Setup and Installation
The Zomagas range hood is designed for wall-mount installation and can be configured for either ducted or ductless operation.
1. Unpacking and Inspection
- Carefully remove all packaging materials.
- Inspect the range hood for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the retailer.
- Remove the protective blue film from all stainless steel surfaces. This film is applied to prevent scratches during transportation. Take care when removing film from edges and seams.
2. Ventilation Options
This range hood supports two ventilation modes:
- Ducted (External Venting): Air is exhausted outside through a 6-inch top vent using the included flexible aluminum duct. This method provides the most effective removal of smoke and odors.
- Ductless (Recirculating): Air is filtered through optional carbon filters (Part CFZMG01, sold separately) and recirculated back into the kitchen. This option is suitable for kitchens without external venting capabilities.

3. Wall Mounting
The range hood is designed for wall mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and can support the weight of the unit (26.5 pounds). Refer to the included installation parts and screws for secure mounting. The chimney height is adjustable from 22.5 to 36.6 inches to fit ceilings between 7.5 and 8.5 feet.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your range hood.
1. Cleaning the Stainless Steel Surfaces
- Wipe surfaces regularly with a clean cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent.
- For stubborn stains, use a stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
2. Cleaning the Baffle Filters
The stainless steel baffle filters are designed to trap grease and are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- Remove the filters by pulling the release latches and sliding them out.
- Place the filters in a dishwasher or wash them by hand with hot water and a degreasing detergent.
- Ensure filters are completely dry before reinstalling them.
- Clean filters monthly, or more frequently depending on cooking habits.

3. Carbon Filter Replacement (Ductless Mode Only)
If operating in ductless (recirculating) mode, the optional carbon filters (CFZMG01) will need periodic replacement. Refer to the carbon filter's specific instructions for replacement frequency, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage.
