The Tornado Mini power pack was designed with cost efficiency and versatility in mind. Tornado Mini’s small footprint fits under the standard 12” cabinet depth — or choose one of our optional, adjustable-depth, stainless steel liners to accommodate custom hood enclosures from 17-1/2” to 20-1/2” deep. Features include dual-level LumiLight LED lights, an ultra-quiet blower, and a recirculating option for ductless installations.

  • LumiLight LED Lighting: LumiLight LED lights are eco-friendly and built to last with a lifetime of more than 25,000 hours. The tri-level dimmable LEDs require less energy than traditional halogen lights, are cool to the touch, and provide uniform light distribution.
  • Optional Ductless Recirculating Kit: Ductless recirculating kit used when venting air outside your home is not possible. Smoke and odors pass through charcoal filters allowing purified air to be reintroduced into the kitchen. (Part # ZRC-8400A)
  • Optional Adjustable Depth Liner: Part # AK0840AS, AK0846AS
