IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION -
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.
: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
- 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.
- Always turn hood ON when cooking.
- Use high settings on cooking range ONLY when necessary.
- Do not leave cooking range unattended when cooking.
- Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food prepared.
- Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
- Before servicing, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel (if possible) to prevent
power from switching on accidentally.
- Clean ventilating fan frequently.

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.
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.

Preparation Before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT
DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.
x
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to
the outside. Refer to Figure 1.
x
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform
more efficiently.
x
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as
possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
x
Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation
before installing.
x
Important: Peel protective film off the hood, if any.
x
Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
CAUTION
necessary to install the hood, turn off the power in an
electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF
THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE. And use a
protective covering to protect cooktop and/or
countertop from damage.
: If moving the cooking range is

Custom Hood Preparation
1. The custom hood frame must be sized to the shape and
weight of the insert. Refer to Measurements and
Diagrams on Page 13.
2. It must have a sturdy base (3/4 inch thick plywood
recommended) to sustain the weight of insert.
3. If an optional liner will be installed, the side of the wood
frame must be sturdy (3/4 inch thick plywood
recommended).
4. It is recommended to install rear & front stud support
(not included). Refer to Figure 2. The rear and front
stud support is located 1-1/2” up from the base of the
wood frame. For safety purposes, extra installation
holes on the side of the insert are provided. Prepare
the side stud support if needed.
Liner Installation
5. The custom wood frame must have a sturdy base to
accommodate the cut-out for the inset. The base must be
recessed to accommodate the height of the liner (See
liner dimension on Page 14)
6. Secure the liner to the bottom of the base using screws
(not included) appropriate for the size and material of your
wood frame.
7. Liner is made up of two sections: a large, rear section with
pre-cut for insert and a front section for a total adjustable

depth between 23” and 25-3/4”.
8. Position the rear section of the liner so that it aligns with
the back edge of the custom wood frame. Use a pen to
trace the outline of the pre-cut area. Remove the liner
and proceed to Hood Preparation Before Installation.
9. Install the rear section of the liner with 6 screws (not
included).
10. Install the front section of the liner with 3 screws (not
included)
11. Proceed to Hood Installation on Page 7.
Wiring to Power Supply
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS RANGE HOOD MUST

15. Store wires in the wiring box.
Note: Connect all electrical wires before installing insert.
DO NOT turn on the power until installation is complete.
Duct Work Installation
16. Use 7” steel pipe (follow building codes in your area) to
connect the ducting on the hood to the ductwork above.
Use duct tape to seal and secure joints as shown in
Figure 4.
17. Please refer to local codes for the usage of the damper
(not included).

Cleaning Hood Surface
:
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS. DO NOT
USE PAPER TOWEL ON STAINLESS STEEL.
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container regularly.
*** Regular care will help preserve the appearance of the hood.
1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.
2. If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface
of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of
the stainless steel cleaner. Caution: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to
hood finish. Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots.
Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.
3. DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
4. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface
and cause rusting.
5. 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 lint free cloth.
To Clean Baffle, Spacer, Filter, Oil Tunnel and Oil Container
CAUTION
: DRAIN OIL FROM BAFFLES, SPACER(S), FILTERS, OIL TUNNEL(S) AND OIL
CONTAINERS BEFORE OIL AND RESIDUE CAN OVERFLOW.
Cleaning Baffle Filters
1. Remove all baffles, spacer(s), and oil tunnel(s). Follow directions on page 7 in reverse.
2. Discard oil and residue.
3. Wash with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing.
(Note: Stainless Steel Baffles, Spacer(s) & Oil Tunnel are top rack dishwasher safe.)
