  If your Zephyr Ventilation Hood isn't venting out properly, several factors could be the cause. Ensure you're using solid, rigid metal ducting, as flexible ducting can significantly reduce airflow. Check that the hood is positioned correctly, maintaining a distance between 24” and 32” from the cooktop. Eliminate any external wind by closing nearby windows and doors. Finally, inspect the ductwork and opening for any blockages.

  If your Zephyr Ventilation Hood turns on by itself, it might be because a spotlight or kitchen lamp is shining directly onto the switch controls. These controls are light sensitive, and a direct light source may disrupt their function.
