Zephyr Range Hood Installation Manual🔨🔧
- Determine the distance from the top of the range to the bottom of the hood and mark this as line A. Make sure it is at least 26 inches.
- Find and mark the center line ensuring it’s perfectly vertical.
- Mark the height of the hood as line B. Depending on the model, this should be:
- ZAN: 18-7/16 inches from line A
- ZSA: 9-1/2 inches from line A
- ZRV: 15-7/8 inches from line A
- ZRO: 11-3/8 inches from line A
- Mark the mounting points from the center line on line B. Depending on the model, this should be:
- ZAN: 8-7/8 inches on line B
- ZSA: 9-7/8 inches on line B
- ZRV: 8-15/16 inches on line B
- ZRO: 12-5/8 inches on line B
- Insert two M6 x 1-1/2” screws into the wall studs along line B but do not fully tighten. If there are no studs, you may need to add wood blocking behind the drywall. Wall anchors can also be used, but ensure they comply with local codes as the hood’s weight needs to be adequately supported to prevent injury or damage.
- Take out the aluminum mesh filters from the hood.
- Position the hood onto the pre-installed screws and hand tighten each one (refer to Fig A).
- Align the duct cover mounting bracket to the wall just below the ceiling or soffit and attach it using two M6 x 1” screws.
- Install the necessary electrical wiring and ductwork. Use aluminum duct tape to seal the ductwork.
- Switch on the hood to check for any leaks around the duct tape.
- Mount the telescopic duct covers onto the hood and extend the top duct cover upwards. Secure it to the duct cover bracket with two M4 x 8 screws. Put the mesh filters back into place.
- For the ZRV model, lift the glass canopy and place it on the top of the hood body. Secure it by using four 3/16 x 1/4 screws and hand tighten them.

Zephyr range hoods are designed in San Francisco, California.

Which kitchen hood is better? The “best” range hood depends on your specific needs, including your kitchen size, your stove type, the types of food you typically cook, and your aesthetic preferences. Brands such as Zephyr, Broan, Cosmo, and Best have various models that might suit different users.
How long do range hoods last? On average, a range hood can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and the quality of the product.
Are expensive range hoods worth it? More expensive range hoods typically offer more power, higher-quality materials, more advanced features (like quieter operation, better filtration, or built-in lighting), and more stylish designs. Whether these features are “worth it” depends on your budget, your needs, and the importance of the range hood in your kitchen design. Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the lifespan of both expensive and cheaper range hoods.
