Use the CFM calculator, then shop ZLINE and wall hoods.

FAQ

How many CFM for a ZLINE 36-inch gas range?

Use total burner BTU ÷ 100 and HVI width method; take the higher. Many 36-inch gas ranges land near 500–750 CFM before duct losses—confirm your exact model sheet.

Are ZLINE 400 CFM hoods enough for pro-style gas?

400 CFM may be enough for smaller cooktops but is often low for high-BTU 36-inch gas ranges. Run the numbers for your BTU total.
