- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING -

ALL WIRING MUST BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH

NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION -

WARNING:

1) Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

2) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden
utilities.

3) Ducted fans must be vented to the outside.
a) Before servicing or cleaning unit, open the light panel and SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE

PANEL.

b) Clean all grease laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air

properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into wall spaces, attics, crawl
spaces or garages.

NOT E - This warranty is invalid without an authorized agent’s receipt or if unit is

- KOBE RANGE HOODS will not be held responsible for any damages to

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

damaged due to misuse, poor installation, improper use, mistreatment,
negligence or any other circumstances beyond the control of KOBE
RANGE HOODS authorized agents. Any repair carried out without the
supervision of KOBE RANGE HOODS authorized agents will
automatically void the warranty.

personal property or real estate or any bodily injuries whether caused
directly or indirectly by the range hood.

WARNING

1. Keep all fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking.

3. Use high settings on cooking range ONLY when necessary.

4. Do not leave cooking range unattended when cooking.

5. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food prepared.

6. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.

7. Before servicing, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel (if possible) to prevent
power from switching on accidentally.

8. Clean ventilating fan frequently.

: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE

TOP GREASE FIRE:

1

What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner.
KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.

• NEVER PICK UP A BURNING PAN – You May Get Burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam blast will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a) You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it.
b) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
c) The fire department has been called.
d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

What to Do If You Smell Gas

-

Extinguish any open flame.

-

Do not try to turn on the lights or any type of appliance.

-

Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas. If you still smell gas, call the Gas Company and
Fire Department right away.

CAUTION

1) For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.

2) To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) to prevent back drafting.

3) Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and code authorities.

4) Activating any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.

5) Due to the size and weight of this hood, two people installation is recommended.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Can result in serious injury or death.
Disconnect appliance from electric power before servicing. If equipped,
the fluorescent light bulb contains small amounts of mercury, which
must be recycled or disposed of according to Local, State, and Federal
Codes.

CH-100 SERIES – UNDER THE CABINET INSTALLATION

Preparation before Installation

NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,

PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING
THE VENT OPENING.



Decide the location of the venting pipe from the
hood to the outside. Refer to Figure 1.



A straight, short venting run will allow the hood
to perform more efficiently.



Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and
long run as possible. This may reduce the
performance of the hood.



Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing.



Important: Peel protective film off the hood
(if any).



For installing under the cabinet with recessed
bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not
included) on each side. Refer to Figure 2.



Measure and create access opening for
electrical wires under the cabinet.

Figure 1

Figure 2

Hood Installation

CAUTION: If required to move the cooking
range to install the hood, turn off the power on
an electric range at the main electrical box.
SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS
RANGE.

1. Puncture the knockout holes on the hood as
shown in Figure 3.

2. (This step only applies to 42” and 48”
models.) Attach exhaust plate on hood with
four (3/16” x 3/8”) screws (included). Shown
in Figure 4.

3. Using references on Table 1 and
measurements on page 19 center the hood in
place beneath the cabinet and flush with the
front of the cabinet.

4. Draw electrical wires through cabinet access
opening. Refer to Figure 6.

5. From the bottom of the hood, place screw (not
provided) into the exact center of each
knockout hole. Make sure all screws are in
place before tightening screws. CAUTION:

MAKE SURE THE HOOD IS SECURE
BEFORE RELEASING.

6. For safety purpose, pre-drilled mounting holes
are provided through the back of the hood. For
a more secure installation, use as many
mounting holes as needed to secure from the
inside of hood (screws not included).

MAINTENANCE

For the optimal level of operation, clean the range hood surface and baffles regularly.

To Clean Hood Surface

CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS.

*** Regular care will help preserve its fine appearance.

1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.

2. If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use an orange base cleaner to clean the surface of
the hood. Avoid cleaner to get on the control switches. Only spread a light coating over the
surface of the hood and leave on for a few minutes (do not leave on too long or this may cause
damage to hood finish). Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rubs any
stubborn spots. Use a slightly damp towel to get rid of any cleaning solution. Use dry soft towel
to dry the hood.

3. To bring the glow back into a stainless steel finish, use a stainless steel cleaner.

4. DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.

5. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface
causing rust.

6. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals,
which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

To Clean Baffle Filters & Oil Tunnel

CAUTION: DRAIN BAFFLE FILTERS AND OIL TUNNEL BEFORE OIL WILL OVERFLOW.

1. Remove the baffle filters and oil tunnel..

2. Using a sponge, wash with warm soapy water. Dry completely before returning into place.

(Note: Baffle Filters are top rack dishwasher safe.)
