Advance planning for chimney hoods—island

Recirculating installation

The ZV850/855 hood is designed to be vented to the outside,
but it can easily be converted for recirculating operation.

Recirculating kits are included for the ZV850/855 hood. These
kits include charcoal filters, a support frame with air deflector
and a vented decorative duct cover
to complete the installation. Kits are
sized for ceiling height.

The ZV925SLSS is designed for either
vented or recirculating operation. All
necessary parts are included.

The ZV1050 is not convertible to
recirculating operation.

two-piece decorative duct cover to reach an 8' to 9' ceiling.
An optional duct cover accessory is available for 9'1" to 10'1"
ceiling heights.

Required duct cover accessories for vented installations

Structural support

These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural support
must be provided. Hoods must be secured to cross-framing
positioned between ceiling joists.

• The vent hood and duct cover(s) must be on-site before final

framing and wall finishing. This will help to accurately locate
the ductwork and electrical service.

• Final installation will be much easier if the hood is installed

before the range or cooktop below.

• Mounting templates are provided with the installation

instructions to help accurately position the hood on the
ceiling above the cooking surface.

Electrical requirements

These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and
connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15- or 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.

• The junction box is located on top of the hood. Route the

wiring as close to the installation as possible through the
ceiling. Refer to the installation instructions for details.
