IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION -
WARNING
:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY,
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.
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.
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
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.
HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES; PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO REMOVE ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLING, CLEANING OR SERVICING.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL WHEN USING ELECTRICAL SCREWDRIVER, DAMAGE TO THE HOOD
MAY OCCUR.

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. (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
and the duct cover (if any).
If necessary, prepare back wall frame with cross
framing lumber for secure installation. Refer to
Table 2 and measurements on Page 12 to
decide the level of the lumber. (Figure 2)
Loosen hood-mounting brackets at the back of
the hood, adjust brackets and tighten screws.
If necessary, remove the rubber stand on the
back of the hood. (Figure 3)

Hood Installation
Wiring to Power Supply
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. Using references in Table 1 and measurements
on Page 12, mark the leveling locations point for
hood-mounting bracket on the wall.
2. Secure two mounting screws (provided) to the
wall, leaving an 1/8” space from the wall.
3. Align the hood-mounting bracket to the
mounting screws on the wall and hang hood into
place.
4. Secure and tighten the mounting screws.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE HOOD IS SECURE
BEFORE RELEASING.
SAFETY WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS RANGE
HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE BY SPECIALIZED
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES. BEFORE CONNECTING
WIRES, SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE
PANEL AND LOCK SERVICE PANEL TO
PREVENT POWER FROM BEING SWITCHED ON
ACCIDENTALLY.
5. Connect the electrical wires.
-
Connect three wires (black, white and green)
to house wires and cap with wire connectors.
Connect according to color: black to black,
white to white, and green to green as shown
on Figure 4.
-
If necessary to hide the electrical wire
connections, push wires back into the wiring
box. Access the wire connections
underneath the hood. To prevent any
damage, make sure wires do not slip
between motor or any moving parts.

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.)
