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.

NOTE - This warranty is void 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
authorized agents. Any repair carried out without the supervision of
KOBE authorized agents will automatically void the warranty.

-

KOBE 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

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.

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 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, installation by 2 persons 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.

NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,

PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING
THE VET OPENING.

Figure 1

-

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 any protective film off the hood.

-

Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe
sections.

CAUTION: USE HAND TOOLS ONLY. DO
NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS. IT MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HOOD.

CAUTION: If moving the cooktop range is
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.

1. Mark centerline of cooktop or range on ceiling.
Use centerline marked on ceiling to position the
range hood as shown in Figure 2.

2. Cut and remove ceiling drywell. Install 2” x 4”
cross framing lumber (not provided) between
ceiling joists.

3. Framing should be 11-2/16” (O.C. = on center)
between front and back, and 10-3/16” (O.C.)
between both sides of the 2” x 1” cross framing
lumber. Refer to Figure 3.

4. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark the
location of the ceiling joists and cross framing
