of warm soapy water (liquid dish detergent) and let soak for a

C. Blower Wheel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the
power is turned off in the hood before removing the shield(s)
and blower housing(s).
Regular cleaning of the blower housing should prevent grease
accumulation on the blower wheel. If grease build-up should occur,
the blower wheel may easily be cleaned in place using a soft bristle
toothbrush and a common degreaser such as Formula 409
®
. Take
care not to move or lose the metal balancing clips that may be affixed
to the wheel (B).
In instances where the blower wheel may need to be removed, follow
the instructions below.
Removing the blower wheel requires a
1/8” hex wrench which has been
provided with this manual. There is a small set screw on the side of
the hub of the wheel (A) that tightens up against a “flat” spot on the
motor shaft. The set screw must be turned
1/2 turn counterclockwise
to remove the blower wheel. Insert wrench through the blades of the
blower wheel and into the set screw. If the wheel is difficult to remove,
the area where the motor shaft makes contact with the blower wheel
hub may need to be sprayed with a common penetrating oil such
as WD-40
