ZLINE 304 Stainless Steel Wall Chimney Short Kit for 696-304 Range Hoods, Ceilings Under 8 ft.

Lower ceilings deserve a range hood that fits as precisely as it would in a taller room. This ZLINE short kit replaces the standard chimney with two 12-inch pieces, allowing the 304-grade stainless steel hood to mount neatly beneath ceilings under 8 feet without crowding the cooktop.

It is made for ZLINE 696-304 range hoods in a wall-mount installation, so the shortened chimney keeps the same profile and finish as the hood itself.

The right chimney height protects both the look and the function of the hood: it keeps the canopy at a comfortable working height over the range while maintaining a clean, uninterrupted line to the ceiling.

For kitchens with standard or lower ceilings, this kit is the detail that lets a ZLINE hood look custom-fitted rather than compromised.

Specifications

Installation & Care

Install according to the ZLINE installation manual for your range hood model, ideally by a qualified installer. Confirm your hood model number and ceiling height before ordering so the correct chimney or trim piece is selected.

Measure from the top of the hood to the ceiling before installation. The chimney pieces replace the standard chimney supplied with the hood.

Clean stainless surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner, wiping with the grain where applicable.

Coverage

ZLINE warranty periods begin from the original date of product delivery and solely cover the original purchaser of the product, delivered new and in its original carton. The limited warranty covers all parts and labor (if applicable) for necessary repairs if any part of the product, or the product itself, proves to be defective in materials or workmanship.

The product must be deemed serviceable via troubleshooting with the ZLINE Customer Service team. All service (if applicable) on ZLINE products under warranty must be performed by ZLINE-approved and ZLINE-certified service providers unless otherwise specified by ZLINE. Service will be provided during normal business hours. Products must be unobstructed and accessible to the service provider at the time of service.

ZLINE’s liability is limited to the original purchase price of the product. Additional injuries, losses, damages, or other inconveniences caused by product malfunction or defects in materials are not covered under the terms of this warranty.

Terms

ZLINE warranties apply only to the original purchaser of a ZLINE product installed for normal residential use. This is defined as a single-family, residential dwelling in a non-commercial setting. Any warranty claim stemming from installation, operation, or any other use within a commercial setting is not covered under this limited warranty. Commercial settings include, but are not limited to: schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals such as Airbnb, daycare centers, private clubs, fire stations, common areas in multi-family dwellings, nursing homes, food service locations, and institutional food service locations such as hospitals or correctional facilities.

This warranty is non-transferable and will not under any circumstance be extended based on the date of installation — the warranty period takes effect from the date of product delivery and only covers the original purchaser. The warranty applies only to products installed in the contiguous United States and the District of Columbia.

Failure to secure certified warranty service (if applicable depending on the product) per these terms will result in a forfeiture of the remaining warranty. Out-of-pocket payments will not be reimbursed unless prior approval is received from ZLINE and/or ZLINE-certified service contract partners. Unapproved out-of-pocket payments for service will not be reimbursed. All warranty procedures must be followed to maintain warranty coverage.

If a product qualifies within the service window provided under these warranty terms, and ZLINE is unable to repair the product or a defective part of the product after a reasonable number of attempts, ZLINE reserves the right to offer to replace the defective part or the product or provide the original purchaser a full refund of the purchase price of the product (not including installation, removal, or other charges that were not included in the original purchase price).

The original purchaser of the product must provide the original proof of purchase, including the purchase date, when filing a claim to obtain replacement parts, service, or refunds. Additionally, the original purchaser of the product must provide the serial number of the product when filing a claim to obtain replacement parts, service, or refunds.

This warranty shall not apply to any ZLINE product in which the original factory serial number has been removed, altered, or cannot be readily determined for any reason. Further, ZLINE is not responsible for damage resulting from, but not limited to: shipment, delivery, or improper installation; negligence or improper maintenance, misuse, or abuse of the product; unauthorized alteration, modification, or tampering with the product; accident, fire, floods, pest infestations, pandemics, natural disasters, or any other unpreventable or unexplained acts of nature, commonly referred to as “acts of God”; flare-up fires or damages caused by improper electric supply, electrical line current, voltage, or power surges; and service to correct installation not in accordance with the instructions contained in ZLINE’s product manuals and/or with local government codes.
