anchor marked on the template guide (Fig.1b). Make sure the head of the screw is
comfortably resting against plastic anchor. CAUTION: The plastic anchor is the exact
thicknesses of the top of the hood so do not over-tighten screws.

4)
a) For top venting: (CH-178 Series) cut along the dotted line of the template leaving a

rectangle opening on the bottom of the cabinet. Tear out & dispose of the template. This
rectangle opening is required for 6”, 7” or 3 ¼” X 10” ducts. Remove temporary
plastic vent portion on the top of the hood. Replace with the actual vent cover that came
with the hood. Cut along the indented outline for the size of the duct opening that you
need. (Fig. 2) Fasten plastic vent piece with the raised surface facing outward back onto

For Mounting on a Cabinet with a Recessed Bottom

1) If you need to move the cooking range to work on the cabinet, turn off the power for an
electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS
RANGE.

2) Measure the space (under the cabinet) between the inside front edge and inside back edge
(Fig. 3). With a saber saw, cut two wood filler strips (not included) to fill in the bottom of
the cabinet. Use 2-1/4” long wood screws (not included) to attach wood strips to the cabinet.
For metal cabinet, use 3/8” x 2-1/2” bolts and nuts to secure the strips to the cabinet. The
hood will be mounted on these filler strips. (For a more secure installation, you can also use
screws from inside the cabinet down into the wood filler strips.) Make sure the filler strips
do not cover the electrical power line access opening.

(Fig. 3)

3) Follow installation instructions from the section For Mounting on a Cabinet with a Flush
Bottom.

Installing the CH178 (42”)(48”) Hood

- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS -

KOBE range hood motors can be operated independently of one another.

This KOBE range hood model is operated by two 2-speed switches located on the front of the
hood. Each switch controls a separate motor with high and low settings. (Fig. 4) The low
setting will handle most exhaust requirements while the high speed should be used for heavier
cooking.

The light switch is located to the right of the control switches. (Fig. 4) NOTE: Before replacing
light bulb, turn off range hood. See section on Changing the Light Bulb. DO NOT uses more
than 12V 20W halogen light (CH-178 Series).

If your range hood is equipped with the QuietMode™ feature, the LED indicator switch will be
located to the right of the light switch. When the QuietMode™ switch is turned on, the LED
indicator will be lit and both fans will change into QuietMode™ regardless whether one or both
fans were on. When QuietMode™ is switched off; the previous controls will take effect.
Remember to turn off control switches after you are finished.

The QuietMode™ feature offers continuous ventilation at a greatly reduced noise level.

Cleaning

To clean the hood surface, use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry up surfaces using soft
cloth. CAUTION: Never use abrasive cleaners, pads, or cloths.

If the hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use an orange base cleaner to clean the surface
of the hood (make sure the cleaner does not get on any control switches). Spread a light coating
over the surface of the hood and leave on for a few minutes (do not leave on too long or there
might be damage to the hood finish). Use a soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently
rubbing any stubborn spots. Use a slightly damp towel to get rid of any cleaning solution. Use a
dry soft towel to dry the hood.

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

To clean range hood fans, turn both motors on high speed and spray a mild degreaser into the
fans. Liquid residue will accumulate in the transparent holders located at the back of the safety
screen. These slide easily in and out for cleaning. The round transparent holders attached to the
fan cover can be unscrewed (turn counterclockwise) for cleaning. (To replace, just screw back in
turning clockwise until it clicks into place.) To clean the fan safety screen, remove the screw
(leave in a safe place), and slide safety screen out. CAUTION: Be careful of hook end of the
safety screen. Both the transparent holders and fan safety screen should be washed with warm
soapy water and completely dried before returning in place. (Both are top rack dishwasher safe.)

CAUTION: Never put your hand into the area housing the fan while the fan is operating.

For the most efficient operation of your range hood, clean the range hood surface, fans and
optional filters regularly.

CAUTION: Drain transparent oil holders before oil can overflow.
