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.

•

•

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, safety screens, 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.

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.

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

HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES; PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLING, CLEANING, OR SERVICING.

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. 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.

- Peel protective film off the hood (if any).

- For installing under the cabinets with recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not included) on each side. Refer to Figure 2.

- Measure and create access opening for electrical wires under the cabinet.
