  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. The switch controls are light sensitive, and a direct light source can disrupt their function.

Why is my Zephyr Ventilation Hood not venting properly?
- D
  Derrick CowanSep 6, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Zephyr Ventilation Hood might not be venting properly. It could be due to using the wrong type of ducting; flexible ducting can reduce airflow by up to 50%, so change to solid rigid metal ducting. The hood might be hanging too high from the cooktop; adjust the distance to be within 24” and 32”. Also, wind from opened windows or doors can affect ventilation, so close them. Finally, there might be a blockage in the duct opening or ductwork; remove any obstructions.
