Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting

text_image
24" min. 32" max. 36"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.
Ducting Options

WARNING

Fire Hazard: NEVER exhaust air or terminate ductwork into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics, or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside, unless using the recirculating option.
▶ Use single wall rigid metal ductwork only.
▶ Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints w/ certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

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.

WARNING

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

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.

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

After re-positioning the jumper and powering on the hood, the CFM cannot be changed again.
Enabling ACT™
To enable ACT™:
- Before hood installation, gain access to PC board by following the steps shown on FIG. D.
- Change plastic jumper positioning as shown in FIG. E to set the desired maximum blower CFM.
- Re-install PC board and continue with hood installation.
- 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™:
-
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 -
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
- There should also be a foil label located inside the hood body near the wiring diagram that indicates the blower CFM.

Zephyr Ventilation, LLC (referred to herein as "we" or "us") warrants to the original consumer purchaser (referred to herein as "you" or "your") of Zephyr products (the "Products") that such Products will be free from defects in materials or workmanship as follows:
Ten Year Limited Warranty for Parts: For ten years from the date of your original purchase of the Products, we will provide, free of charge, Products or parts (including LED light bulbs, if applicable) to replace those that failed due to manufacturing defects. We may choose, in our sole discretion, to repair or replace parts before we elect to replace the Products.
One Year Limited Warranty for Labor: For one year from the date of your original purchase of the Products, we will provide, free of charge, the labor cost associated with repairing the Products or parts to replace those that failed due to manufacturing defects. After the first year from the date of your original purchase, you are responsible for all labor costs associated with this warranty.
Warranty Exclusions: This warranty covers only repair or replacement, at our option, of defective Products or parts and does not cover any other costs related to the Products including but not limited to: (a) normal maintenance and service required for the Products and consumable parts such as fluorescent, incandescent or halogen light bulbs, mesh and charcoal filters and fuses; (b) any Products or parts which have been subject to freight damage, misuse, negligence, accident, faulty installation or installation contrary to recommended installation instructions, improper maintenance or repair (other than by us); (c) commercial use of the Products or use otherwise inconsistent with its intended purpose; (d) natural wear of the finish of the Products or wear caused by improper maintenance, use of corrosive and abrasive cleaning products, pads, and oven cleaner products; (e) chips, dents or cracks caused by abuse or misuse of the Products; (f) service trips to your home to teach you how to use the Products; (g) damage to the Products caused by accident, fire, floods, acts of God; or (h) Custom installations or alterations that impact serviceability of the Products.

Limitations of Warranty. OUR OBLIGATION TO REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT OUR OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THE PRECEDING SECTION ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES.
