Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting
A minimum of 6” round vertical or horizontal duct must be used
to maintain maximum air flow eciency.
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.
Electric Cooktop: Min 20” - Max 36”
Gas Cooktop: Min 24” - Max 36”
If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from insert
duct output and as far apart, between the two as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to insert bottom
should be no less than 24” above gas cooktops and 20” above
electric cooktops.
36”
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended insert
mounting height above range.
For shipment and installation damages:
Ź Please fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
Ź If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or
replacement.
Ź If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
Ź 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.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than 36”.
It is important to install the insert at the proper mounting height.
Inserts mounted too low could result in heat damage and fire
hazard; while inserts mounted too high will be hard to reach and
will lose its performance and eciency.

Ductless Recirculation
Ductless recirculation is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be
installed. When converted, the insert functions as a recirculating insert rather than an exhaust insert.
Fumes and exhaust from cooking are drawn and filtered by an optional charcoal filter. 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 insert is most eective and ecient as an exhaust insert. Only when the
exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the insert into a recirculating insert.
When converted to be a recirculating insert, a charcoal filter is required on top of its standard mesh
grease filter. Order according to its part number below. The standard mesh grease filter is intended to
capture residue from cooking, and the optional charcoal filter helps to purify fumes exhausted from
cooking for recirculation.
Recirculating Kit Installation (required if no ducting is used)
For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the manual included with the recirculating kit.
Model Part Number Quantity to Order
AK85 ZRC-0085 1
1. Purchase recirculating kit per the part number above.
Remove mesh grease filter from insert. Place charcoal filter
on back side of mesh grease filter.
2. Place filter bracket over charcoal filter and secure in
place by tucking each end of bracket under the mesh grease
filter frame. FIG. I. Reinstall mesh grease filter.
Order replacement charcoal filters as follows:
