Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BH140SLDSS?

A: The Vent-A-Hood BH140SLDSS is a 40 3/8-inch wall-mounted hood liner insert designed to be installed within a custom-built decorative hood. It features a stainless-steel finish and a filterless "Magic Lung" blower system.

Q: What is the "Magic Lung" filterless design?

A: Instead of mesh or baffle filters, the Magic Lung system uses centrifugal force to separate grease from the air. This makes the blower quieter and safer, and its parts are removable for easy cleaning.

Q: What is the recommended mounting height for the BH140SLDSS?

A: The ideal mounting height is between 24 and 27 inches above the cooking surface. Installing it higher than this may reduce the hood’s effectiveness.

Q: How should the ductwork be connected?

A: Use duct tape only to attach transitions and ducting to the hood’s top. Avoid using screws, as they can obstruct the internal damper.

Q: How do you clean the Magic Lung blower?

A: The blower components can be disassembled and cleaned in warm, soapy water or placed in the dishwasher.

Q: How should the stainless-steel exterior be cleaned?

A: Clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, warm water, and mild dish detergent. Always wipe in the direction of the metal grain and avoid harsh chemicals like bleach to prevent corrosion.

Q: Why is the fan making a rubbing or scraping noise?

A: This may be due to a loose blower wheel or the wheel rubbing against the housing. Refer to the Magic Lung Homeowner’s Maintenance Guide to reposition the blower wheel or ensure the housing is properly seated.

Q: Why isn’t the hood venting properly?

A: Check the following:

• Damper: Ensure it opens and closes freely.
• Ducting: Confirm the ductwork is properly sized and clear of restrictions.
• Mounting Height: Verify it’s installed between 24 and 27 inches above the cooktop.
• Blower Wheels: Make sure they are free of excessive grease buildup.

Q: Why does the fan turn on or speed up by itself?

A: The BH140SLDSS has SensaSource heat detection, which automatically increases blower speed when it senses excessive heat to protect the unit. It returns to the previous setting or turns off once the temperature normalizes.

Q: What warranty does the BH140SLDSS have?

A: It comes with a five-year limited warranty on parts and a one-year limited warranty on labor from the purchase date.

Q: What is not covered under the warranty?

A: The warranty excludes light bulbs, damage from faulty installation, freight damage, blower wheel damage, and any misapplication or modification of the hood.

Q: How do I file a warranty claim?

A: Contact the authorized dealer where you purchased the hood. They will coordinate with the appropriate service agents.
