DUCTING
A minimum of 6” round or 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular
ductmustbeusedtomaintainmaximumairow
efciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ductscouldrestrictairowbyupto50%.
Alsousecalculation(onpage5)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 26”.
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rehazard;whilehoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
loseitsperformanceandefciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.

Installation – Installing the Power Pack
1. Install optional AK08xxAS Stainless Steel Liner. Review
manual included with liner for more details.
2. If no liner is used cut out an opening in the bottom of the
cabinet by following the dimensions in FIG 1.
3. Lift Power Pack into opening and ensure locking clip has
lockedintoposition.(lockingclipislocatedonleftsideof
Power Pack. FIG 2
4.Fasten(2)M4screwsintoeachlongsideofPowerPack.
If a liner is used the screws will go through the Power Pack
mounting holes, then the liner and into the wood base.
note: Wood blocking may need to be added to cabinet
base if additional support is needed. see FIG 3 and FIG 4
5. Install duct work and seal with duct tape.
7. Install electrical.
8. Remove all packing materials before using Power
Pack. Switch power on and check for leaks around duct
tape.
9.Installlter.
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong
effectontheairow,noiseandenergyuseofthefan.Usetheshortest,
straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid
installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation
around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans
installedwithexistingductsmaynotachievetheirratedairow.
CAUTION: At least two installers ar
e
required
due to the weight and size of
the
hood.

DUCTLESS RECIRCULATING (AK8000BS ONLY):
Ductless recirculating is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.
When converted, the power pack functions in air “purifying” mode rather than exhausting the air. Fumes and
exhaustfromcookingisdrawnandlteredbyacharcoallter.Theairisthenpuriedandrecirculatedback
into the kitchen.
We recommend to always exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct work, if
possible.Thepowerpackismosteffectiveandefcientasanexhaustunit.Onlywhentheexhaustoptionis
not possible should you use the power pack in recirculating mode.
Whenconvertedtorecirculatingmode,acharcoallterisrequiredtobeinstalledontopofthestandard
aluminummeshlterandareturnairventisneededtodirectairbackintothekitchen.Thestandard
aluminummeshlterisintendedtocaptureresiduefromcookingandtheoptionalcharcoallterhelpsto
purify fumes exhausted from cooking in recirculating mode.
Purchase recirculating kit as follows, for AK8000AS ONLY:
Hood Model: Part No. Qty. to Order
AK8000BS ZRC-0100 1
Charcoalltersmustbereplacedapproximatelyevery3monthsbasedoffanaverageusageof1houraday.

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 char-
coal 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. If you are outside our service
area, additional charges may apply for shipping costs for warranty repair at our designated service locations and for the
travel cost to have a service technician come to your home to repair, remove or reinstall the Products. After the first year
from the date of your original purchase, you are also responsible for all labor costs associated with this warranty.
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. WE HEREBY DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCTS,
AND DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states or provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied
warranty or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties, the duration of any applicable
implied warranty is limited to the same ten-year period described above. Any oral or written description of the Products is for
the sole purpose of identifying the Products and shall not be construed as an express warranty. Prior to using, implementing
or permitting use of the Products, you shall determine the suitability of the Products for the intended use, and you shall assume
all risk and liability whatsoever in connection with such determination. We reserve the right to use functionally equivalent
refurbished or reconditioned parts or Products as warranty replacements or as part of warranty service. This warranty is not
transferable from the original purchaser and applies in the United States and Canada.
To Obtain Service Under Limited Warranty: To qualify for warranty service, you must: (a) notify us at the address or
telephone number stated below within 60 days of the discovery of the defect; (b) give the model number and part identifi-
cation number and serial number; and (c) describe the nature of any defect in the Product or part. At the time of the
request for warranty service, you must present evidence of your proof of purchase and proof of the original purchase
date. If we determine that the warranty exclusions listed above apply or if you fail to provide the necessary documenta-
tion to obtain service, you will be responsible for all shipping, travel, labor and other costs related to the services.
