2. Safety Information
Always follow basic safety precautions when using this appliance to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- Ensure proper installation by a qualified technician in accordance with all local codes and standards.
- Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
- Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
- Use only for general ventilating purposes. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3. Setup and Installation
The Zephyr Savona range hood is designed for wall-mounted installation. It can be configured for either ducted or ductless (recirculating) ventilation, offering flexibility for various kitchen setups. Ductless conversion requires an optional recirculating kit (sold separately).
Key Installation Considerations:
- Ducting: Ensure proper duct sizing (6-inch round) and a clear path for exhaust.
- Height Above Cooktop: Maintain a distance of 24 to 34 inches between the cooktop and the bottom of the range hood for optimal performance and safety.
- Electrical: The unit requires a 120V, 60Hz electrical supply. Consult a qualified electrician for wiring.

4. Operating Instructions
Your Zephyr Savona range hood features intuitive ICON Touch® controls for easy operation of its various functions.
Controls:
- Power Button: Press to turn the hood on or off.
- Fan Speed Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through the 5 available fan speeds (290, 390, 600 CFM). Adjust the speed based on your cooking needs to effectively remove smoke and odors.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your range hood.
Filter Cleaning:
The aluminum mesh filters effectively trap grease and should be cleaned regularly. They are removable and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- To remove, locate the release latches on each filter and gently pull down.
- Place filters in the dishwasher or wash by hand with hot water and a mild detergent.
- Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.

Surface Cleaning:
Clean the stainless steel surfaces with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent scratching.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your range hood, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Fan Not Operating: Check if the unit is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the power button is pressed.
- Lights Not Working: Verify the light button is activated. Check if the LED bulbs need replacement (though LumiLight LEDs are designed for long life).
- Poor Suction: Ensure filters are clean and free of grease buildup. Check for obstructions in the ductwork. Confirm the fan speed is set appropriately for the cooking task.
- Excessive Noise: Check for loose parts or obstructions in the fan. Ensure the hood is securely mounted.
