Wall Hood Installation
Wall Hood Installation
The recommended height to install your hood is 30˝ minimum and 36˝ maximum
above the cooktop. For Outdoor (304 Series) hood installation, the unit must be
installed at a minimum of 36˝ and a maximum of 42” above the grill.
1. Find the center of the wall where you are installing the hood. Make sure there
is sufficient bracing to hold the weight of the hood. Mark your center line and
measure out from the center to find your two mounting points. Make sure your
mounting points are level when you mark them. It is recommended to install the
hood directly into wood supports. Figure 1
2. Mark the mounting points and install the two mounting screws provided leaving
the heads out ¼˝ to mount the hood. Figure 1
3. Mount the main body of the hood to the two screws and screw into place.

4. Mount the top chimney mounting bracket centering it above the hood. Figure 3

5. Install the transition piece securing it with the screws provided. Figure 4
6. Make your electrical and ducting connections. Try and minimize the use of
elbows. More elbows and longer runs create higher static pressure. The hood
comes with a grounded three prong plug that can be plugged into a 15 amp
circuit. The cord is 36” long. Figure 5
7. Connect the ducting to the transition piece using foil-backed tape to hold it into
place. Attach the ducting to the range hood. Before installing baffle filters, make
sure that you insert the clear, plastic grease cup under the motor blower.
NOTE: ZLINE provides a ducting ring for the 8” metal ductwork. The ring for the PVC
6” can be found at the local hardware store.
NOTE: Place the cord behind the chimney or in the attic. An
outlet behind the chimney, to either the left or right is ideal.
