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 fan, baffles/filters/oil containers 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

- Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
- 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 fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan and
baffles/filters/oil containers.
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE:
1
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
–
Can result in serious injury or death.
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.
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.
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.
Decide the location of the venting pipe
from the hood to the outside. (Figure 1)
A straight, short vent 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. Refer
to figure 5 on page 6.
Important: Peel protective film off
the hood and duct covers, if any.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
Advance Planning
1. Mark centerlines of cook top or range on
ceiling. Use centerlines marked on ceiling
to position the mounting template as
shown in Figure 2.
2. Remove and save template. Cut and remove
ceiling drywall. Install 2” x 4” cross
framing lumber (not provided) between
ceiling joists.
3. The framing should be spaced 12-1/8” at the
front centerline and 14-1/4” on the sides to
accept the mounting screw in the
telescopic stack. Refer to
MEASUREMENTS & DIAGRAMS on
pages 14-15. Shown in Figure 3.
4. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing lumber.
5. Align the mounting template to the ceiling
marks and tape in place. Cut the 7-1/4”
duct open and approximately 1” wire
access hole. Drill holes for the 8
mounting screws as indicated on the
template.

Telescopic Stack Installation
6. Align the telescopic stack to the pre-drill
holes on the ceiling and securely fasten to
the joists and cross framing lumber with
eight screws (not provided). Make sure
screws are driven into center of joists and
cross framing lumber for maximum support.
7. Adjust the blower unit to the telescopic
stack using reference F calculated in
TABLE 1 on page 4 and measurements on
pages 14-15. Tighten blower unit to the
telescopic stack with four (M5 x 15) screws
(provided) as shown in Figure 4.
Wiring to Power Supply
SAFETY WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS
RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED. MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE
BY QUALIFIED 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.
8. Route house wiring into the ceiling as close
to the installation location as possible.
Allow additional length to drop down from
the ceiling to the electric box.
9. Connect the electrical wires according to
color (green to green, white to white, and
green to green) and cap with wire
connectors as shown in Figure 5. Green
wire must be grounded to reduce risk of
electric shock.
Ductwork Installation
10. Use 7” round aluminum or steel pipe (not
provided) to connect the 7” round damper
on the hood to the ductwork above. NOTE:
Place 7” round duct pipe over the damper.
Seal with duct tape to make all joints secure
and air tight. NOTE: MAKE SURE FLAPS
ON DAMPER CAN OPEN & CLOSE
FREELY. (Figure 6)
