10. CAN I VENT MY WALL-MOUNTED RANGE HOOD RIGHT OUT OF THE WALL?

For an efficient pull on your range hood, we recommend keeping the ductwork vertical at least 15" before making your first elbow. Only the following under cabinet range hood series can be converted to rear-ducting: 520, 523, and 527.

11. HOW DO I CONVERT MY ZLINE RANGEHOOD TO DUCTLESS?

Most ZLINE wall-mounted range hoods feature the option to be converted to ductless (or recirculating). If the range hood is convertible, all that is needed for stainless steel models are a set of ZLINE Charcoal Filters. However, for select convertible designer series models, an additional compatible vented crown molding will need to be ordered as well.

12. HOW DO I INSTALL MY ZLINE RANGE HOOD ON MY SLOPED OR SLANTED CEILING?

For sloped or slanted ceilings, we recommend for customers to have the chimney-piece custom cut at an angle, or there is the option of building a soffit down from the ceiling in order to mount the range hood on a flat surface.

13. CAN I PAINT OR STAIN MY WOODEN RANGE HOOD?

You may paint your wooden range hood, however, the different areas of the hood are more porous than others so when you stain it, it will look different in some areas and won’t be a smooth stain. This may cause it to look discolored in some parts, so we don't recommend staining our wood hoods.
