OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

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

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 fan, optional filter and 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.

NOTE - This warranty is invalid without an authorized agent’s

receipt or if unit is 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.

- KOBE RANGE HOODS will not be held responsible for
any damages to personal property or real estate or any
bodily injuries whether caused directly or indirectly by
the range hood.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Keep fan, filter, if any, and grease-laden surfaces clean.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.

• Use high settings on cooking range ONLY when necessary. Heat the oil slowly on low to

medium setting.

• 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 fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan,
filter, and oil containers.

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

- SMOTHER FLAMES with a close 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.

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.

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.

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 may cause ignition or an explosion.

SAFETY WARNING

SERVICING.

Preparations of Ductwork and Location
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.

-

Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe sections.
