WARNING
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards
that can hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety
alert symbol.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS
APPLIANCE.
• The installation instructions in this manual are intended for qualified installers,
service technicians, or persons with similar qualified background. Installation
and electrical wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards, including first-rated construction. DO
NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing
the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background. Due to
the size and weight of this range hood, two people installation is recommended.
• Range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is
necessary to remove any parts for installing, cleaning or servicing.
• Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or
an explosion.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
• For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors. The combustion air flow needed for safe operation of
fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent back drafting.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at service panel and lock
service panel to prevent power from being switched ON accidentally.

General Safety
• Ducted range hoods MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors or in some
instances converted to recirculate the air. All our range hoods come with a
transition piece with a built-in damper. Some existing installations may already
have an external damper. Please consult an HVAC or installation professional for
advice to comply with local regulations.
• When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical
wiring or other hidden utilities.
• Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many
important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always
read and obey all safety messages. All safety messages will tell you what the
potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
• All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated, and grounded.
• Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced, if necessary, to avoid the
possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to insure proper
connection, all joints should be properly taped.
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any
questions, contact the vendor.
• When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be
replaced, this is called make-up air. If a makeup air system is needed, but not
used, a hood may not function as expected due to negative air pressure. We do
not currently provide a make-up air unit. Always consult any applicable building
codes in your area in regards to minimum and maximum air flow rates. Certain
states may require additional items such as make-up air for larger CFM range
hoods (typically over 300 CFM).
• Keep all fans, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-
laden surfaces clean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan,
baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel or oil container. Clean grease-laden surfaces
frequently.
• To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure to vent air
outside. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces,
ceilings, attics or garages.

General Safety
• All ZLINE range hoods are ETL listed, ensuring all parts were tested for safety
and meet industry standards and regulations. NOTE: This ensures all included
metal ducting pieces were tested for safety and are flame retardant.
• Always turn the range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking
flaming foods. Use high settings on the cooking range only when necessary.
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Clean ventilating fan frequently.
• Always use appropriate cookware and utensils size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A STOVE
TOP GREASE FIRE:
• Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn OFF
the burner. Never pick up a flaming pan—you may be burned.
• Keep flammable or combustible material away from flames. If the flames do not
go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department. DO NOT use water,
including wet dishcloths or towels—a violent steam explosion will result.

Use solid ducting made of galvanized steel wherever possible. Try and minimize the use
of elbows. It is recommended to establish 15-20” of vertical airflow from the top of the
hood before executing a 90° turn or elbow. More elbows and longer runs create higher
static pressure. No more than two to three elbows is allowed. Use 40 feet of ductwork
max. The hood comes with a grounded three prong plug that can be plugged into a 15
amp circuit.
