ZLINE Designer Series Wall Mount Range Hood

While the unit is designed for convertible venting, you will typically need to purchase a separate charcoal filter kit to enable ductless operation. Be sure to check the specific installation manual for the required filter model number compatible with this unit.

Yes, 30 inches is the industry standard width for most residential ranges and cooktops. It is designed to align perfectly with standard stove footprints, ensuring effective coverage for smoke and grease extraction.

Wall-mounted hoods are ideal for kitchens where the range is positioned against an exterior or interior wall. They offer a streamlined, professional look and free up valuable cabinet space above the cooktop that would otherwise be occupied by an over-the-range microwave.

While a handy DIYer can manage the installation, it involves electrical wiring and potentially cutting into walls or cabinetry for ductwork. If you are not comfortable with electrical work or mounting heavy appliances, hiring a professional installer is recommended to ensure safety and proper ventilation performance.

The convertible feature allows you to choose between venting air outside through ductwork or recirculating it back into the kitchen. If you choose the recirculating (ductless) option, the air passes through a charcoal filter to remove odors before being released back into the room.
