Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting

Zephyr AK2136CS - Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting - 1

Mounting Height, Clearance, & 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 for vertical ducting. For horizontal ducting, 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct is the minimum size.

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

Use calculation worksheet 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 duct opening and as far apart between the two transitions as possible.

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

Maximum mount 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 performance and efficiency.

If available, also refer to range manufacturer's height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range. Always check your local codes for any differences.

For shipment and installation damages:

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.

Hood & Filter Cleaning

Self-cleaning Feature

Zephyr Typhoon, Hurricane and Cyclone hoods are filter-less with a self cleaning feature. The centrifugal blower system automatically liquefies 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 liquefied 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.

Zephyr AK2136CS - Detergent - 1

WARNING

Zephyr AK2136CS - WARNING - 1

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

Hood & Filter Cleaning

Cleaning Instructions

Zephyr AK2136CS - Hood & Filter Cleaning - 1

  1. Power on blowers at Speed 1.

Zephyr AK2136CS - Hood & Filter Cleaning - 2

  1. 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.

Zephyr AK2136CS - Hood & Filter Cleaning - 3

  1. Remove residue cups. Clean residue cups and in dishwasher or clean by hand. Install residue cups after cleaning.

Hood & Filter Cleaning

Surface Maintenance

Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing chloride.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage surface.

Cleaning Stainless Steel

Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain. To remove heavier grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent.

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

Cleaning Black Stainless Steel

Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth. To remove heavier grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent.

Due to a built-in layer of protective anti-smudge coating, do not use stainless steel polish/cleaners to buff out black stainless steel.

LumiLight LED & LED Light Strip

In the unlikely event that your LumiLight LED or LED light strip fails, please contact Zephyr to order replacement parts.

Airflow Control Technology (ACT™)

Some local codes limit the maximum amount of CFM a range hood can move. ACT™ allows you to control the maximum blower CFM of select Zephyr Ventilation range hoods without the need for expensive make up air kits. ACT™ enables the installer to easily set the maximum blower speed to one of two most commonly specified CFM levels; 390 or 290 CFM. The usage of ACT™ may not be necessary for your installation. Please check your local codes for CFM restrictions.

Zephyr AK2136CS - Airflow Control Technology (ACT™) - 1

CAUTION

Zephyr AK2136CS - CAUTION - 1

Hood must be disconnected from the main power prior to performing the conversion instructions listed below. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the product.

Zephyr AK2136CS - CAUTION - 2

CAUTION

Zephyr AK2136CS - CAUTION - 1

After re-positioning the jumper and powering on the hood, the CFM cannot be changed again.

Enabling ACT™

To enable ACT™:

  1. Before hood installation, gain access to PC board by following the steps shown on FIG. D.
  2. Change plastic jumper positioning as shown in FIG. E to set the desired maximum blower CFM.
  3. Re-install PC board and continue with hood installation.
  4. Remove the appropriate foil CFM sticker included with the hood literature and place inside the hood body below the wiring diagram or in another clearly visible location.

To verify if your installer enabled ACT™:

  1. Model Typhoon AK21: With hood off, hold down the power button for 5 seconds. If all speed level indicators illuminate = default max. CFM, if speed Q, 2 & 3 level indicators illuminate = 390 max. CFM, if speed Q & 2 level indicators illuminate = 290 max. CFM. Model Hurricane AK25: With hood off, hold down the power button for 5 seconds. If all speed level indicators illuminate = default max. CFM, if speed 1 & 2 level indicators illuminate = 390 max. CFM, if speed 1 level indicator illuminate = 290 max. CFM
  2. When ACT™ is enabled, the number of blower speeds will be reduced as follows: Model Typhoon AK21: 390 CFM = max. 3 speeds, 290 CFM = max. 2 speeds Model Hurricane AK25: 390 CFM = max. 2 speeds, 290 CFM = max. 1 speed
  3. There should also be a foil label located inside the hood body near the wiring diagram that indicates the blower CFM.
