Why is my Zephyr AK1200CW not venting out properly?

  If your Zephyr Ventilation Hood isn't venting out properly, several factors could be the cause. Ensure you're using the correct size of ducting (at least 3-1/4”x10” or higher, or 7” round or higher for AK12 models). Avoid flexible ducting, which can reduce airflow; instead, use solid rigid metal ducting. Check that the hood is positioned correctly, maintaining a distance of 24” to 36” above gas cooktops or 20” to 36” above electric cooktops. Closing nearby windows and doors can eliminate wind interference. Finally, inspect the duct opening and ductwork for any blockages and remove them.

  Several factors can cause improper venting. Ensure the ducting is at least 3-1/4”x10” or higher and made of solid, rigid metal, as flexible ducting can reduce airflow by up to 50%. Also, the hood should be positioned between 24” and 32” from the cooktop. External wind from open windows or doors can affect ventilation, so close them. Finally, check for and remove any blockages in the ductwork or duct opening.
