If the light is the issue, try swapping the light assembly with a working one to see if the bulb is defective.
Why does the blower or fan in my Awoco Ventilation Hood seem weak?
If the blower or fan of your Awoco Ventilation Hood seems weak, verify that the duct size used is at least 8 inches, as insufficient duct size will affect the hood's efficiency. Check if the duct is clogged or if the air damper unit isn't installed or opening correctly. Also, a tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might restrict airflow.
What to do if lights work but the blower is not spinning, is stuck or is rattling in Awoco Ventilation Hood?
If the lights on your Awoco Ventilation Hood are working, but the blower isn't spinning, is stuck, or is rattling, the blower might be jammed or scraping due to shipping damage. Disconnect the power, open the blower unit case, and rotate the fan blade. If the fan blade or motor is offset, try to adjust it.

This document serves as an Installation Guide and User Manual for the Awoco Super Quiet Split Series Under Cabinet Range Hoods, specifically models RH-SP08 (30” and 36”). These range hoods are designed with a 6" height, an 8" top vent, and a 1mm thickness.
The Awoco Super Quiet Split Series Range Hoods are designed to provide efficient ventilation for kitchens, removing cooking odors, smoke, and grease from the air. Unlike traditional range hoods, this model features a "split series" design, meaning the blower unit is separate from the hood unit. The hood unit is installed under the cabinet, while the blower unit is intended to be kept inside the home, such as in the attic or crawl space, to minimize noise in the kitchen. This design contributes to a "super quiet" operation, enhancing the user experience. The system works by drawing air from the cooking area through baffle filters in the hood unit, then channeling it through ductwork to the remotely located blower unit, which exhausts the air outdoors. The hood unit includes a control panel for managing fan speeds and lighting.
Before installation, it is strongly recommended to test the unit for any defects or damage from shipment. This involves unpacking the hood and accessories, removing baffle filters, checking for dents or loose parts, and then placing the hood and blower unit on a flat, stable surface. The Speed Control Cord from the hood unit must be connected to the blower unit's five corresponding wires inside the top connection box. After plugging into a 120V AC power source, users should press the power button and speed buttons to turn on the unit, checking for unusual metal touching noises, speed variation, and proper light function. All functions should be verified according to Section 9, "RANGE HOOD OPERATIONS," and any malfunctions addressed using Section 10, "TROUBLESHOOTING." It is crucial to remove the white protective film from the stainless steel baffle filters before using the range hood.
The range hood operates via a soft-touch electronic control panel with LED lights.
Installation requires careful planning and execution. The blower unit must always be kept indoors (attic, crawl space, etc.) and never installed outside. The range hood is designed for 8" top venting through the roof or wall. Two 8" round ducts are recommended for maximum airflow efficiency, preferably rigid or semi-rigid metal/aluminum ducts. A straight, short vent run is ideal for efficient performance, minimizing transitions, elbows, and long runs. The air damper is recommended to be installed on the top vent of the Blower unit. All connections should be fastened with sheet metal screws and sealed with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape, and caulking should be used to seal exterior wall or roof openings around the cap.
The recommended distance between the stove top and the bottom of the range hood is 24" to 27" for ideal performance, with a minimum of 24" for safety. When installing under a cabinet with a recessed bottom, 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not provided) should be attached to each side. The range hood is mounted under the cabinet by puncturing knockout screw holes on the top, drawing the power and speed control cords through cabinet openings, centering the hood, and securing it with screws into the cabinet bottom. Two people are required for this installation. For enhanced security, screws can also be mounted through pre-drilled holes or newly drilled holes from inside the back of the hood to studs or lumber. The blower unit is securely mounted to lumber in the attic. The Speed Control Cord from the hood is connected to the blower unit's top connection box, ensuring wires are securely connected with electrical nuts according to color (black wire is neutral in this cord). The power cord is connected to a designated grounded standard 110V outlet, or the plug can be cut off, and the three wires (black, white, green) connected to house wires with wire connectors (black to black, white to white, green to green).
Regular maintenance is crucial for the range hood's performance and longevity.
