• 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.

• Determine the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside of your home before installation. • Ducting is not provided with your ZLINE range hood. It’s recommended to use solid ducting made of galvanized steel or another appropriate rigid metal ducting whenever possible for the lowest noise and highest flow.
BEFORE INSTALLATION VENTING METHODS This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. If venting through the top of the hood and eventually through the wall, use a 90° elbow. You can also vent directly from the rear of the hood. Below are examples of appropriate ducting options.
INSTALLATION To avoid damage to your hood or potential future injury, use care to prevent any debris from entering the vent opening. WARNING • Prior to installation, determine the location of the ventilation ducting from the hood to the outside. Refer to "Venting Requirements" on page 9. Additionally, use care to peel off the white plastic protective coat off the hood, if any.
