• The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who should retain for local inspectors’ use and for future reference. • Due to the size and weight of ZLINE range hoods, two-person installation is highly recommended. • Use care when handling the range hood, chimney cover, baffle filters, and any parts or accessories, as sharp edges may lead to injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Ducted range hoods MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors or in some instances converted to recirculate the air. All ZLINE hoods come with a transition piece with a built-in damper. • Some existing installations may already have an external damper at the exit point of the home.
