Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting

Zephyr Tornado III AK8300BSX - Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting - 1

A minimum of 10" round duct must be used for AK8200BS to maintain maximum air flow efficiency.

A minimum of 6" or 10" round duct must be used for AK8300BSX.

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

Also use calculation (on page 8) 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.

If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from hood duct output and as far apart, between the two 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 36".

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.

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.
