Zephyr ZPA-M90S Installation guide

USE, CARE, AND INSTALLATION GUIDE
Read all Instructions before Installing and operating this appliance
MODEL: ZPA-M90S
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
WARNING
Installation
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons
with similar qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury
could result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical
background.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Overly accumulated
grease in old duct work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary to
avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection
and all joints should be properly taped.
Operations
Read all instructions in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these instructions for
future reference.
Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating blowers
could catch on to hair, fingers and loose clothing.
NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into blowers.
NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch
fire. The risk of self combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.
Cleaning
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased inflammability.
Keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible fires.
Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see
cleaning instructions inside). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately. Do not
operated blowers when filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper
instructions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualified personnel only. Call
our service center for removal instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of failure to observe the
instructions given here for installation, maintenance and suitable use of the product.
The manufacturer further declines all responsibility for injury due to negligence and the
warranty of the unit automatically expires due to improper maintenance.

Coverage & exceptions

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 loose its
performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer's
height clearance requirements and
recommended hood mounting height above
range.
A minimum of 6" round 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 right) 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
8". If a reducer is used, install a long reducer
instead of a pancake reducer. Reduce duct
size as far away from opening as possible.
If turns or transitions are required:
Install as far away from opening and as far
apart, between 2, as possible.

EZ ANCHORS
Tap EZ anchor tip into marked drywall
locations, turn with screwdriver until seated
flush.
Note: Whenever possible, the hood should
be secured to wall studs.
Use EZ anchors provided only on hollow
drywall applications (minimum drywall
thickness ½”). If a stud or wood surface is
present, fasten anchors with screws directly
into stud or plywood. For all other wall
types (concrete, brick, tiles etc.), use
appropriate anchors for mounting.

Carbon Filters (Required)
1. Purchase ductless Charcoal Filters as
follow:
2. Remove metal filters on hood. Clip
carbon filters onto each slot opening.
3. Re-install metal filters.
4. Turn on Filter Change Indicator on
control panel (refer details pg. 7)
5. Carbon Filters must be replace after every
120 hours of use (or approximately every
2 to 3 months based on the average of 1-
2hrs. of daily cooking time). The
microprocessor in the controls when set,
will elapsed and count usage time and
indicate when carbon filter replacement is
required every 120 hrs.
Ducting
1. Install a 6" straight pipe and a "T"
connector/ or a 90 elbow to divert air
through louvers on duct cover.
2. You may also order our air diverting duct
kit; call 1-888-880-8368.

DUCTLESS CONVERSION
6" straight pipe
wall pipe strap
6" T connector
or 90 elbow
Ductless conversion is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be
installed. When converted, the hood functions as a "purifying" hood rather than an exhaust hood.
Fumes and exhaust from cooking is drawn and filtered by a set of optional Carbon Filters. The air
is then purified and re-circulated back within the home.
We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing
new duct work, if possible. The hood is most effective and efficient as an Exhaust unit. Only when
the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a "purifying"
unit.
When converted to be a "purifying" unit, a set of Carbon Filters are required on top of its standard
Metal Filter set. Order according to its Part number below. The standard Metal Filters are intended
to capture residue from cooking and the optional Carbon Filters help to purify fumes exhausted
from cooking for re-circulation.

Blower On/Off
By pressing , the blower is switched On and Off. When switched on, the blower starts up on
speed level 3.
Speed Selection
The 6 speed levels are selected by pressing to decrease and to increase speed level. The
display indicates level selected.
Delay Off
This is used for programmed shut down of blower and lights 15 minutes after the function is
activated. Press once, a dot flashes in the lower right hand side of display indicating
the function is on. The hood will completely shut down in 15 minutes.
Lights On/Off/ Dim

Advance Display Functions
Filters Clean Reminder (Metal):
After every 30 hours of use, the display will start flashing an reminding you to clean the
metal filters from residue and possible clogs.
The standard Metal Filters fitted are required to be cleaned frequently and as recommended in
order to maintain blower efficiency. If improperly maintained, residue from cooking will sift
through filters and cause damage to hood blowers and other sensitive components; and possibly
clog duct work and creates fire hazard.
Filters Change Reminder (Carbon, if fitted):
When your hood is installed as a 'Purifying' (Ductless Recirculating) unit, it is fitted with a set of
Carbon Filters to purify exhaust and fumes from cooking, and re-circulates the air within the home.
These Carbon Filters are required to be replaced after every 120 hours of use. The Filter Change
Reminder function in the microprocessor needs to be switched on. The microprocessor in the
controls when set, will elapsed and count usage time and indicate when carbon filter replacement is
needed every 120 hrs.
