MAINTENANCE
Self Clean Feature
All Zephyr Range Hoods are filter-less and are designed with a self clean feature. The centrifugal blower system automatically liquefies grease accumulated in its internal housing. All systems are equipped with dishwasher safe grease containers for its self clean function.
Grease and residue from cooking are often automatically liquefied and can accumulate in the containers from everyday use. Nevertheless, grease from cooking could also dry and adhered in its internal housing. Running the self clean function periodically will flush out the accumulated grease in the range hood’s internal housing.
Cleaning Frequency
Cleaning should be approximately once a month under normal use.
Detergent
Grease cutting detergent such as ‘409’ or its equivalent are recommended.
Cleaning
Safety Grill
Remove both safety grills for cleaning by simply loosening Philips screws. Clean safety grills in dishwasher under normal wash cycle.
WARNING: Use with extreme caution as both safety grills are removed. Beware of blowers catching on to hair, loose clothing, and fingers. NEVER leave children unattended.
Self Clean
Turn both blowers on Low speed for cleaning.
For Hurricane series, simply set Timed Delay Off to 5 minutes as indicated.

MAINTENANCE
With nozzle on ‘spray’, squirt ‘409’ detergent directly onto blower blades 30-35 times.
Repeat with second blower. Allow self cleaning to run for 5 minutes before switching off. (If desired, spray water to rinse off detergent after
completion of the cleaning cycle and run for another few minutes)
Remove residue containers by gently sliding out with both hands. Clean in dishwasher under normal wash cycle.
Hurricane Series:
Remove light shield by turning counter­clockwise.
Clean in dishwasher under normal wash cycle.
6
Whirlwind Series:
Remove light shield by unscrewing Philips screw.
Clean in dishwasher under normal wash cycle.
Cleaning Tip:
Fill residue containers ¼ full with water before cleaning or during regular use. This will help to prevent grease from drying and tacking on cup surface.
Warning: Edges on stainless steel surface are exposed once shield is removed. Clean around edges with extreme care and we recommend the use of latex cleaning gloves.
7
QuattroVent Channels
The QuattroVent Air-Curtain channels are adjoined to its two main blowers and share the same internal housing. No further cleaning is required after the self clean is completed.
Clean residue around the channels surface with ‘409’ and a cotton cloth regularly.
Surface Maintenance
Clean all surface residue with ‘409’ or mild detergent and wipe with a cotton cloth. Stainless steel surface could further be polished with any stainless steel polish or glass cleaners.
Replacing Lights
All light bulbs included are 40W appliance bulb. Replace with 60W bulbs if brighter illumination are desired. Remove light shield according to instructions on page 6.
Warning: Edges on stainless steel surface are exposed once shield is removed. Replace bulb through opening with extreme care. We recommend wearing of latex gloves.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION NOTES
Step 6:
A damper (not included) should be installed to prevent back-draft where needed. A damper might also be required local codes in order to qualify for building inspections. You can purchase dampers from most hardware stores, or call our service line to order.
When a damper is not installed, a starting collar is provided in order to increase and raise the duct opening clearance above the cabinet's base. Snap the adaptor's smaller end to hood's duct opening and secure by drilling 2 pilot holes and fasten with screws (as shown on step 6, page 10).
Step 9:
The hood should NEVER be installed so that the front is tilting downward. This will cause grease to back flow to the front instead of the rear. ALWAYS level the hood or slightly tilt front of hood upward. Some models includes 2 pre­installed bumpers on the rear (or top) to aid the hood front tilt upward when installed. Remove the bumpers simply by peeling off if hood is preferred to be installed leveled. (refer diagram)
16
Step 12:
A connector locking the electrical wiring on the electrical box is recommended and might be required by local codes. Check with local inspectors, purchase and install the appropriate connector in order to meet all mandatory codes. Call our service line to order connector.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Upon completion of installation, nothing works.
2. Light is on but blowers are not turning at all or seems to be scraping on something.
3. When blowers are on, something seems to be loose and spinning around inside.
4. Vibration when blowers are on
5. Blowers noise
6. Light is not working
7. No grease is collected in the residue containers
Check if unit has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been turned back on and all electrical wiring are properly connected.
Blower blade unit might have been mounted too low and scraping the bottom or jammed. Loosen hex screw on blade unit and adjust to proper height.
There might have been foreign particles left within the discharge opening or rocks, leaves, branches, etc. that might have fell in from old duct work. Disconnect duct work to inspect and remove any foreign particles.
Unit might not have been secured properly on cabinet. Or cabinet might need to be further secured into studs on wall.
Our blowers are designed to perform up to 695 cfm. A properly functioning motor itself should be relatively quiet. Nevertheless, due to vacuum created by the suction, noise level up to 5.5 sones will be generated when both blower unit is turned on at its maximum speed. Employ both blowers at maximum speed only when needed (heavy pan frying, wok cooking etc.) Employing low speeds or a single blower will suffice moderate cooking such as steaming, broiling etc.
Light bulb might need to be replaced. On some instances, the fragile bulb could have been damaged during the shipping process. Simply replace with a 40 or 60W appliance bulb.
Grease flow will vary by the amount, methods and types of cooking. If pan-frying is frequent accompanied by steaming, vapor from steam will liquefy accumulated grease in its internal housing and flows in the containers. No grease collected in the residue containers is normal until the self clean function is completed. Clean blowers approximately once a month as instructed to avoid clogging.
8. No grease is collected in the residue containers after self cleaning.
9. Safety grill are dirty
10. Blowers seemed weak
Tubes connected to the internal housing might have been clogged due to lack of cleaning. Or hood might not have been leveled when installed. Unclog tubes or re-install hood (refer page 16).
The self clean feature cleans only the internal housing within the range hood. Remove safety grill to clean in dishwasher and clean all surface periodically as instructed.
Check duct size used, duct size should be at least 6“ or 3­1/4 x 10”. Range hood WILL NOT function properly with the insufficient duct size. Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit is not opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction to the air flow.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Use a damper type sidewall cap. Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed and taped.
18
11. Cooking fumes and smoke dissipates before it reaches the blower.
Check if unit is installed at the recommended height (page 9). The range hood should also be able to cover the entire cooking area from left to right and most areas from rear to front. Open doors and windows might also distract air flow before it reaches the blowers. Make sure blowers are on high speed for heavy cooking.
