  Decreased air flow in your Miller Ventilation Hood can occur for several reasons. You can try the following: * Reconnect extraction arm flexible tubing. * Inspect extraction arm tubing and replace it if damaged. * Remove obstructions from the fume extraction arm. * Remove debris from the spark guard. * Clean or replace the filter. It may also be necessary to have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check for correct fan rotation (counterclockwise as viewed from the shaft end of the motor).
