Maximum Duct Length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length should not exceed 100 equivalent feet.

24" min. 32" max. 36"

DUCTING

A minimum of 6" round for AK65 and 7" round for AK21 and AK25 or 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow efficiency.

Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.

Also use calculation (on page 7) to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.

ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6" to 7" or 7" to 8".

If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from hood duct output and as far apart, between the two as possible.

Minimum mounting height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24".

Maximum mounting height should be no higher than 32".

It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will lose its performance and efficiency.

If available, also refer range manufacturer's height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

Vertical Ducting:

6" round minimum (AK65)

7" round minimum (AK21, AK25)

3-1/4" x 10" rectangular minimum

Horizontal Ducting:

3-1/4"x10" rectangular minimum

DAMAGE-SHIPMENT / INSTALLATION:

  • Please fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
  • If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or replacement.
  • If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
  • If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair of replacement must be made by arrangement between customer and installer.

WARNING FIRE HAZARD

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.

Use metal ductwork only.

Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

SELF CLEAING FEATURE

Zephyr Typhoon, Hurricane and Cyclone hoods are filter-less with a self cleaning feature. The centrifugal blower system automatically liquifies cooking residue in its internal housing. All hoods are equipped with dishwasher safe residue cups to collect cooking residue during the self cleaning function.

Cooking residues are often automatically liquified and can accumulate in the residue cups from everyday use. Nevertheless, grease from cooking could also dry and adhere to the internal housing. Running the self clean function periodically will flush out accumulated residue in the range hood's internal housing.

CLEANING FREQUENCY

Cleaning should be performed approximately once a month under normal usage of 1 hour per day. The hood may need to be cleaned more often if you cook heavily.

DETERGENT

Use a grease cutting detergent such as Simple Green or 409.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
AK21—Q—2 3 AK25 1 AK65 3 2 1 0

1) Power on blowers at Speed 1
Line drawing of a front-mounted appliance with two fans and a control panel, showing airflow direction (no text or symbols)

3) Remove residue cups. Clean residue cups and in dishwaser or clean by hand. Install residue cups after cleaning.

Line drawing of a kitchen appliance with two fans and a hand holding a spray bottle (no text or symbols)

2) With nozzle on "spray", squirt grease cutting detergent onto blower wheel blades 30 - 35 times. Repeat for each blower. Leave blower on for 10 minutes. Detergent will collect in the residue cups.

WARNING

Use extreme caution while cleaning the hood. Beware of blowers catching on to hair, loose clothing and fingers. NEVER leave children unattended.

SURFACE MAINTENANCE

Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent, or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch and damage surface. Do not use products containing chlorine bleach or orange cleaners.

For heavier soil use liquid degreaser.

After cleaning, you may use non-abrasive stainless steel polish/ cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly using a micro fiber or clean cotton cloth and with grain.

CLEANING TIP

Fill residue cups 1/4 full with water after cleaning. This will help prevent residue from drying and sticking on the cup surface

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS

CAUTION: Light bulb becomes extremely hot when turned on.

DO NOT touch bulb until switched off and cooled. Touching hot bulbs could cause serious burns.

Make sure all power is turned off and bulbs are not hot.

Remove by turning bulb counter clockwise. Note: Bulb does not unscrew; it turns 60 degrees, stops and falls out.

If bulbs are difficult to turn due to prolonged use, firmly attach suction cup included in hardware package or use a rubber/latex glove and turn counter clockwise.

Replacement bulbs are available at specialty lighting stores. Purchase type MR16 (GU-10) 35W halogen.
